Identifying vortex lattice in type-II superconductors via the dynamic magnetostrictive effect

Posted by dbos UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Peipei Lu, Mengju Yuan, Jing Zhang, Qiang Gao, Shuang Liu | Summary: In type-I superconductors, zero electrical resistivity and perfect diamagnetism define two fundamental criteria for superconducting behavior. In contrast, type-II superconductors exhibit more complex mixed-state physics, where magnetic flux penetrates the material above the lower critical […]

Broadband and high-precision two-level system loss measurement using superconducting multi-wave resonators

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | Summary:Two-level systems (TLS) are known to be a dominant source of dissipation and decoherence in superconducting qubits. Superconducting resonators provide a convenient way to study TLS-induced loss due to easier design and fabrication in comparison to devices that include non-linear elements. However, accurately measuring TLS-induced loss in a resonator in […]

Sharp spectroscopic fingerprints of disorder in an incompressible magnetic state

Posted by dbos UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Chaebin Kim, Sumedh Rathi, Naipeng Zhang, Arnab Seth, Nikolai V. Simonov | Summary: Disorder significantly impacts the electronic properties of conducting quantum materials by inducing electron localization and thus altering the local density of states and electric transport. In insulating quantum magnetic materials the effects of disorder […]

A transiting giant planet in orbit around a 0.2-solar-mass host star

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Alan Levine | Summary:Planet formation models suggest that the formation of giant planets is significantly harder around low-mass stars, due to the scaling of protoplanetary disc masses with stellar mass. The discovery of giant planets orbiting such low-mass stars thus imposes strong constraints on giant planet formation processes. Here, we report the discovery […]
