Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | Summary:Surface oxides are associated with two-level systems (TLSs) that degrade the performance of niobium-based superconducting quantum computing devices. To address this, we introduce a predictive framework for selecting metal capping layers that inhibit niobium oxide formation. Using DFT-calculated oxygen interstitial and vacancy energies as thermodynamic descriptors, we train a logistic […]

Kavli Affiliate: James Bock | Summary:Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometers are a well-established technology with a strong track record in experimental cosmology, making them ideal for current and future radio astronomy instruments. The Tomographic Ionized-carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME), in collaboration with JPL, has developed advanced silicon nitride leg isolated superconducting titanium detectors for 200 to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | Summary:It is often understood that supernova (SN) feedback in galaxies is responsible for regulating star formation (SF) and generating gaseous outflows. However, a detailed look at their small-scale effects on the interstellar medium (ISM) in simulations shows that these processes proceed in distinct and separate channels. We demonstrate this finding […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander Ji| First 5 Authors: William Cerny, William Cerny, , , | Summary:The extremely-low-luminosity, compact Milky Way satellite Ursa Major III / UNIONS 1 (UMaIII/U1; $L_V = 11 L_odot$; $a_1/2 = 3$ pc) was found to have a substantial velocity dispersion at the time of its discovery ($σ_v = 3.7^+1.4_-1.0 rm km s^-1$), […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | Summary:Supermassive black hole binary systems (SMBHBs) are thought to emit the recently discovered nHz gravitational wave background; however, not a single individual nHz source has been confirmed to date. Long-term radio-monitoring at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory has revealed two potential SMBHB candidates: blazars PKS 2131-021 and PKS J0805-0111. These […]
