Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Juan Daniel Torres Luna, Juan Daniel Torres Luna, , , | Summary: To observe Majorana bound states, and especially to use them as a qubit, requires careful optimization of competing quality metrics. We systematically compare Majorana quality in proximitized semiconductor nanowires and quantum dot chains. Using multi-objective […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline N. Hewitt | First 5 Authors: Kai-Feng Chen, Kai-Feng Chen, , , | Summary: Observations of the redshifted 21-cm line during the Epoch of Reionization will open a new window to probe the intergalactic medium during the formation of the first stars, galaxies, and black holes. A particularly promising route to an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Brenda L. Jones, Brenda L. Jones, , , | Summary: JWST has identified a large population of faint, broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the early universe that are powered by black holes (BHs) that often appear overmassive relative to their host galaxies. In this study, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Filippo Girardi, Filippo Girardi, , , | Summary: Gaussian states are widely regarded as one of the most relevant classes of continuous-variable (CV) quantum states, as they naturally arise in physical systems and play a key role in quantum technologies. This motivates a fundamental question: given copies […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jin Kang | Authors: Abdullah Ozer, Jin Joo Kang, Yuliang Tang, Kumar Yugandhar, Yu Sun, Michael D DeBerardine, Karim Omar, John Lis and Haiyuan Yu | Summary: RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcription is highly regulated at two early steps in the transcription cycle: Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC) assembly with its coupled initiation, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Mathilde Mâlin, Mathilde Mâlin, , , | Summary: Young accreting planetary-mass objects are thought to draw material from a circumplanetary disk (CPD) composed of gas and dust. While the gas within the disk is expected to disperse within the first million years, strong accretion has nonetheless been […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Fengze Xie, Fengze Xie, , , | Summary: Fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer endurance and efficiency but lack low-speed agility due to highly coupled dynamics. We present an end-to-end sensing-to-control pipeline that combines bio-inspired hardware, physics-informed dynamics learning, and convex control allocation. Measuring airflow on a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Zhen Cao, Zhen Cao, , , | Summary: Ultra-high-energy (UHE), exceeding 100 TeV (10^12 electronvolts), gamma-rays manifests extreme particle acceleration in astrophysical sources. Recent observations by gamma-ray telescopes, particularly by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), have revealed a few tens of UHE sources, indicating […]

Kavli Affiliate: Katrin Heitmann | First 5 Authors: Xiaofeng Dong, Xiaofeng Dong, , , | Summary: The potential of deep learning-based image-to-image translations has recently attracted significant attention. One possible application of such a framework is as a fast, approximate alternative to cosmological simulations, which would be particularly useful in various contexts, including covariance studies, […]
