Topological Soliton Frequency Comb in Nanophotonic Lithium Niobate

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | Summary:Frequency combs have revolutionized metrology, ranging, and optical clocks, which have motivated substantial efforts on the development of chip-scale comb sources. The on-chip comb sources are currently based on electro-optic modulation, mode-locked lasers, quantum cascade lasers, or soliton formation via Kerr nonlinearity. However, the widespread deployment of on-chip comb sources […]

Directional atomic layer etching of MgO-doped lithium niobate using Br-based plasma

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | Summary:Lithium niobate (LiNbO$_3$, LN) is a nonlinear optical material of high interest for integrated photonics with applications ranging from optical communications to quantum information processing. The performance of on-chip devices based on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) is presently limited by fabrication imperfections such as sidewall surface roughness and geometry inhomogeneities […]

$Λ$CDM: The path forward

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Turner | Summary:The current cosmological paradigm, $Λ$CDM, is characterized its expansive description of the history of the Universe, its deep connections to particle physics and the large amounts of data that support it. Nonetheless, $Λ$CDM’s critics and boosters alike agree on one thing: it is the not the final cosmological theory and […]

LiveCLKTBench: Towards Reliable Evaluation of Cross-Lingual Knowledge Transfer in Multilingual LLMs

Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:Evaluating cross-lingual knowledge transfer in large language models is challenging, as correct answers in a target language may arise either from genuine transfer or from prior exposure during pre-training. We present LiveCLKTBench, an automated generation pipeline specifically designed to isolate and measure […]

A Compact Model for Polar Multiple-Channel Field Effect Transistors: A Case Study in III-V Nitride Semiconductors

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | Summary:A compact analytical model is developed for the mobile charge density of polar multiple channel field effect transistors. Two dimensional electron and hole gases can be potentially induced by spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization in polar heterostructures. Focusing on the active region of devices that employ a multiple quantum-well layout, the […]

Reliability Assessment Framework Based on Feature Separability for Pathological Cell Image Classification under Prior Bias

Kavli Affiliate: Yukari Ito| First 5 Authors: Takaaki Tachibana, Takaaki Tachibana, , , | Summary:Background and objective: Prior probability shift between training and deployment datasets challenges deep learning-based medical image classification. Standard correction methods reweight posterior probabilities to adjust prior bias, yet their benefit is inconsistent. We developed a reliability framework identifying when prior correction […]

Automated Workflow for Non-Empirical Wannier-Localized Optimal Tuning of Range-Separated Hybrid Functionals

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Neaton | Summary:We introduce an automated workflow for generating non-empirical Wannier-localized optimally-tuned screened range-separated hybrid (WOT-SRSH) functionals. WOT-SRSH functionals have been shown to yield highly accurate fundamental band gaps, band structures, and optical spectra for bulk and 2D semiconductors and insulators. Our workflow automatically and efficiently determines the WOT-SRSH functional parameters for […]
