Atomic layer etching of InGaAs using sequential exposures of atomic hydrogen and oxygen gas

Posted by klaurent June 24, 2025Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Mete M. Bayrak, Mete M. Bayrak, , , | Summary: The high frequency performance and yield of III-V semiconductor devices such as InP HEMTs is negatively impacted by subsurface etch damage and non-uniform etch depth over the wafer. Atomic layer etching (ALE) has the potential to […]

Decoherence and fidelity enhancement during shuttling of entangled spin qubits

Posted by klaurent June 24, 2025Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Viatcheslav V. Dobrovitski | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: Shuttling of spin qubits between different locations is a key element in many prospective semiconductor systems for quantum information processing, but the shuttled qubits should be protected from decoherence created by time- and space-dependent noises. Since the paths of […]

Tunable phase transitions from semimetals to Chern insulators in two-dimensional quadratic-band-crossing materials

Posted by klaurent June 24, 2025Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wen-Hao Bian, Wen-Hao Bian, , , | Summary: We systematically investigate how static symmetry-breaking perturbations and dynamic Floquet terms via a polarized light manipulate the topological phase transitions in the two-dimensional quadratic-band-crossing-point (QBCP) materials. The Berry curvature shows distinct behavior in such two situations. It is linearly […]

STIMULUS: Achieving Fast Convergence and Low Sample Complexity in Stochastic Multi-Objective Learning

Posted by klaurent June 24, 2025Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Zhuqing Liu, Zhuqing Liu, , , | Summary: Recently, multi-objective optimization (MOO) has gained attention for its broad applications in ML, operations research, and engineering. However, MOO algorithm design remains in its infancy and many existing MOO methods suffer from unsatisfactory convergence rate and sample complexity performance. […]

The DECam MAGIC Survey: Spectroscopic Follow-up of the Most Metal-Poor Stars in the Distant Milky Way Halo

Posted by dbos June 23, 2025July 14, 2025Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Vinicius M. Placco, Guilherme Limberg, Anirudh Chiti, Deepthi S. Prabhu, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: In this work, we present high-resolution spectroscopic observations for six metal-poor stars with [Fe/H]<-3 (including one with [Fe/H]<-4), selected using narrow-band Ca II HK photometry from the DECam MAGIC Survey. The […]

FRB 20250316A: A Brilliant and Nearby One-Off Fast Radio Burst Localized to 13 parsec Precision

Posted by klaurent June 23, 2025MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: The CHIME/FRB Collaboration, The CHIME/FRB Collaboration, , , | Summary: Precise localizations of a small number of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) using very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) have enabled multiwavelength follow-up observations revealing diverse local environments. However, the 2–3% of FRB sources that are observed […]
