Dynamic modulation of social gaze by sex and familiarity in marmoset dyads

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Feng Xing, Alec Graham Sheffield, Monika P. Jadi, Steve W. C. Chang and Anirvan S. Nandy | Summary: Social communication relies on the ability to perceive and interpret the direction of others’ attention, and is commonly conveyed through head orientation and gaze direction in humans and nonhuman primates. However, […]

Constraints on Primordial Magnetic Fields from the Lyman-α forest

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | Summary:We present the first constraints on primordial magnetic fields from the Lyman-$α$ forest using full cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. At the scales and redshifts probed by the data, the flux power spectrum is extremely sensitive to the extra power induced by primordial magnetic fields in the linear matter power spectrum, at […]

Quantum networks using rare-earth ions

Kavli Affiliate: Wolfgang Tittel | Summary:We review concepts and recent work related to creating light-matter interfaces for future quantum networks based on rare-earth ion-doped crystals. More precisely, we explore their unique suitability for creating photon sources, optical quantum memories for light, and qubits that allow quantum information processing. In addition, we review the state-of-the-art of […]

All-optical computing with beyond 100-GHz clock rates

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | Summary:A computer’s clock rate ultimately determines the minimum time between sequential operations or instructions. Despite exponential advances in electronic computer performance owing to Moore’s Law and increasingly parallel system architectures, computer clock rates have remained stagnant at $sim5~mathrmGHz$ for almost two decades. This poses an intractable problem for applications requiring […]

Prediction-Assisted Online Distributed Deep Learning Workload Scheduling in GPU Clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Ziyue Luo, Jia Liu, Myungjin Lee, Ness B. Shroff, | Summary: The recent explosive growth of deep learning (DL) models has necessitated a compelling need for efficient job scheduling for distributed deep learning training with mixed parallelisms (DDLwMP) in GPU clusters. This paper proposes an adaptive shortest-remaining-processing-time-first […]

Distinct roles of cortical layer 5 subtypes in associative learning

Kavli Affiliate: Rui Costa | Authors: Sara Moberg, Michele Garibbo, Camille Mazo, Ariel Gilad, Dietmar Schmitz, Rui Ponte Costa, Matthew E Larkum and Naoya Takahashi | Summary: Adaptive behavior is critically dependent on associative learning, where environmental cues are linked with subsequent positive or negative outcomes. In mammals, primary neocortical sensory areas serve as pivotal […]

A Disintegrating Rocky Planet with Prominent Comet-like Tails Around a Bright Star

Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | Summary:We report the discovery of BD+05$,$4868$,$Ab, a transiting exoplanet orbiting a bright ($V=10.16$) K-dwarf (TIC 466376085) with a period of 1.27 days. Observations from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) reveal variable transit depths and asymmetric transit profiles that are characteristic of comet-like tails formed by dusty effluents emanating from […]
