ScatterWorks: A Python package for building and solving scattering network models

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Anton Akhmerov | Summary:Network models provide an efficient framework for studying non-interacting transport and wave-propagation phenomena in disordered and topological systems. We introduce ScatterWorks, an open-source Python package for building and solving network models. The package uses a compact network representation with composable transformation operations (tile, cut, relink, and union) to enable flexible […]

Fabrication-free assessment of microwave losses in germanium-based dielectrics and superconductors

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | Summary:We present a flip-chip-based sensing scheme to measure effective microwave losses associated with target materials for quantum technologies, without requiring any device fabrication on the material under test. Using this approach, we quantify the microwave losses of a strain-engineered Ge/SiGe quantum well heterostructure and investigate losses arising from its Ge […]

Cooling-regulated gas accretion onto gap-opening planets

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ruobing Dong | Summary:Gas accretion onto forming planets controls the final masses of giant planets and provides observable signatures of ongoing formation. How this process depends on the cooling properties of these newly attracted gas remains poorly constrained. We present long-term, three-dimensional global hydrodynamical simulations to quantify gas accretion onto gap-opening planets in […]
