Basic Elements of Strong Gravitational Lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Paul L. Schechter, Jeremy D. Schnittman, , , | Summary: Even when used to describe the same phenomenon, equations, graphics and words each give different perspectives and lead to complementary insights. The basic elements of strong gravitational lensing are introduced here favoring words and graphics over […]

A theory for diffusion-controlled reactions within nonequilibrium steady states

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Seokjin Moon, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We study diffusion-controlled processes in nonequilibrium steady states, where standard rate theory assumptions break down. Using transition path theory, we generalize the relations between reactive probability fluxes and measures of the rate of the reaction. Stochastic thermodynamics […]

Dynamical Sweet and Sour Regions in Bichromatically Driven Floquet Qubits

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: D. Dominic Briseño-Colunga, Bibek Bhandari, Debmalya Das, Long B. Nguyen, Yosep Kim | Summary: Modern superconducting and semiconducting quantum hardware use external charge and microwave flux drives to both tune and operate devices. However, each external drive is susceptible to low-frequency (e.g., $1/f$) noise that can drastically […]

A black hole in a near-pristine galaxy 700 million years after the Big Bang

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Roberto Maiolino, Hannah Uebler, Francesco D’Eugenio, Jan Scholtz, Ignas Juodzbalis | Summary: The recent discovery of a large number of massive black holes within the first two billion years after the Big Bang, as well as their peculiar properties, have been largely unexpected based on the extrapolation […]
