Endotaxial Stabilization of 2D Charge Density Waves with Long-range Order

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Charge density waves are emergent quantum states that spontaneously reduce crystal symmetry, drive metal-insulator transitions, and precede superconductivity. In low-dimensions, distinct quantum states arise, however, thermal fluctuations and external disorder destroy long-range order. Here we stabilize ordered two-dimensional (2D) charge […]

On the Bipartite Entanglement Capacity of Quantum Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Gayane Vardoyan, Emily van Milligen, Saikat Guha, Stephanie Wehner, Don Towsley | Summary: We consider the problem of multi-path entanglement distribution to a pair of nodes in a quantum network consisting of devices with non-deterministic entanglement swapping capabilities. Multi-path entanglement distribution enables a network to establish end-to-end […]

Effect of coat-protein concentration on the self-assembly of bacteriophage MS2 capsids around RNA

Kavli Affiliate: Vinothan N. Manoharan | First 5 Authors: LaNell A. Williams, Andreas Neophytou, Rees F. Garmann, Dwaipayan Chakrabarti, Vinothan N. Manoharan | Summary: Self-assembly is a vital part of the life cycle of certain icosahedral RNA viruses. Furthermore, the assembly process can be harnessed to make icosahedral virus-like particles (VLPs) from coat protein and […]

Design of a Majorana trijunction

Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Juan Daniel Torres Luna, Sathish R. Kuppuswamy, Anton R. Akhmerov, , | Summary: Braiding of Majorana states demonstrates their non-Abelian exchange statistics. One implementation of braiding requires control of the pairwise couplings between all Majorana states in a trijunction device. To have adiabaticity, a trijunction device […]

What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You: Use and Abuse of Astrophysical Models in Gravitational-wave Population Analyses

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: April Qiu Cheng, Michael Zevin, Salvatore Vitale, , | Summary: One of the goals of gravitational-wave astrophysics is to infer the number and properties of the formation channels of binary black holes (BBHs); to do so, one must be able to connect various models with the data.
