Optical Refrigeration for an Optomechanical Amplifier

Kavli Affiliate: Rana X. Adhikari | First 5 Authors: Samuel Schulz, Yehonathan Drori, Christopher Wipf, Rana X Adhikari, | Summary: We explore the viability of using optical refrigeration as a low-vibration cooling method for a phase-sensitive optomechanical amplifier proposed to improve the sensitivity of future gravitational wave detectors. We find that with moderate improvements on […]

A New Component from the Quiet Sun: Synchrotron Radiation from Galactic Cosmic-Ray Electrons

Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: The quiet Sun, i.e. in its non-flaring state or non-flaring regions, emits thermal radiation from radio to ultraviolet. The quiet Sun produces also non-thermal radiation observed in gamma rays due to interactions of Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) with the solar gas […]

Design rules for controlling active topological defects

Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Suraj Shankar, Luca V. D. Scharrer, Mark J. Bowick, M. Cristina Marchetti, | Summary: Topological defects play a central role in the physics of many materials, including magnets, superconductors and liquid crystals. In active fluids, defects become autonomous particles that spontaneously propel from internal active stresses […]

Mixed Neural Voxels for Fast Multi-view Video Synthesis

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Sinan Tan, Xinghang Li, Zeyue Tian, Yafei Song | Summary: Synthesizing high-fidelity videos from real-world multi-view input is challenging because of the complexities of real-world environments and highly dynamic motions. Previous works based on neural radiance fields have demonstrated high-quality reconstructions of dynamic scenes. However, […]
