Towards a spectrally multiplexed quantum repeater

Kavli Affiliate: Wolfgang Tittel | First 5 Authors: Tanmoy Chakraborty, Antariksha Das, Hedser van Brug, Oriol Pietx-Casas, Peng-Cheng Wang | Summary: Extended quantum networks are based on quantum repeaters that often rely on the distribution of entanglement in an efficient and heralded fashion over multiple network nodes. Many repeater architectures require multiplexed sources of entangled […]

Impartial Selection with Additive Guarantees via Iterated Deletion

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Javier Cembrano, Felix Fischer, David Hannon, Max Klimm, | Summary: Impartial selection is the selection of an individual from a group based on nominations by other members of the group, in such a way that individuals cannot influence their own chance of selection. For this problem, we […]

The Quadruple Image Configurations of Asymptotically Circular Gravitational Lenses

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Chirag Falor, Paul L. Schechter, , , | Summary: The quadruple image configurations of gravitational lenses with vanishing ellipticity are examined. Even though such lenses asymptotically approach circularity, the configurations are stable if the position of the source relative to the vanishing diamond caustic is held […]
