Controllable Interlocking from Irregularity in Two-Phase Composites

Posted by dbos February 25, 2025March 12, 2025Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Chelsea Fox, Kyrillos Bastawros, Tommaso Magrini, Chiara Daraio, | Summary: Natural materials often feature a combination of soft and stiff phases, arranged to achieve excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and toughness. Many natural materials have even independently evolved to have similar structures to obtain these […]

Quantum Wishlist: Lessons from Parton Showers

Posted by dbos February 25, 2025Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Masahito Yamazaki, , , , | Summary: We discuss general criteria that could guide us in applying quantum algorithms/computers to problems in high-energy physics. We then discuss the particular example of parton showers with quantum interference. We summarize the basic ideas behind the classical and quantum parton […]

Hybrid stars with large quark cores within the parity doublet model and modified NJL model

Posted by dbos February 25, 2025Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Wen-Li Yuan, Bikai Gao, Yan Yan, Renxin Xu, | Summary: Using the parity doublet model (PDM) for hadronic matter and a modified Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model for quark matter, we investigate the potential existence of two- and three-flavor quark matter in neutron star cores. Both models respect chiral […]

Atomic layer etching of niobium nitride using sequential exposures of O$_2$ and H$_2$/SF$_6$ plasmas

Posted by dbos February 25, 2025Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Azmain A. Hossain, Sela Murphy, David S. Catherall, Anthony J. Ardizzi, Austin J. Minnich | Summary: Niobium nitride (NbN) is a metallic superconductor that is widely used for superconducting electronics due to its high transition temperature ($T_c$) and kinetic inductance. Processing-induced damage negatively affects the performance […]

Qoala: an Application Execution Environment for Quantum Internet Nodes

Posted by dbos February 24, 2025Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Bart van der Vecht, Atak Talay Yücel, Hana Jirovská, Stephanie Wehner, | Summary: Recently, a first-of-its-kind operating system for programmable quantum network nodes was developed, called QNodeOS. Here, we present an extension of QNodeOS called Qoala, which introduces (1) a unified program format for hybrid interactive classical-quantum […]

Directional propagation of quantum Hall viscous fluid by nano-structural engineering

Posted by dbos February 24, 2025UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Hiroshi Funaki, Ai Yamakage, Ryotaro Sano, Mamoru Matsuo, | Summary: We present a microscopic theory of the viscous electron fluid in the quantum Hall state based on the nonequilibrium Green’s function method and the von Neumann lattice representation. This approach permits the formulation of hydrodynamic equations in […]

Are Sparse Autoencoders Useful? A Case Study in Sparse Probing

Posted by dbos February 23, 2025MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Subhash Kantamneni, Joshua Engels, Senthooran Rajamanoharan, Max Tegmark, Neel Nanda | Summary: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are a popular method for interpreting concepts represented in large language model (LLM) activations. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the validity of their interpretations due to the lack of […]
