SZ-X-ray Surface Brightness Fluctuations in the SPT-XMM clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey E. Bleem | First 5 Authors: Charles Romero, Massimo Gaspari, Gerrit Schellenberger, Bradford A. Benson, Lindsey E. Bleem | Summary: The hot plasma in galaxy clusters, the intracluster medium (ICM), is expected to be shaped by subsonic turbulent motions, which are key for heating, cooling, and transport mechanisms. The turbulent motions contribute […]

A Time-Dependent Spectral Analysis of $γ$ Cassiopeiae

Kavli Affiliate: David P. Huenemoerder | First 5 Authors: Sean J. Gunderson, David P. Huenemoerder, José M. Torrejón, Dustin K. Swarm, Joy S. Nichols | Summary: We investigated the temporal and spectral features of $gamma$ Cassiopeiae’s X-ray emission within the context of the white dwarf accretion hypothesis. We find that the variabilities present in the […]

Exploiting epitaxial strained germanium for scaling low noise spin qubits at the micron-scale

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Cécile X. Yu, Barnaby van Straaten, Alberto Tosato, Valentin John | Summary: Disorder in the heterogeneous material stack of semiconductor spin qubit systems introduces noise that compromises quantum information processing, posing a challenge to coherently control large-scale quantum devices. Here, we exploit low-disorder […]
