Stable measurement-induced Floquet enriched topological order

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: DinhDuy Vu, Ali Lavasani, Jong Yeon Lee, Matthew P. A. Fisher, | Summary: The Floquet code utilizes a periodic sequence of two-qubit measurements to realize the topological order. After each measurement round, the instantaneous stabilizer group can be mapped to a honeycomb toric code, explaining […]

Inhibitory control of speech production in the human premotor frontal cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Lingyun Zhao, Alexander B. Silva, Garret L. Kurteff and Edward F. Chang | Summary: Natural speech is full of starts and stops. Here, we studied the neural mechanisms that underlie the inhibitory control of speech, specifically the ability to stop speaking on demand. We recorded direct cortical activity while […]

Nucleosynthesis in outflows of compact objects and detection prospects of associated kilonovae

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Nick Ekanger, Mukul Bhattacharya, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , | Summary: We perform a comparative analysis of nucleosynthesis yields from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, black hole-neutron star (BHNS) mergers, and core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) with the goal of determining which are the most dominant sources of r-process enrichment observed […]

Variational deep learning of equilibrium transition path ensembles

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Aditya N. Singh, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We present a time dependent variational method to learn the mechanisms of equilibrium reactive processes and efficiently evaluate their rates within a transition path ensemble. This approach builds off variational path sampling methodology by approximating the […]

Discovery of Orbital Ordering in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+x}$

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Shuqiu Wang, Niall Kennedy, Kazuhiro Fujita, Shin-ichi Uchida, Hiroshi Eisaki | Summary: The primordial ingredient of cuprate superconductivity is the CuO$_2$ unit cell. Here, theoretical attention usually concentrates on the intra-atom Coulombic interactions dominating the $3d^9$ and $3d^{10}$ configurations of each copper ion. However, if […]
