Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Te Han, Te Han, , , | Summary: The radius of a planet is a fundamental parameter that probes its composition and habitability. Precise radius measurements are typically derived from the fraction of starlight blocked when a planet transits its host star. The wide-field Transiting Exoplanet Survey […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Sinéad M. Griffin, Sinéad M. Griffin, , , | Summary: We perform the first high-throughput search and evaluation of materials that can serve as excellent low-mass dark matter detectors. Using properties of close to one thousand materials from the Materials Project database, we project the sensitivity […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Mete M. Bayrak, Mete M. Bayrak, , , | Summary: The high frequency performance and yield of III-V semiconductor devices such as InP HEMTs is negatively impacted by subsurface etch damage and non-uniform etch depth over the wafer. Atomic layer etching (ALE) has the potential to […]

Dobrovitski | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: Shuttling of spin qubits between different locations is a key element in many prospective semiconductor systems for quantum information processing, but the shuttled qubits should be protected from decoherence created by time- and space-dependent noises. Since the paths of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wen-Hao Bian, Wen-Hao Bian, , , | Summary: We systematically investigate how static symmetry-breaking perturbations and dynamic Floquet terms via a polarized light manipulate the topological phase transitions in the two-dimensional quadratic-band-crossing-point (QBCP) materials. The Berry curvature shows distinct behavior in such two situations. It is linearly […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Zhuqing Liu, Zhuqing Liu, , , | Summary: Recently, multi-objective optimization (MOO) has gained attention for its broad applications in ML, operations research, and engineering. However, MOO algorithm design remains in its infancy and many existing MOO methods suffer from unsatisfactory convergence rate and sample complexity performance. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Peter K. Blanchard, Peter K. Blanchard, , , | Summary: We present deep James Webb Space Telescope near-infrared imaging to search for a quiescent or transient counterpart to FRB 20250316A, which was precisely localized with the CHIME/FRB Outriggers array to an area of $11times13$ pc in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: The CHIME/FRB Collaboration, The CHIME/FRB Collaboration, , , | Summary: Precise localizations of a small number of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) using very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) have enabled multiwavelength follow-up observations revealing diverse local environments. However, the 2–3% of FRB sources that are observed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Emily K. Pass, Emily K. Pass, , , | Summary: As the field of exoplanetary astronomy has matured, there has been growing demand for precise stellar abundances to probe subtle correlations between stellar compositions and planetary demographics. However, drawing population-level conclusions from the disparate measurements in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tim H. Taminiau | First 5 Authors: Abigail N. Poteshman, Abigail N. Poteshman, , , | Summary: High-throughput characterization often requires estimating parameters and model dimension from experimental data of limited quantity and quality. Such data may result in an ill-posed inverse problem, where multiple sets of parameters and model dimensions are consistent […]
