Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Chun-Xiao Liu, Michael Wimmer, , , | Summary: We study the electronic properties of a planar semiconductor-superconductor heterostructure, in which a thin ferromagnetic insulator layer lies in between and acts as a spin filtering barrier. We find that in such a system one can simultaneously enhance the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Jingkun Guo, Simon Gröblacher, , , | Summary: The rapid development of high-Q macroscopic mechanical resonators has enabled great advances in optomechanics. Further improvements could allow for quantum-limited or quantum-enhanced applications at ambient temperature. Some of the remaining challenges include the integration of high-Q structures on a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Zhicheng He, Guilin Liu, Tinggui Wang, Guobin Mou, Richard Green | Summary: Quasar outflows may play a crucial role in regulating the host galaxy, although the spatial scale of quasar outflows remain a major enigma, with their acceleration mechanism poorly understood. The kinematic information of outflow […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Zhenhai Yu1, Xuejiao Chen, Wei Xia, Ningning Wang, Xiaodong Lv | Summary: The rich nontrivial topological phases rooted in the interplay between magnetism and topology in the layered antiferromagnet EuCd2As2 have captured vast attention, especially the ideal Weyl semimetal state realized in the spin-polarized ferromagnetic (FM) […]
Kavli Affiliate: W. L. Kimmy Wu | First 5 Authors: Dominic Beck, Ari Cukierman, W. L. Kimmy Wu, , | Summary: We investigate simulation-based bandpower covariance matrices commonly used in cosmological parameter inferences such as the estimation of the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$. We find that upper limits on $r$ can be biased low by tens […]

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Robert T. Zellem, Bijan Nemati, Vanessa P. Bailey, Eric J. Cady, M. Mark Colavita | Summary: NASA’s next flagship mission, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, is a 2.4-meter observatory set to launch no later than May 2027. Roman features two instruments: the Wide Field Imager and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Shuai A. Chen, Qianqian Chen, Zheng Zhu, , | Summary: Recent realization of well-controlled quantum simulators of the triangular-lattice Fermi-Hubbard model, including the triangular optical lattices loaded with ultracold Fermions and the heterostructures of the transition-metal dichalcogenides, as well as the more advanced techniques to probe them, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Justin M. Wittrock, Stefan Dreizler, Michael A. Reefe, Brett M. Morris, Peter P. Plavchan | Summary: We explore the transit timing variations (TTVs) of the young (22 Myr) nearby AU Mic planetary system. For AU Mic b, we introduce three Spitzer (4.5 $mu$m) transits, five TESS transits, […]
