Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Brian Paquelet Wuetz, Merritt P. Losert, Sebastian Koelling, Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Anne-Marije J. Zwerver | Summary: Electron spins in Si/SiGe quantum wells suffer from nearly degenerate conduction band valleys, which compete with the spin degree of freedom in the formation of qubits. Despite attempts to enhance […]
Kavli Affiliate: Angela V. Olinto | First 5 Authors: Viktoria Kungel, Randy Bachman, Jerod Brewster, Madeline Dawes, Julianna Desiato | Summary: The Extreme Universe Space Observatory – Super Pressure Balloon (EUSO-SPB2) mission will fly two custom telescopes that feature Schmidt optics to measure v{C}erenkov- and fluorescence-emission of extensive air-showers from cosmic rays at the PeV […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Changhua Bao, Haoyuan Zhong, Shaohua Zhou, Runfa Feng, Yuan Wang | Summary: Time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TrARPES) is a powerful technique for capturing the ultrafast dynamics of charge carriers and revealing photo-induced phase transitions in quantum materials. However, the lack of widely tunable probe photon energy, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Chi-Ming Chang, Sean Colin-Ellerin, Cheng Peng, Mukund Rangamani, | Summary: We present a one-parameter family of large $N$ disordered models, with and without supersymmetry, in three spacetime dimensions. They interpolate from the critical large $N$ vector model dual to a classical higher spin theory, towards a theory […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Evan McDonough, Meng-Xiang Lin, J. Colin Hill, Wayne Hu, Shengjia Zhou | Summary: We consider the interplay of the Early Dark Energy (EDE) model, the Swampland Distance Conjecture (SDC), and cosmological parameter tensions. EDE is a proposed resolution of the Hubble tension relying upon a near-Planckian scalar […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Youngsoo Park, Tomomi Sunayama, Masahiro Takada, Yosuke Kobayashi, Hironao Miyatake | Summary: We present a novel analysis for cluster cosmology that fully forward models the abundances, weak lensing, and the clustering of galaxy clusters. Our analysis notably includes an empirical model for the anisotropic boosts impacting the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Zhaozheng Lyu, Guang Yang, Bing Li, Yan-Liang Hou | Summary: We studied anomalous Josephson effect (AJE) in Josephson trijunctions fabricated on Bi$_2$Se$_3$, and found that the AJE in T-shaped trijunctions significantly alters the Majorana phase diagram of the trijunctions, when an in-plane magnetic field is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Bingxiao Xu, Yingjie Peng, , , | Summary: We study the structural and environmental dependence of the star formation on the plane of stellar mass versus central core density ($Sigma_{rm 1 kpc}$) in the nearby universe. We study the central galaxies in the sparse environment and find […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Gao-Wei Qiu, Yi Zhou, , , | Summary: A sufficiently large parallel magnetic field will generate staggered supercurrent loops and superfluid density wave in two weakly linked superconducting (SC) ultrathin films, resulting in an inhomogeneous Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state. The SC order parameter of such an FFLO state […]
Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Xiao-Jia Xie, Subo Dong, Yossi Shvartzvald, Andrew Gould, Andrzej Udalski | Summary: We constrain the host-star flux of the microlensing planet OGLE-2014-BLG-0676Lb using adaptive optics (AO) images taken by the Magellan and Keck telescopes. We measure the flux of the light blended with the microlensed source to […]
