Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Chao Xiang, Joel Guo, Warren Jin, Jonathan Peters, Weiqiang Xie | Summary: Silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides with ultra-low optical loss enable integrated photonic applications including low noise, narrow linewidth lasers, chip-scale nonlinear photonics, and microwave photonics. Lasers are key components to SiN photonic integrated circuits (PICs), […]
Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | First 5 Authors: Maggie A. Thompson, Myriam Telus, Laura Schaefer, Jonathan J. Fortney, Toyanath Joshi | Summary: Terrestrial exoplanets likely form initial atmospheres through outgassing during and after accretion, although there is currently no first-principles understanding of how to connect a planet’s bulk composition to its early atmospheric properties. Important […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Luis Ledezma, Ryoto Sekine, Qiushi Guo, Rajveer Nehra, Saman Jahani | Summary: Strong amplification in integrated photonics is one of the most desired optical functionalities for computing, communications, sensing, and quantum information processing. Semiconductor gain and cubic nonlinearities, such as four-wave mixing and stimulated Raman and Brillouin […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Marc Jankowski, Nayara Jornod, Carsten Langrock, Boris Desiatov, Alireza Marandi | Summary: The generation and amplification of photons by parametric down-conversion in quadratic nonlinear media is used as a source of entangled photons, squeezed light, and short optical pulses at difficult to access wavelengths. Optical nonlinearities are […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Hirsh Kamakari, Shi-Ning Sun, Mario Motta, Austin J. Minnich, | Summary: Quantum simulation on emerging quantum hardware is a topic of intense interest. While many studies focus on computing ground state properties or simulating unitary dynamics of closed systems, open quantum systems are an interesting target […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Sophie F. Weber, Jeffrey B. Neaton, , , | Summary: Recent experiments on the antiferromagnetic intercalated transition metal dichalcogenide $mathrm{Fe_{1/3}NbS_2}$ have demonstrated reversible resistivity switching by application of orthogonal current pulses below its magnetic ordering temperature, making $mathrm{Fe_{1/3}NbS_2}$ promising for spintronics applications. Here, we perform density […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Markus Schütz, Bernhard Kerbl, Michael Wimmer, , | Summary: While commodity GPUs provide a continuously growing range of features and sophisticated methods for accelerating compute jobs, many state-of-the-art solutions for point cloud rendering still rely on the provided point primitives (GL_POINTS, POINTLIST, …) of graphics APIs for […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Bock | First 5 Authors: Phillip Korngut, Min Gyu Kim, Toshiaki Arai, Priyadarshini Bangale, James Bock | Summary: Scattered sunlight from the interplanetary dust (IPD) cloud in our Solar system presents a serious foreground challenge for spectro-photometric measurements of the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL). In this work, we report on measurements of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Chengpeng Zhang, Yingjie Peng, Luis C. Ho, Roberto Maiolino, Alvio Renzini | Summary: The phenomenological study of evolving galaxy populations has shown that star forming galaxies can be quenched by two distinct processes: mass quenching and environment quenching (Peng et al. 2010). To explore the mass quenching […]
