Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Christopher Chamberland, Kyungjoo Noh, Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola, Earl T. Campbell, Connor T. Hann | Summary: We present a comprehensive architectural analysis for a proposed fault-tolerant quantum computer based on cat codes concatenated with outer quantum error-correcting codes. For the physical hardware, we propose a system of acoustic resonators […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristin Persson | First 5 Authors: Amalie Trewartha, John Dagdelen, Haoyan Huo, Kevin Cruse, Zheren Wang | Summary: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching effects throughout society, and science is no exception. The scale, speed, and breadth of the scientific community’s COVID-19 response has lead to the emergence of new research literature […]
Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Qingjuan Yu, , , , | Summary: This is an invited commentary on the Nobel Prize in Physics 2020 which was awarded to Roger Penrose "for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity," and Reinhard Genzel and Andrea […]
Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Yunfeng Chen, Qingjuan Yu, Youjun Lu, , | Summary: Stars can be consumed (either tidally disrupted or swallowed whole) by massive black holes (MBHs) at galactic centers when they move into the vicinity of the MBHs. In this study, we investigate the rates of stellar consumption by […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Evan D. Hall, Kevin Kuns, Joshua R. Smith, Yuntao Bai, Christopher Wipf | Summary: Cosmic Explorer (CE) is a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory concept, envisioned to begin operation in the 2030s, and expected to be capable of observing binary neutron star and black hole mergers back to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Dahvyd Wing, Guy Ohad, Jonah B. Haber, Marina R. Filip, Stephen E. Gant | Summary: Accurate prediction of fundamental band gaps of crystalline solid state systems entirely within density functional theory is a long standing challenge. Here, we present a simple and inexpensive method that achieves […]
Kavli Affiliate: Norbert S. Schulz | First 5 Authors: Herman L. Marshall, Sarah N. T. Heine, Alan Garner, Eric M. Gullikson, H. Moritz Günther | Summary: We describe a new implementation of a broad-band soft X-ray polarimeter, substantially based on a previous design. This implementation, the Pioneer Soft X-ray Polarimeter (PiSoX) is a SmallSat, designed […]

Kavli Affiliate: Sven Herrmann | First 5 Authors: Andrei Nomerotski, Paul Stankus, Anže Slosar, Stephen Vintskevich, Shane Andrewski | Summary: It has been recently suggested that optical interferometers may not require a phase-stable optical link between the stations if instead sources of quantum-mechanically entangled pairs could be provided to them, enabling extra-long baselines and benefiting […]
