Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Satoshi Shirai, Keiichi Watanabe, , | Summary: The Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism successfully explains the hierarchical structure of fermion Yukawa couplings by introducing a U(1) flavor symmetry with distinct charge assignments for different fermion generations. While some FN charge assignments have been proposed, their evaluation has […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Sanghyun Son, Sanghyun Son, , , | Summary: Recent probabilistic methods for 3D triangular meshes capture diverse shapes by differentiable mesh connectivity, but face high computational costs with increased shape details. We introduce a new differentiable mesh processing method that addresses this challenge and efficiently handles meshes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: R. Johanna Zijderveld, R. Johanna Zijderveld, , , | Summary: The surface states of intrinsic higher order topological phases are protected by the spatial symmetries of a finite sample. This property makes the existing scattering theory of topological invariants inapplicable because the scattering geometry is either […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: T. Oshio, R. Nishimoto, T. Higuchi, K. Hayasaka, K. Koike | Summary: The quantum charge-coupled device (QCCD) is one of the notable architectures to achieve large-scale trapped-ion quantum computers. To realize QCCD architecture, ions must be transported quickly while minimizing motional excitation. High-voltage sources are necessary to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey E. Bleem | First 5 Authors: Charles Romero, Massimo Gaspari, Gerrit Schellenberger, Bradford A. Benson, Lindsey E. Bleem | Summary: The hot plasma in galaxy clusters, the intracluster medium (ICM), is expected to be shaped by subsonic turbulent motions, which are key for heating, cooling, and transport mechanisms. The turbulent motions contribute […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: While there are many different mechanisms which have been proposed to understand the physics behind light induced “superconductivity", what seems to be common to the class of materials in which this is observed are strong pairing correlations, which are present in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nergis Mavalvala | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Lou, Benjamin Lou, , , | Summary: Entanglement often increases quantum measurement schemes’ sensitivity. However, we find that in precision measurements with zero-mean Gaussian states, such as squeezed states, entanglement between different paths degrades measurement sensitivity. We prove an inverse relationship between entanglement entropy and sensitivity […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Rufus Boyack, K. Levin, , | Summary: Observing the “Higgs" or amplitude mode in superconductors has been a central challenge in condensed matter physics. Moreover, arriving at a theoretical understanding of this mode and how it is accessible in, say, conductivity experiments presents an additional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Kaiwen Jiang, Venkataram Sivaram, Cheng Peng, Ravi Ramamoorthi, | Summary: Geometric reconstruction of opaque surfaces from images is a longstanding challenge in computer vision, with renewed interest from volumetric view synthesis algorithms using radiance fields. We leverage the geometry field proposed in recent work for stochastic opaque […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Francesco Fenu, Haocheng Zhang, Stella Boula | Summary: The X-ray polarization observations made possible with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) offer new ways of probing high-energy emission processes in astrophysical jets from blazars. Here we report on the first X-ray […]
