Ultrafast dynamics of electron-phonon coupling in a metal

Kavli Affiliate: Alessandra Lanzara | First 5 Authors: Choongyu Hwang, Wentao Zhang, Koshi Kurashima, Robert Kaindl, Tadashi Adachi | Summary: In the past decade, the advent of time-resolved spectroscopic tools has provided a new ground to explore fundamental interactions in solids and to disentangle degrees of freedom whose coupling leads to broad structures in the […]

Inductive construction of stable envelopes

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Okounkov | First 5 Authors: Andrei Okounkov, , , , | Summary: We revisit the construction of stable envelopes in equivariant elliptic cohomology [arXiv:1604.00423] and give a direct inductive proof of their existence and uniqueness in a rather general situation. We also discuss the specialization of this construction to equivariant K-theory. | […]

The Cepheid Distance to the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4151

Kavli Affiliate: Michael M. Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Wenlong Yuan, Michael M. Fausnaugh, Samantha L. Hoffmann, Lucas M. Macri, Bradley M. Peterson | Summary: We derive a distance of $15.8pm0.4$ Mpc to the archetypical Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151 based on the near-infrared Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation and new Hubble Space Telescope multiband imaging. This […]

Nanoscale axial position and orientation measurement of hexagonal boron nitride quantum emitters using a tunable nanophotonic environment

Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Pankaj K. Jha, Hamidreza Akbari, Yonghwi Kim, Souvik Biswas, Harry A. Atwater | Summary: Color centers in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have emerged as promising candidates for single-photon emitters (SPEs) due to their bright emission characteristics at room temperature. In contrast to mono- and few-layered hBN, […]

Bitcoin Trace-Net: Formal Contract Verification at Signing Time

Kavli Affiliate: James Chiang | First 5 Authors: James Chiang, , , , | Summary: Smart contracting protocols promise to regulate the transfer of cryptocurrency amongst participants in a trustless manner. A safe smart contract implementation should ensure that each participant can always append a contract transaction to the blockchain in order move the contract […]

Kirigami-inspired inflatables with programmable shapes

Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Lishuai Jin, Antonio Elia Forte, Bolei Deng, Ahmad Rafsanjani, Katia Bertoldi | Summary: Kirigami, the Japanese art of paper cutting, has recently enabled the design of stretchable mechanical metamaterials that can be easily realized by embedding arrays of periodic cuts into an elastic sheet. Here, we exploit […]

Predicting the long-term stability of compact multiplanet systems

Kavli Affiliate: David Spergel | First 5 Authors: Daniel Tamayo, Miles Cranmer, Samuel Hadden, Hanno Rein, Peter Battaglia | Summary: We combine analytical understanding of resonant dynamics in two-planet systems with machine learning techniques to train a model capable of robustly classifying stability in compact multi-planet systems over long timescales of $10^9$ orbits. Our Stability […]
