Revised estimates of CMB $B$-mode polarization induced by patchy reionization

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Anirban Roy, Girish Kulkarni, P. Daniel Meerburg, Anthony Challinor, Carlo Baccigalupi | Summary: The search for primordial gravitational waves through the $B$-mode polarization pattern in the CMB is one of the major goals of current and future CMB experiments. Besides foregrounds, a potential hurdle in this search […]

Phase alignment of low-frequency neural activity to the amplitude envelope of speech reflects evoked responses to acoustic edges, not oscillatory entrainment

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Yulia Oganian, Katsuaki Kojima, Assaf Breska, Chang Cai, Anne Findlay, Edward F Chang and Srikantan Nagarajan | Summary: Abstract The amplitude envelope of speech is crucial for accurate comprehension. Considered a key stage in speech processing, the phase of neural activity in the theta-delta bands (1 – 10 Hz) […]

Survey of Gravitationally-lensed Objects in HSC Imaging (SuGOHI). VI. Crowdsourced lens finding with Space Warps

Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Alessandro Sonnenfeld, Aprajita Verma, Anupreeta More, Elisabeth Baeten, Christine Macmillan | Summary: Strong lenses are extremely useful probes of the distribution of matter on galaxy and cluster scales at cosmological distances, but are rare and difficult to find. The number of currently known lenses is on […]

On the Optimal Feedback Law in Stochastic Optimal Nonlinear Control

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Mohamed Naveed Gul Mohamed, Suman Chakravorty, Raman Goyal, Ran Wang, | Summary: We consider the problem of nonlinear stochastic optimal control. This problem is thought to be fundamentally intractable owing to Bellman’s infamous "curse of dimensionality". We present a result that shows that repeatedly solving an open-loop […]

Conformal invariance and quantum non-locality in critical hybrid circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Yaodong Li, Xiao Chen, Andreas W. W. Ludwig, Matthew P. A. Fisher, | Summary: We establish the emergence of a conformal field theory (CFT) in a (1+1)-dimensional hybrid quantum circuit right at the measurement-driven entanglement transition by revealing space-time conformal covariance of entanglement entropies and […]

Anomaly inflow and $p$-form gauge theories

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Chang-Tse Hsieh, Yuji Tachikawa, Kazuya Yonekura, , | Summary: Chiral and non-chiral $p$-form gauge fields have gravitational anomalies and anomalies of Green-Schwarz type. This means that they are most naturally realized as the boundary modes of bulk topological phases in one higher dimensions. We give a systematic […]

High Performance Heat Conductor with Small Spring Constant for Cryogenic Applications

Kavli Affiliate: Takaaki Kajita | First 5 Authors: Tomohiro Yamada, Takayuki Tomaru, Toshikazu Suzuki, Takafumi Ushiba, Nobuhiro Kimura | Summary: We developed a soft and high thermal conductive heat link for cryogenic applications. The measured maximum thermal conductivity was approximately 18500 W/m/K at 10 K. This spring constant was 1/43 of that of a single […]

TESS spots a hot Jupiter with an inner transiting Neptune

Kavli Affiliate: Robert F. Goeke | First 5 Authors: Chelsea X. Huang, Samuel N. Quinn, Andrew Vanderburg, Juliette Becker, Joseph E. Rodriguez | Summary: Hot Jupiters are rarely accompanied by other planets within a factor of a few in orbital distance. Previously, only two such systems have been found. Here, we report the discovery of […]
