Reducing controls noise in gravitational wave detectors with interferometric local damping of suspended optics

Kavli Affiliate: Brian Lantz | Summary:Control noise is a limiting factor in the low-frequency performance of the LIGO gravitational wave detectors. In this paper we model the effects of using new sensors called HoQIs to control the suspension resonances. We show if we were to use HoQIs, instead of the standard shadow sensors, we can […]

SWAP gate between a Majorana qubit and a parity-protected superconducting qubit

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Luca Chirolli, Norman Y. Yao, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: High fidelity quantum information processing requires a combination of fast gates and long-lived quantum memories. In this work, we propose a hybrid architecture, where a parity-protected superconducting qubit is directly coupled to a Majorana qubit, […]

Half-Wormholes and Ensemble Averages

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheng Peng, Jia Tian, Yingyu Yang, , | Summary: We study "half-wormhole-like" saddle point contributions to spectral correlators in a variety of ensemble average models, including various statistical models, generalized 0d SYK models, 1d Brownian SYK models and an extension of it. In statistical ensemble models, where […]

A Spectrum of Time Horizons for Dopamine Signals

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke | Authors: Wei Wei, Ali Mohebi and Joshua Berke | Summary: Dopamine input to striatum can encode reward prediction error, a critical signal for updating predictions of future rewards. However, it is unclear how this mechanism handles the need to make predictions, and provide feedback, over multiple time horizons: from seconds […]

Repeated birth injuries lead to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and impairment in regeneration

Kavli Affiliate: Karen Christman | Authors: Pamela Duran, Emma Zelus, Saya French, Lindsey Burnett, Karen Christman and Marianna Alperin | Summary: Objectives: Childbirth is a key risk factor for pelvic floor muscle (PFM) injury and dysfunction, and subsequent pelvic floor disorders (PFDs). Multiparity further exacerbates these risks. Using the pre-clinical rat model of simulated birth […]

Subnanometer Accuracy of Surface Characterization by Reflected-Light Differential Interference Microscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Ka Hung Chan, Shengwang Du, Xian Chen, , | Summary: We theorize the surface step characterization by reflected incoherent-light differential interference microscopy with consideration of the optical diffraction effect. With the integration of localization analysis, we develop a quantitative differential interference optical system, by which we demonstrate […]
