Highly sensitive measurement of a megahertz rf electric field with a Rydberg-atom sensor

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Bang Liu, Li-Hua Zhang, Zong-Kai Liu, Zheng-Yuan Zhang, Zhi-Han Zhu | Summary: Rydberg atoms have great potential in electric field measurement and have an advantage with a large frequency bandwidth from the kHz to the THz scale. However, the sensitivity for measuring a weak MHz electric field […]

Applications of a perturbation-aware local correlation method to coupled cluster linear response properties

Kavli Affiliate: Thomas Crawford | First 5 Authors: Ruhee D’Cunha, T. Daniel Crawford, , , | Summary: We have investigated the efficacy of two recently proposed variations of the pair-natural-orbital approach to reducing the scaling of coupled cluster property calculations. In particular, we have extended our implementations of the PNO++ and combined PNO++ methods, which […]

Revealing the nature of a Lyman-$α$ halo in a strongly-lensed interacting system at $z=2.92$

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Manuel Solimano, Jorge González-López, Manuel Aravena, Evelyn Johnston, Cristóbal Moya-Sierralta | Summary: Spatially extended halos of Lyman Alpha (Ly$alpha$) emission are now ubiquitously found around high-redshift star-forming galaxies. But our understanding of the nature and powering mechanisms of these halos is still hampered by the complex radiative […]
