Kavli Affiliate: C. L. Kuo | First 5 Authors: J. S. -Y. Leung, J. Hartley, J. M. Nagy, C. B. Netterfield, J. A. Shariff | Summary: Modern CMB analysis pipelines regularly employ complex time-domain filters, beam models, masking, and other techniques during the production of sky maps and their corresponding angular power spectra. However, these […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil Golwala | First 5 Authors: Junhan Kim, Sunil Golwala, James G. Bartlett, Stefania Amodeo, Nicholas Battaglia | Summary: The thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (tSZ) effect is a powerful tool with the potential for constraining directly the properties of the hot gas that dominates dark matter halos because it measures pressure and thus thermal energy […]
Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Joseph Casamento, Hyunjea Lee, Takuya Maeda, Ved Gund, Kazuki Nomoto | Summary: Epitaxial Sc$_x$Al$_{1-x}$N thin films of ~100 nm thickness grown on metal polar GaN exhibit significantly enhanced relative dielectric permittivity ($epsilon_r$) values relative to AlN. $epsilon_r$ values of ~17 to 21 for Sc contents of 17 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Jia Liu, Navin McGinnis, Carlos E. M. Wagner, Xiao-Ping Wang, | Summary: We investigate a concrete scenario of a light scalar with a mass around 1 MeV which can be connected to the origin of neutrino masses and simultaneously survive current bounds on relativistic degrees […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Keisuke Inomata, Evan McDonough, Wayne Hu, , | Summary: The next generation of cosmic microwave background, gravitational wave, and large scale structure, experiments will provide an unprecedented opportunity to probe the primordial power spectrum on small scales. An exciting possibility for what lurks on small scales is […]
Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Robert L. Cook, Liwen Ko, K. Birgitta Whaley, , | Summary: In this work we study the first step in photosynthesis for the limiting extreme case of a single photon interacting with photosystem II (PSII). We model our system using quantum trajectory theory, which allows us […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wise | First 5 Authors: Yi-Hao Chen, Pavel Sidorenko, Enrique Antonio-Lopez, Rodrigo Amezcua-Correa, Frank Wise | Summary: We report a study of soliton self-frequency shifting in hydrogen-filled hollow-core fiber. The combination of hydrogen and short 40-fs input pulses underlies clean and efficient generation of Raman solitons between 1080 and 1600 nm. With […]
Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Ian Convy, K. Birgitta Whaley, , , | Summary: We consider the problem of continuous quantum error correction from a Bayesian perspective, proposing a pair of digital filters using logarithmic probabilities that are able to achieve near-optimal performance on a three-qubit bit-flip code while still being […]
Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Ian Convy, Haoran Liao, Song Zhang, Sahil Patel, William P. Livingston | Summary: We propose a machine learning algorithm for continuous quantum error correction that is based on the use of a recurrent neural network to identity bit-flip errors from continuous noisy syndrome measurements. The algorithm […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Anton Baleato Lizancos, Naomi Robertson, Blake D. Sherwin, Anthony Challinor | Summary: We introduce and validate a delensing framework for the Simons Observatory (SO), which will be used to improve constraints on inflationary gravitational waves (IGWs) by reducing the lensing noise in measurements of the […]
