Interplay of vibration- and environment-assisted energy transfer

Posted by Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Zeng-Zhao Li, Liwen Ko, Zhibo Yang, Mohan Sarovar, K. Birgitta Whaley | Summary: We study the interplay between two environmental influences on excited state energy transfer in photosynthetic light harvesting complexes, namely, vibrationally assisted energy transfer(VAET) and environment-assisted quantum transport (ENAQT), considering a dimeric chromophore donor-acceptor […]

Mechanical strength and millimeter-wave transmittance spectrum of stacked sapphire plates bonded by sodium silicate solution

Posted by Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Takayuki Toda, Yuki Sakurai, Hirokazu Ishino, Tomotake Matsumura, Kunimoto Komatsu | Summary: The polarization modulator unit for the low-frequency telescope in LiteBIRD employs an achromatic half-wave plate (AHWP). It consists of five layers of a-cut sapphire plate, which are stacked based on a Pancharatnam recipe. In this […]

A global convergence theory for deep ReLU implicit networks via over-parameterization

Posted by Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Tianxiang Gao, Hailiang Liu, Jia Liu, Hridesh Rajan, Hongyang Gao | Summary: Implicit deep learning has received increasing attention recently due to the fact that it generalizes the recursive prediction rules of many commonly used neural network architectures. Its prediction rule is provided implicitly based on the […]

A Preliminary Calibration of the JAGB Method Using Gaia EDR3

Posted by Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Abigail J. Lee, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Kayla A. Owens, In Sung Jang | Summary: The recently-developed J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch (JAGB) method has extraordinary potential as an extragalactic standard candle, capable of calibrating the absolute magnitudes of locally-accessible Type Ia supernovae, thereby leading […]

Sparse metapiles for shear wave attenuation in half-spaces

Posted by Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Paolo Celli, Ilaria Nunzi, Andrea Calabrese, Stefano Lenci, Chiara Daraio | Summary: We show that shear waves traveling towards the surface of a half-space medium can be attenuated via buried one-dimensional arrays of resonators — here called metapiles — arranged according to sparse patterns around a site […]

Anomalies of Cosmic Anisotropy from Holographic Universality of Great-Circle Variance

Posted by Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Stephan S. Meyer | First 5 Authors: Nathaniel Selub, Frederick Wehlen, Craig Hogan, Stephan S. Meyer, | Summary: We examine all-sky cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps on large angular scales to test consistency with a hypothesized cosmological symmetry: a universal variance of primordial curvature perturbations on great circles. This symmetry is not […]
