Joint Optimization of Hadamard Sensing and Reconstruction in Compressed Sensing Fluorescence Microscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Chris Xu | First 5 Authors: Alan Q. Wang, Aaron K. LaViolette, Leo Moon, Chris Xu, Mert R. Sabuncu | Summary: Compressed sensing fluorescence microscopy (CS-FM) proposes a scheme whereby less measurements are collected during sensing and reconstruction is performed to recover the image. Much work has gone into optimizing the sensing and […]

Thermal anyon interferometry in phonon-coupled Kitaev spin liquids

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Kai Klocke, Joel E. Moore, Jason Alicea, Gábor B. Halász, | Summary: Recent theoretical studies inspired by experiments on the Kitaev magnet $alpha$-RuCl$_3$ highlight the nontrivial impact of phonons on the thermal Hall conductivity of chiral topological phases. Here we introduce mixed mesoscopic-macroscopic devices that allow […]

Design of a frequency-independent optic axis Pancharatnam-based achromatic half-wave plate

Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Kunimoto Komatsu, Hirokazu Ishino, Nobuhiko Katayama, Tomotake Matsumura, Yuki Sakurai | Summary: Pancharatnam-based achromatic half-wave plates (AHWP) achieve high polarization efficiency over a broad waveband. These AWHPs generally contain a property whereby the optic axis is dependent on the electromagnetic frequency of the incident radiation. When the […]

Spatiotemporal Crossover between Low- and High-Temperature Dynamical Regimes in the Quantum Heisenberg Magnet

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Maxime Dupont, Nicholas E. Sherman, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: The stranglehold of low temperatures on fascinating quantum phenomena in one-dimensional quantum magnets has been challenged recently by the discovery of anomalous spin transport at high temperatures. Whereas both regimes have been investigated separately, no […]

Distinct chemistries explain decoupling of slip and wettability in atomically smooth aqueous interfaces

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Anthony R. Poggioli, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: Despite essentially identical crystallography and equilibrium structuring of water, nanoscopic channels composed of hexagonal boron nitride and graphite exhibit an order-of-magnitude difference in fluid slip. We investigate this difference using molecular dynamics simulations, demonstrating that its […]
