Kavli Affiliate: Abigail Vieregg | First 5 Authors: A. G. Vieregg, K. Bechtol, A. Romero-Wolf, , | Summary: The detection of high energy neutrinos ($10^{15}-10^{20}$ eV or $1-10^{5}$ PeV) is an important step toward understanding the most energetic cosmic accelerators and would enable tests of fundamental physics at energy scales that cannot easily be achieved […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Ashok T. Ramu, John E. Bowers, , , | Summary: A recently developed enhanced Fourier law is applied to the problem of extracting thermal properties of materials from frequency-domain thermoreflectance (FDTR) experiments. The heat transfer model comprises contributions from two phonon channels; one a high-heat-capacity diffuse […]
Kavli Affiliate: Larry Coldren | First 5 Authors: Morten P. Bakker, Thomas Ruytenberg, Wolfgang Loffler, Ajit V. Barve, Larry Coldren | Summary: In an oxide apertured quantum dot (QD) micropillar cavity-QED system, we found strong QD hysteresis effects and lineshape modifications even at very low intensities corresponding to less than 0.001 intracavity photons. We attribute […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Ashok T. Ramu, John E. Bowers, , , | Summary: The mean-free path (MFP) accumulation function for the effective thermal conductivity, introduced by Dames and Chen is a compact, universal and highly useful summary of the effect of ballistic thermal transport on the effective thermal conductivity […]
Kavli Affiliate: Elise Jennings | First 5 Authors: Elise Jennings, David Jennings, , , | Summary: The linear growth rate is commonly defined through a simple deterministic relation between the velocity divergence and the matter overdensity in the linear regime. We introduce a formalism that extends this to a nonlinear, stochastic relation between $θ= nabla […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bradford Benson | First 5 Authors: Henry W. Lin, Michael McDonald, Bradford Benson, Eric Miller, | Summary: Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) surveys find massive clusters of galaxies by measuring the inverse Compton scattering of cosmic microwave background off of intra-cluster gas. The cluster selection function from such surveys is expected to be nearly independent of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Miguel Molerón, Chiara Daraio, , , | Summary: Lenses that can collect the perfect image of an object must restore propagative and evanescent waves. However, for efficient information transfer, e.g., in compressed sensing, it is often desirable to detect only the fast spatial variations of the wave […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Austin Joyce, Justin Khoury, Marko Simonović, , | Summary: We derive novel identities satisfied by inflationary correlation functions in the limit where two external momenta are taken to be small. We derive these statements in two ways: using background-wave arguments and as Ward identities following from the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: Z. Ahmed, J. A. Grayson, K. L. Thompson, C. L. Kuo, G. Brooks | Summary: Ground-based millimeter and sub-millimeter telescopes are attempting to image the sky with ever-larger cryogenically-cooled bolometer arrays, but face challenges in mitigating the infrared loading accompanying large apertures. Absorptive infrared filters supported by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Alireza Marandi, Zhe Wang, Kenta Takata, Robert L. Byer, Yoshihisa Yamamoto | Summary: Finding the ground states of the Ising Hamiltonian [1] maps to various combinatorial optimization problems in biology, medicine, wireless communications, artificial intelligence, and social network. So far no efficient classical and quantum algorithm is […]
