Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ahmed Hajr, Bingcheng Qing, Ke Wang, Gerwin Koolstra, Zahra Pedramrazi | Summary: The Kerr-cat qubit is a bosonic qubit in which multi-photon Schrodinger cat states are stabilized by applying a two-photon drive to an oscillator with a Kerr nonlinearity. The suppressed bit-flip rate with increasing cat size […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Dicong Liang, Siyuan Chen, Chao Zhang, Lijing Shao, | Summary: With the strong evidence for a gravitational wave (GW) background in the nanohertz frequency band from pulsar timing arrays, the detection of continuous GWs from individual supermassive black hole binaries is already at the dawn. Utilizing continuous […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Matthew Otten, Byeol Kang, Dmitry Fedorov, Anouar Benali, Salman Habib | Summary: As quantum hardware continues to improve, more and more application scientists have entered the field of quantum computing. However, even with the rapid improvements in the last few years, quantum devices, especially for quantum chemistry […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Shijie Zheng, Dawei Han, Heng Xu, Kejia Lee, Jianping Yuan | Summary: Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are known for their long-term stability. Using six years of observations from the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), we have conducted an in-depth analysis of the X-ray timing results for six […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Isabel S. Sands, Philip F. Hopkins, Xuejian Shen, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, James Bullock | Summary: While galaxy rotation curves provide one of the most powerful methods for measuring dark matter profiles in the inner regions of rotation-supported galaxies, at the dwarf scale there are factors that can complicate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Houda Haidar, David J. Rosario, Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Miguel Pereira-Santaella, Ismael García-Bernete | Summary: Polar dust has been discovered in a number of local Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), with radiation-driven torus models predicting a wind to be its main driver. However, little is known about its characteristics, spatial […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Sihao Cheng, Gabriela A. Marques, Daniela Grandón, Leander Thiele, Masato Shirasaki | Summary: As weak lensing surveys go deeper, there is an increasing need for reliable characterization of non-Gaussian structures at small angular scales. Here we present the first cosmological constraints with weak lensing scattering transform, a […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Yongming Liang, Masami Ouchi, Dongsheng Sun, Nobunari Kashikawa, Zheng Cai | Summary: We report the identification of a quasar overdensity in the BOSSJ0210 field, dubbed Cosmic Himalayas, consisting of 11 quasars at $z=2.16-2.20$, the densest overdensity of quasars ($17sigma$) in the $sim$10,000 deg$^2$ of the Sloan […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Lu-Chuan Liu, Cheng Wu, Wei Li, Yu-Ao Chen, Frank Wilczek | Summary: Long baseline diffraction-limited optical aperture synthesis technology by interferometry plays an important role in scientific study and practical application. In contrast to amplitude (phase) interferometry, intensity interferometry — which exploits the quantum nature of light […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jitai Yang, Ke Li, Jia Liu, Jia Nie, Hui Li | Summary: In condensed matter physics, particularly in perovskite materials, the rotational motion of molecules and ions is associated with important issues such as ion conduction mechanism. Constrained Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations offer a means to separate […]
