Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Hongyuan Li, Shaowei Li, Mit H. Naik, Jingxu Xie, Xinyu Li | Summary: Moir’e superlattices in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterostructures can host novel correlated quantum phenomena due to the interplay of narrow moir’e flat bands and strong, long-range Coulomb interactions1-5. However, microscopic knowledge of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: José Correa, Paul Dütting, Felix Fischer, Kevin Schewior, Bruno Ziliotto | Summary: A prophet inequality states, for some $alphain[0,1]$, that the expected value achievable by a gambler who sequentially observes random variables $X_1,dots,X_n$ and selects one of them is at least an $alpha$ fraction of the maximum […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eli Yablonovitch | First 5 Authors: Sri Krishna Vadlamani, Tianyao Patrick Xiao, Eli Yablonovitch, , | Summary: Optimization is a major part of human effort. While being mathematical, optimization is also built into physics. For example, physics has the principle of Least Action, the principle of Minimum Entropy Generation, and the Variational Principle. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crommie | First 5 Authors: Kyunghoon Lee, M. Iqbal Bakti Utama, Salman Kahn, Appalakondaiah Samudrala, Nicolas Leconte | Summary: Two-dimensional heterostructures with layers of slightly different lattice vectors exhibit a new periodic structure known as moire lattices. Moire lattice formation provides a powerful new way to engineer the electronic structure of two-dimensional […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Nathan C. Frey, Matthew K. Horton, Jason M. Munro, Sinéad M. Griffin, Kristin A. Persson | Summary: The discovery of intrinsic magnetic topological order in $rm MnBi_2Te_4$ has invigorated the search for materials with coexisting magnetic and topological phases. These multi-order quantum materials are expected to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Carlos Bustamante | First 5 Authors: Daniel Mas Montserrat, Arvind Kumar, Carlos Bustamante, Alexander Ioannidis, | Summary: With declining sequencing costs a promising and affordable tool is emerging in cancer diagnostics: genomics. By using association studies, genomic variants that predispose patients to specific cancers can be identified, while by using tumor genomics cancer […]

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos Bustamante | First 5 Authors: Daniel Mas Montserrat, Carlos Bustamante, Alexander Ioannidis, , | Summary: Local-ancestry inference (LAI), also referred to as ancestry deconvolution, provides high-resolution ancestry estimation along the human genome. In both research and industry, LAI is emerging as a critical step in DNA sequence analysis with applications extending from […]
