Kavli Affiliate: Kerry Vahala | First 5 Authors: Qing-Xin Ji, Wei Zhang, Peng Liu, Warren Jin, Joel Guo | Summary: The remarkable frequency stability of resonant systems in the optical domain (optical cavities and atomic transitions) can be harnessed at frequency scales accessible by electronics using optical frequency division. This capability is revolutionizing technologies spanning […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Lior Michaeli, Ramon Gao, Michael D. Kelzenberg, Claudio U. Hail, Adrien Merkt | Summary: Ultrathin lightsails propelled by laser radiation pressure to relativistic speeds are currently the most promising route for flyby-based exoplanet exploration. However, there has been a notable lack of experimental characterization of key […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kerry Vahala | First 5 Authors: Yang He, Long Cheng, Heming Wang, Yu Zhang, Roy Meade | Summary: Optical frequency division based on bulk or fiber optics provides unprecedented spectral purity for microwave oscillators. To extend the applications of this approach, the big challenges are to develop miniaturized optical frequency division oscillators without […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Andrei Ruskuc, Chun-Ju Wu, Emanuel Green, Sophie L. N. Hermans, Joonhee Choi | Summary: Single photon emitters with internal spin are leading contenders for developing quantum repeater networks, enabling long-range entanglement distribution for transformational technologies in communications and sensing. However, scaling beyond current few-node networks will require […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mohammad Mirhosseini | First 5 Authors: Parth S. Shah, Frank Yang, Chaitali Joshi, Mohammad Mirhosseini, | Summary: Distributing entanglement between remote sites is integral to quantum networks. Here, we demonstrate the autonomous stabilization of remote entanglement between a pair of non-interacting superconducting qubits connected by an open waveguide on a chip. In this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rana Adhikari | First 5 Authors: Kartik Sheth, Kevin Govender, Vanessa McBride, Laura Trouille, Puji Irawati | Summary: Policy Brief on "Workforce Development in Astronomy and Astroinformatics", distilled from the corresponding panel that was part of the discussions during S20 Policy Webinar on Astroinformatics for Sustainable Development held on 6-7 July 2023. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joseph Falson | First 5 Authors: Adrian Llanos, Giovanna Campisi, Veronica Show, Jinwoong Kim, Reiley Dorrian | Summary: Rare-earth diantimondes exhibit coupling between structural and electronic orders which are tunable under pressure and temperature. Here we present the discovery of a new polymorph of LaSb$_2$ stabilized in thin films synthesized using molecular beam […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil R. Golwala | First 5 Authors: Karthik Ramanathan, Osmond Wen, Taylor Aralis, Ritoban Basu Thakur, Bruce Bumble | Summary: Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) have been demonstrated as capable phonon sensors when coupled to crystalline substrates, and have been proposed as detectors for next-generation rare-event searches such as for the direct detection […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: James Williams, Rajveer Nehra, Elina Sendonaris, Luis Ledezma, Robert M. Gray | Summary: Photonics offers unique capabilities for quantum information processing (QIP) such as room-temperature operation, the scalability of nanophotonics, and access to ultrabroad bandwidths and consequently ultrafast operation. Ultrashort-pulse sources of quantum states in nanophotonics are […]
