Kavli Affiliate: Nathan Lewis | First 5 Authors: Changsub Kim, Christina Bell, Jake Evans, Jonathan Greenfield, Emma Batson | Summary: Progress in superconducting device and detector technologies over the past decade have realized practical applications in quantum computers, detectors for far-infrared telescopes, and optical communications. Superconducting thin film materials, however, have remained largely unchanged, with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Tsung-Han Wu, Luis Ledezma, Connor Fredrick, Pooja Sekhar, Ryoto Sekine | Summary: The introduction of nonlinear nanophotonic devices to the field of optical frequency comb metrology has enabled new opportunities for low-power and chip-integrated clocks, high-precision frequency synthesis, and broad bandwidth spectroscopy. However, most of these advances […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott K. Cushing | First 5 Authors: Nathan Harper, Bryce P. Hickam, Manni He, Scott K. Cushing, | Summary: Fluorescence lifetime experiments are a standard approach for measuring excited state dynamics and local environment effects. Here, we show that entangled photon pairs produced from a continuous-wave (CW) laser diode can replicate pulsed laser […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Midya Parto, Christian Leefmans, James Williams, Alireza Marandi, | Summary: Sensors are indispensable tools of modern life that are ubiquitously used in diverse settings ranging from smartphones and autonomous vehicles to the healthcare industry and space technology. By interfacing multiple sensors that collectively interact with the signal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Ryotatsu Yanagimoto, Rajveer Nehra, Edwin Ng, Alireza Marandi, Hideo Mabuchi | Summary: We propose a scheme to realize cubic quantum nondemolition (QND) Hamiltonian with optical parametric interactions. We show that strongly squeezed fundamental and second harmonic fields propagating in a $chi^{(2)}$ nonlinear medium effectively evolve under a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott K. Cushing | First 5 Authors: Kim H. Pham, Kiarash Gordiz, Jonathan M. Michelsen, Hanzhe Liu, Daniele Vivona | Summary: Ionic conduction in solids that exceeds 0.01 S/cm is predicted to involve collective phonon-ion interactions in the crystal lattice. Here, we use theory and experiment to measure the contribution of possible collective […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. Sternberg | First 5 Authors: Tingtao Zhou, Xuan Wan, Daniel Zhengyu Huang, Zongyi Li, Zhiwei Peng | Summary: Bacteria can swim upstream due to hydrodynamic interactions with the fluid flow in a narrow tube, and pose a clinical threat of urinary tract infection to patients implanted with catheters. Coatings and structured […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Jagannadh Boddapati, Moritz Flaschel, Siddhant Kumar, Laura De Lorenzis, Chiara Daraio | Summary: When the elastic properties of structured materials become direction-dependent, the number of their descriptors increases. For example, in two-dimensions, the anisotropic behavior of materials is described by up to 6 independent elastic stiffness parameters, […]
