Kavli Affiliate: Austin Minnich | First 5 Authors: David Catherall, Austin Minnich, , , | Summary: The parameter-free computation of charge transport properties of semiconductors is now routine owing to advances in the ab-initio description of the electron-phonon interaction. Many studies focus on the low-field regime in which the carrier temperature equals the lattice temperature […]
Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Xueyue Zhang, Eunjong Kim, Daniel K. Mark, Soonwon Choi, Oskar Painter | Summary: Synthesis of many-body quantum systems in the laboratory can provide further insight into the emergent behavior of quantum materials. While the majority of engineerable many-body systems, or quantum simulators, consist of particles on a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Amnon Yariv | First 5 Authors: Du Ran, Bin Zhang, Reuven Ianconescu, Aharon Friedman, Jacob Scheuer | Summary: We present a fully quantum model for the excitation of a bound electron based on the free-electron bound-electron resonant interaction (FEBERI) scheme. The bound electron is modeled as a quantum two-level system (TLS) at any […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Hamidreza Akbari, Souvik Biswas, Pankaj K. Jha, Joeson Wong, Benjamin Vest | Summary: Color centered-based single photon emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) have shown promising photophysical properties as sources for quantum light emission. Despite significant advances towards such a goal, achieving lifetime-limited quantum light emission […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry Atwater | First 5 Authors: Behrooz Abiri, Manan Arya, Florian Bohn, Austin Fikes, Matan Gal-Katziri | Summary: We propose a novel design for a lightweight, high-performance space-based solar power array combined with power beaming capability for operation in geosynchronous orbit and transmission of power to Earth. We use a modular configuration of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Bang Liu, Li-Hua Zhang, Zong-Kai Liu, Zheng-Yuan Zhang, Zhi-Han Zhu | Summary: Rydberg atoms have great potential in electric field measurement and have an advantage with a large frequency bandwidth from the kHz to the THz scale. However, the sensitivity for measuring a weak MHz electric field […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Yiqing Xu, Wei Gao, David Hsu, , | Summary: Inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) seeks to infer a cost function that explains the underlying goals and preferences of expert demonstrations. This paper presents receding horizon inverse reinforcement learning (RHIRL), a new IRL algorithm for high-dimensional, noisy, continuous systems […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Julius Wanner, Eric Sihite, Alireza Ramezani, Morteza Gharib, | Summary: The feasibility of performing airborne and ground manipulation, perception, and reconnaissance using wheeled rovers, unmanned aerial vehicles, CubeSats, SmallSats and more have been evaluated before. Among all of these solutions, balloon-based systems possess merits that make them […]
