Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Chengying Bao, Boqiang Shen, Myoung-Gyun Suh, Heming Wang, Kemal Safak | Summary: Both the group velocity and phase velocity of two solitons can be synchronized by a Kerr-effect mediated interaction, causing what is known as soliton trapping. Trapping can occur when solitons travel through single-pass optical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Philip Camayd-Muñoz, Conner Ballew, Gregory Roberts, Andrei Faraon, | Summary: Three-dimensional elements, with refractive index distribution structured at sub-wavelength scale, provide an expansive optical design space that can be harnessed for demonstrating multi-functional free-space optical devices. Here we present 3D dielectric elements, designed to be placed on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Laura Kim, Seyoon Kim, Pankaj K. Jha, Victor W. Brar, Harry A. Atwater | Summary: The decay dynamics of excited carriers in graphene have attracted wide scientific attention, as the gapless Dirac electronic band structure opens up relaxation channels that are not allowed in conventional materials. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mohammad Mirhosseini | First 5 Authors: Vinicius S. Ferreira, Jash Banker, Alp Sipahigil, Matthew H. Matheny, Andrew J. Keller | Summary: A structured electromagnetic reservoir can result in novel dynamics of quantum emitters. In particular, the reservoir can be tailored to have a memory of past interactions with emitters, in contrast to memory-less […]
Kavli Affiliate: M. Gharib | First 5 Authors: E. F. Schibber, D. R. Mittelstein, M. Gharib, M. G. Shapiro, P. P. Lee | Summary: The method of oncotripsy, first proposed in [S. Heyden and M. Ortiz (2016). Oncotripsy: Targeting cancer cells selectively via resonant harmonic excitation. Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 92:164-175], […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Roukes | First 5 Authors: Olli-Pentti Saira, Matthew H. Matheny, Libin Wang, Jukka Pekola, Michael Roukes | Summary: Weak electron-phonon interaction in metals at low temperatures forms the basis of operation for cryogenic hot-electron bolometers and calorimeters. Standard power laws, describing the heat flow in the majority of experiments, have been identified […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael L. Roukes | First 5 Authors: Olli-Pentti Saira, Matthew H. Matheny, Raj Katti, Warren Fon, Gregory Wimsatt | Summary: We implement a thermal-fluctuation driven logical bit reset on a superconducting flux logic cell. We show that the logical state of the system can be continuously monitored with only a small perturbation to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael L. Roukes | First 5 Authors: Gregory Wimsatt, Olli-Pentti Saira, Alexander B. Boyd, Matthew H. Matheny, Siyuan Han | Summary: We experimentally demonstrate that highly structured distributions of work emerge during even the simple task of erasing a single bit. These are signatures of a refined suite of time-reversal symmetries in distinct […]
Kavli Affiliate: Julia R. Greer | First 5 Authors: Yejing Liu, Hao Wang, Jinfa Ho, Ryan C. Ng, Ray J. H. Ng | Summary: The rings, spots and stripes found on some butterflies, Pachyrhynchus weevils, and many chameleons are notable examples of natural organisms employing photonic crystals to produce colorful patterns. Despite advances in nanotechnology, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joseph Falson | First 5 Authors: Joseph Falson, Yong Xu, Menghan Liao, Yunyi Zang, Kejing Zhu | Summary: Spin-orbit coupling has proven indispensable in realizing topological materials and more recently Ising pairing in two-dimensional superconductors. This pairing mechanism relies on inversion symmetry breaking and sustains anomalously large in-plane polarizing magnetic fields whose upper […]
