Should the Endless Frontier of Federal Science be Expanded?

Kavli Affiliate: Thomas Rosenbaum | Summary:Scientific research in the United States could receive a large increase in federal funding–up to 100 billion dollars over five years — if proposed legislation entitled the Endless Frontiers Act becomes law. This bipartisan and bicameral bill, introduced in May 2020 by Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Todd Young (R-IN) […]

The Lack of Non-Thermal Motions in Galaxy Cluster Cores

Kavli Affiliate: Sunil Golwala | First 5 Authors: Jack Sayers, Mauro Sereno, Stefano Ettori, Elena Rasia, Weiguang Cui | Summary: We report the non-thermal pressure fraction (Pnt/Ptot) obtained from a three-dimensional triaxial analysis of 16 galaxy clusters in the CLASH sample using gravitational lensing (GL) data primarily from Subaru and HST, X-ray spectroscopic imaging from […]

Initial Design of a W-band Superconducting Kinetic Inductance Qubit (Kineticon)

Kavli Affiliate: Mohammad Mirhosseini | Summary:Superconducting qubits are widely used in quantum computing research and industry. We describe a superconducting kinetic inductance qubit (and introduce the term Kineticon to describe it) operating at W-band frequencies with a nonlinear nanowire section that provides the anharmonicity required for two distinct quantum energy states. Operating the qubits at […]

Probing transport and slow relaxation in the mass-imbalanced Fermi-Hubbard model

Kavli Affiliate: Nelson Darkwah Oppong| Summary:Constraints in the dynamics of quantum many-body systems can dramatically alter transport properties and relaxation timescales even in the absence of static disorder. Here, we report on the observation of such constrained dynamics arising from the distinct mobility of two species in the one-dimensional mass-imbalanced Fermi-Hubbard model, realized with ultracold […]

Prestrain-induced bandgap tuning in 3D-printed tensegrity-inspired lattice structures

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Kirsti Pajunen, Paolo Celli, Chiara Daraio, , | Summary: In this letter, we provide experimental evidence of bandgap tunability with global prestrain in additively-manufactured tensegrity-inspired lattice structures. These lattices are extremely lightweight and designed to exhibit a nonlinear compressive response that mimics that of a tensegrity structure. […]

Resonant Interaction of Modulation-correlated Quantum Electron Wavepackets with Bound Electron States

Kavli Affiliate: Amnon Yariv | First 5 Authors: Avraham Gover, Bin Zhang, Du Ran, Reuven Ianconescu, Aharon Friedman | Summary: Free-Electron Bound-Electron Resonant Interaction (FEBERI) is the resonant inelastic interaction of periodically density-bunched free electrons with a quantum two level system. We present a comprehensive relativistic quantum mechanical theory for this interaction in a model […]

Kavli Affiliate: Amnon Yariv | Summary:Free-Electron Bound-Electron Resonant Interaction (FEBERI) is the resonant inelastic interaction of periodically density-bunched free electrons with a quantum two level system. We present a comprehensive relativistic quantum mechanical theory for this interaction in a model in which the electrons are represented as quantum electron wavepackets (QEW). The analysis reveals the […]

Diffusing wave spectroscopy: a unified treatment on temporal sampling and speckle ensemble methods

Kavli Affiliate: Changhuei Yang | First 5 Authors: Jian Xu, Ali K. Jahromi, Changhuei Yang, , | Summary: Diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) is a well-known set of methods to measure the temporal dynamics of dynamic samples. In DWS, dynamic samples scatter the incident coherent light, and the information of the temporal dynamics is encoded in […]
