Modulation Instability and Wavenumber Bandgap Breathers in a Time Layered Phononic Lattice

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Christopher Chong, Brian Kim, Evelyn Wallace, Chiara Daraio, | Summary: We demonstrate the existence of wavenumber bandgap (q-gap) breathers in a time-periodic phononic lattice. These breathers are localized in time and periodic in space, and are the counterparts to the classical breathers found in spatially-periodic systems. We […]

Phonon engineering of atomic-scale defects in superconducting quantum circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Mo Chen, John Clai Owens, Harald Putterman, Max Schäfer, Oskar Painter | Summary: Noise within solid-state systems at low temperatures, where many of the degrees of freedom of the host material are frozen out, can typically be traced back to material defects that support low-energy excitations. These […]

Towards LLM-based Fact Verification on News Claims with a Hierarchical Step-by-Step Prompting Method

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xuan Zhang, Wei Gao, , , | Summary: While large pre-trained language models (LLMs) have shown their impressive capabilities in various NLP tasks, they are still under-explored in the misinformation domain. In this paper, we examine LLMs with in-context learning (ICL) for news claim verification, and find […]
