Frozonium: Freezing Anharmonicity in Floquet Superconducting Circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | Summary:Floquet engineering is a powerful method that can be used to modify the properties of interacting many-body Hamiltonians via the application of periodic time-dependent drives. Here we consider the physics of an inductively shunted superconducting Josephson junction in the presence of Floquet drives in the fluxonium regime and beyond, which […]

Big Batch Bayesian Active Learning by Considering Predictive Probabilities

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher Ober| First 5 Authors: Sebastian W. Ober, Sebastian W. Ober, , , | Summary:We observe that BatchBALD, a popular acquisition function for batch Bayesian active learning for classification, can conflate epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty, leading to suboptimal performance. Motivated by this observation, we propose to focus on the predictive probabilities, which only […]

Detecting Neurocognitive Disorders through Analyses of Topic Evolution and Cross-modal Consistency in Visual-Stimulated Narratives

Kavli Affiliate: Kinfai Mak | First 5 Authors: Jinchao Li, Jinchao Li, , , | Summary: Early detection of neurocognitive disorders (NCDs) is crucial for timely intervention and disease management. Given that language impairments manifest early in NCD progression, visual-stimulated narrative (VSN)-based analysis offers a promising avenue for NCD detection. Current VSN-based NCD detection methods […]

Direct Comparison of Magnetic Penetration Depth in Kagome Superconductors AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A = Cs, K, Rb)

Kavli Affiliate: Katja C. Nowack | Summary:We report measurements of the local temperature-dependent penetration depth, $λ(T)$, in the Kagome superconductors AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A = Cs, K, Rb) using scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscopy. Our results suggest that the superconducting order in all three compounds is fully gapped, in contrast to reports of nodal superconductivity […]

Picosecond expansion in LaAlO3 resonantly driven by infrared-active phonons

Kavli Affiliate: Nicole A. Benedek | Summary:We investigate the ultrafast structural dynamics of LaAlO3 thin films driven by short mid-infrared laser pulses at 20 THz. Time-resolved X-ray diffraction reveals an immediate lattice expansion and an acoustic breathing mode of the film. First-principles theory and a spring-mass model identify the direct coupling between coherently driven infrared-active […]
