Dagger $n$-categories

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller| First 5 Authors: Giovanni Ferrer, Giovanni Ferrer, , , | Summary:Category theory provides a unified language for organizing composable operations in many disciplines. In disciplines where unitarity is fundamental — such as functional analysis, quantum field theory, and quantum logic — this language must also capture adjoints, leading to the notion […]

$Γ$-VAE: Curvature regularized variational autoencoders for uncovering emergent low dimensional geometric structure in high dimensional data

Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | Summary:Natural systems with emergent behaviors often organize along low-dimensional subsets of high-dimensional spaces. For example, despite the tens of thousands of genes in the human genome, the principled study of genomics is fruitful because biological processes rely on coordinated organization that results in lower dimensional phenotypes. To uncover this organization, […]

Tunable transport in bi-disperse porous materials with vascular structure

Kavli Affiliate: Abraham Stroock | Summary:We study transport in synthetic, bi-disperse porous structures, with arrays of microchannels interconnected by a nanoporous layer. These structures are inspired by the xylem tissue in vascular plants, in which sap water travels from the roots to the leaves to maintain hydration and carry micronutrients. We experimentally evaluate transport in […]

Scanning SQUID study of ferromagnetism and superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Ruby A. Shi, Bai Yang Wang, Yusuke Iguchi, Motoki Osada, Kyuho Lee | Summary: Infinite-layer nickelates $R_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$NiO$_{2}$ ($R$ = La, Pr, Nd) are a class of superconductors with structural similarities to cuprates. Although long-range antiferromagnetic order has not been observed for these materials, magnetic effects such […]

Tracking topological defect motion and incommensurate charge order melting in a perovskite manganite

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Noah Schnitzer, Berit H. Goodge, Gregory Powers, Jaewook Kim, Sang-Wook Cheong | Summary: Charge order pervades the phase diagrams of many quantum materials where it competes with superconducting and magnetic phases, hosts electronic phase transitions and topological defects, and couples to the lattice generating intricate structural […]

Observation of the double quantum spin Hall phase in moiré WSe2

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Kaifei Kang, Yichen Qiu, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Jie Shan | Summary: Quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators are a topologically protected phase of matter in two dimensions that can support non-dissipative spin transport. A hallmark of the phase is a pair of helical edge states surrounding an […]

Observation of the fractional quantum spin Hall effect in moiré MoTe2

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Kaifei Kang, Bowen Shen, Yichen Qiu, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi | Summary: Quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators are two-dimensional electronic materials that have a bulk band gap like an ordinary insulator but have topologically protected pairs of edge modes of opposite chiralities. To date, experimental studies have […]
