Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Aman Sharma, Mithilesh Nayak, Natalia Chepiga, Frédéric Mila, | Summary: We study the dynamical structure factor of the frustrated spin-$3/2$ $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg chains, with particular focus on the partially dimerized phase that emerges between two Kosterlitz-Thouless transitions. Using a valence bond solid ansatz corroborated by density matrix […]

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Jose Soto-Garcia, Natalia Chepiga, , , | Summary: Chains of Rydberg atoms have emerged as an amazing platform for simulating quantum physics in low dimensions. This remarkable success is due to the versatility of lattice geometries achieved by trapping neutral atoms with optical tweezers. On a given […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herre S. J. Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Matteo Arfini, Alvaro Bermejillo-Seco, Artem Bondarenko, Clinton A. Potts, Yaroslav M. Blanter | Summary: We experimentally and theoretically demonstrate that nonlinear spin-wave dynamics can induce an effective resonant interaction between non-resonant magnon modes in a yttrium iron garnet disk. Under strong pumping near […]

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Rik Mulder, Bowy M. La Rivière, Natalia Chepiga, , | Summary: We report the appearance of exact zero modes in junctions of interacting Majorana wires. We consider two, three and four short Majorana chains coupled to each other at one edge and forming a longer chain with […]

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Stefano Achilli, Damiano Marian, Mario Lodari, Emiliano Bonera, Giordano Scappucci | Summary: The generation of an out-of-equilibrium population of spin-polarized carriers is a keystone process for quantum technologies and spintronics alike. It can be achieved through the so-called optical spin orientation by exciting the material with circularly […]

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Pablo Cova Fariña, Daniel Jirovec, Xin Zhang, Elizaveta Morozova, Stefan D. Oosterhout | Summary: Quasi-particle dynamics in interacting systems in the presence of disorder challenges the notion of internal thermalization, but proves difficult to investigate theoretically for large particle numbers. Engineered quantum systems may offer a viable […]

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Davide Costa, Karina Hudson, Patrick Del Vecchio, Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Alberto Tosato | Summary: Ge and Si strained quantum wells have enabled the most advanced spin-qubit quantum processors, but they are deposited on defective, metamorphic SiGe substrates, which may impact device performance and scaling. Here we […]

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Merrit P. Losert, Maia Rigot, Davide Degli Esposti, Sara Martí-Sánchez | Summary: Electron spin qubits in Si/SiGe quantum wells are limited by the small and variable energy separation of the conduction band valleys. While sharp quantum well interfaces are pursued to increase the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jos W. Zwanikken | First 5 Authors: Tamara Mijatović, Aimée R. Kok, Jos W. Zwanikken, Marianne Bauer, | Summary: Transcription factor concentrations provide signals to cells that allow them to regulate gene expression to make correct cell fate decisions. Calculations for noise bounds in gene regulation suggest that clustering or cooperative binding of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Samuel Oslovich, Bart van der Vecht, Stephanie Wehner, , | Summary: Execution of quantum network applications requires a software stack for nodes. Recently, the first designs and demonstrations have been proposed for such software stacks, including QNodeOS and its extension, Qoala. The latter enables compilation strategies previously […]
