Tunable supramolecular polymerization from protein charge heterogeneity and architecture

Kavli Affiliate: Liedewij Laan | Summary:Multidomain proteins with flexible unstructured sequence regions are abundant in cellular signaling. This protein architecture enables self-assembly into supramolecular structures, but how structured interaction domains and overall protein architecture jointly regulate the assembly size, structure and kinetics remains unclear. Here we use the budding yeast protein Bem1 as a model […]

Examining the Challenges of Intellectual Property in AI-Generated Productions

Kavli Affiliate: Mazhar Ali | Summary: With the advancement of artificial intelligence systems capable of autonomously generating artistic, literary, musical works, and even inventions without direct human intervention, the intellectual property (IP) regime faces unprecedented questions and challenges. The most critical issue concerns the ownership of moral and economic rights in the absence of a […]

Magnon polaritons in a van der Waals ferromagnet coupled to a superconducting resonator

Kavli Affiliate: Herre Van Der Zant | Summary:Achieving magnon-photon hybridization in the microwave regime is essential for integrating magnetic excitations with superconducting circuits. While this has been extensively demonstrated in bulk magnetic systems, realizing it in two-dimensional van der Waals materials remains challenging due to their reduced magnetic volume and increased dissipation. Here, magnon-photon hybridization […]

Coherence limitations of a Fourier-engineered $cos(2varphi)$ transmon qubit

Kavli Affiliate: Christian Andersen | Summary: Intrinsically protected superconducting qubits are a promising route toward enhancing coherence times and advancing hardware towards applications in quantum computing. The $cos(2varphi)$ qubit achieves protection against qubit relaxation by allowing only the coherent tunneling of pairs of Cooper pairs, resulting in Cooper-pair parity symmetry and thereby suppressing charge-induced errors. […]

g-tensor Optimization in Ge/SiGe Quantum Dots

Kavli Affiliate: Eliska Greplova | Summary:Planar germanium heterostructures hosting hole-spin qubits are among the leading platforms for scalable semiconductor-based quantum computing. Yet, device performance is hindered by significant quantum dot variability, which leads to uncertainty in qubit energy levels and random orientations of the spin quantization axis. Tailored control of the g-tensor offers a strategy […]

Large quantum dot energy level shifts in anomalous photon-assisted tunneling

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | Summary:Orbital energy splittings are important quantum dot parameters for the operation of hole spin qubits. They are known to depend on the lateral confinement of the quantum dots. However, when changing top, plunger gate voltages, which are the typical control parameter for qubit applications, such energy splitting changes are typically […]

Magnomechanical Coupling in Suspended 2D van der Waals Ferromagnets

Kavli Affiliate: Herre Van Der Zant | Summary:Magnomechanical systems provide a promising route for exploring coherent hybrid magnon-phonon interactions and hybrid information processing, but their realization has so far been limited by weak magnon-phonon coupling in conventional bulk platforms. We show that a suspended membrane of a two-dimensional van der Waals ferromagnet with in-plane magnetization […]

Non-magnetic floating phases in frustrated Haldane chains with a single-ion anisotropy

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | Summary:We investigate the effect of a single-ion anisotropy on the bilinear-biquadratic spin-1 J1-J2 chain, focusing on the quantum phase transitions out of the trimerized phase. Using large-scale density matrix renormalization group simulations, we uncover a rich phase diagram comprising five gapped phases and, remarkably, two critical floating phases. These incommensurate […]
