Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: A. Mert Bozkurt, Jasper Brookman, Valla Fatemi, Anton R. Akhmerov, | Summary: We present a systematic method to design arbitrary energy-phase relations using parallel arms of two series Josephson tunnel junctions each. Our approach employs Fourier engineering in the energy-phase relation of each arm and the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Gayane Vardoyan, Emily van Milligen, Saikat Guha, Stephanie Wehner, Don Towsley | Summary: We consider the problem of multi-path entanglement distribution to a pair of nodes in a quantum network consisting of devices with non-deterministic entanglement swapping capabilities. Multi-path entanglement distribution enables a network to establish end-to-end […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Juan Daniel Torres Luna, Sathish R. Kuppuswamy, Anton R. Akhmerov, , | Summary: Braiding of Majorana states demonstrates their non-Abelian exchange statistics. One implementation of braiding requires control of the pairwise couplings between all Majorana states in a trijunction device. In order to have adiabaticity, a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Álvaro G. Iñesta, Stephanie Wehner, , , | Summary: Entangled states shared among distant nodes are frequently used in quantum network applications. When quantum resources are abundant, entangled states can be continuously distributed across the network, allowing nodes to consume them whenever necessary. This continuous distribution of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toeno Van Der Sar | First 5 Authors: Talieh S. Ghiasi, Michael Borst, Samer Kurdi, Brecht G. Simon, Iacopo Bertelli | Summary: Magnetic imaging using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) spins in diamonds is a powerful technique for acquiring quantitative information about sub-micron scale magnetic order. A major challenge for its application in the research on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Liedewij Laan | First 5 Authors: Christine Linne, Eva Heemskerk, Jos Zwanikken, Daniela J. Kraft, Liedewij Laan | Summary: Weak multivalent interactions govern a large variety of biological processes like cell-cell adhesion and virus-host interactions. These systems distinguish sharply between surfaces based on receptor density, known as superselectivity. Earlier experimental and theoretical work […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gijsje H. Koenderink | First 5 Authors: Anupama Gannavarapu, Sadjad Arzash, Iain Muntz, Jordan L. Shivers, Anna-Maria Klianeva | Summary: Fibrous networks such as collagen are common in biological systems. Recent theoretical and experimental efforts have shed light on the mechanics of single component networks. Most real biopolymer networks, however, are composites made […]
Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Prasanna Rout, Nikos Papadopoulos, Fernando Peñaranda, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi | Summary: Bilayer graphene encapsulated in tungsten diselenide can host a weak topological phase with pairs of helical edge states. The electrical tunability of this phase makes it an ideal platform to investigate unique topological effects at […]
