Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Jingkun Guo, Simon Gröblacher, , , | Summary: Preparing macroscopic mechanical resonators close to their motional quantum groundstate and generating entanglement with light offers great opportunities in studying fundamental physics and in developing a new generation of quantum applications. Here we propose an experimentally interesting scheme, which […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Tom Dvir, Guanzhong Wang, Nick van Loo, Chun-Xiao Liu, Grzegorz P. Mazur | Summary: Majorana bound states constitute one of the simplest examples of emergent non-Abelian excitations in condensed matter physics. A toy model proposed by Kitaev shows that such states can arise on the ends of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Xin Shi, Anna-Katharina Pumm, Christopher Maffeo, Fabian Kohler, Elija Feigl | Summary: Rotary motors play key roles in energy transduction, from macroscale windmills to nanoscale turbines such as ATP synthase in cells. Despite our capabilities to construct engines at many scales, developing functional synthetic turbines at the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Matthijs H. J. de Jong, Malte A. ten Wolde, Andrea Cupertino, Simon Gröblacher, Peter G. Steeneken | Summary: State-of-the-art nanomechanical resonators are heralded as a central component for next-generation clocks, filters, resonant sensors and quantum technologies. To practically build these technologies will require monolithic integration of microchips, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wolfgang Tittel | First 5 Authors: Tanmoy Chakraborty, Antariksha Das, Hedser van Brug, Oriol Pietx-Casas, Peng-Cheng Wang | Summary: Extended quantum networks are based on quantum repeaters that often rely on the distribution of entanglement in an efficient and heralded fashion over multiple network nodes. Many repeater architectures require multiplexed sources of entangled […]
