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: 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: 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: Jos Zwanikken | 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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Alberto Tosato, Davide Degli Esposti, Davide Costa, Menno Veldhorst | Summary: We grow strained Ge/SiGe heterostructures by reduced-pressure chemical vapor deposition on 100 mm Ge wafers. The use of Ge wafers as substrates for epitaxy enables high-quality Ge-rich SiGe strain-relaxed buffers with a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wolfgang Tittel | First 5 Authors: Yong Yu, Dorian Oser, Gaia Da Prato, Emanuele Urbinati, Javier Carrasco Ávila | Summary: Single quantum emitters embedded in solid-state hosts are an ideal platform for realizing quantum information processors and quantum network nodes. Among the currently-investigated candidates, Er$^{3+}$ ions are particularly appealing due to their 1.5 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gary A. Steele | First 5 Authors: Byoung-moo Ann, Gary A. Steele, , , | Summary: It is known that the quantum nature of the electromagnetic vacuum is responsible for the Lamb shift, which is a crucial phenomenon in quantum electrodynamics (QED). In circuit QED, the readout or bus resonators that are dispersively […]
