Kavli Affiliate: Herre S. J. Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Makars Šiškins, Ekaterina Sokolovskaya, Martin Lee, Samuel Mañas-Valero, Dejan Davidovikj | Summary: Coupled nanomechanical resonators made of two-dimensional materials are promising for processing information with mechanical modes. However, the challenge for these types of systems is to control the coupling. Here, we demonstrate […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Hanson | First 5 Authors: Weiqi Ji, Xingyu Su, Bin Pang, Sean Joseph Cassady, Alison M. Ferris | Summary: Combustion kinetic modeling is an integral part of combustion simulation, and extensive studies have been devoted to developing both high fidelity and computationally affordable models. Despite these efforts, modeling combustion kinetics is still […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea D. Caviglia | First 5 Authors: Nicola Manca, Giordano Mattoni, Marco Pelassa, Warner J. Venstra, Herre S. J. van der Zant | Summary: Strain engineering is one of the most effective approaches to manipulate the physical state of materials, control their electronic properties, and enable crucial functionalities. Because of their rich phase […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wolfgang Tittel | First 5 Authors: Mohsen Falamarzi Askarani, Antariksha Das, Jacob H. Davidson, Gustavo C. Amaral, Neil Sinclair | Summary: We argue that long optical storage times are required to establish entanglement at high rates over large distances using memory-based quantum repeaters. Triggered by this conclusion, we investigate the $^3$H$_6$ $leftrightarrow$ $^3$H$_4$ […]

Kavli Affiliate: Toeno Van Der Sar | First 5 Authors: Iacopo Bertelli, Brecht G. Simon, Tao Yu, Jan Aarts, Gerrit E. W. Bauer | Summary: Spin waves in magnetic insulators are low-damping signal carriers that could enable a new generation of spintronic devices. The excitation, control, and detection of spin waves by metal electrodes is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Christian M. Moehle, Chung Ting Ke, Qingzhen Wang, Candice Thomas, Di Xiao | Summary: Topological superconductivity can be engineered in semiconductors with strong spin-orbit interaction coupled to a superconductor. Experimental advances in this field have often been triggered by the development of new hybrid material systems. Among […]

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Natalia Chepiga, Jiří Minář, Kareljan Schoutens, , | Summary: Supersymmetric lattice models of constrained fermions are known to feature exotic phenomena such as superfrustration, with an extensive degeneracy of ground states, the nature of which is however generally unknown. Here we address this issue by considering a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Hanson | First 5 Authors: Maximilian Ruf, Noel H. Wan, Hyeongrak Choi, Dirk Englund, Ronald Hanson | Summary: With the ability to transfer and process quantum information, large-scale quantum networks will enable a suite of fundamentally new applications, from quantum communications to distributed sensing, metrology, and computing. This perspective reviews requirements for […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: André Melo, Valla Fatemi, Anton R. Akhmerov, , | Summary: The multi-terminal Josephson effect allows DC supercurrent to flow at finite commensurate voltages. Existing proposals to realize this effect rely on nonlocal Andreev processes in superconductor-normal-superconductor junctions. However, this approach requires precise control over microscopic states […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Pablo M. Perez-Piskunow, Nicandro Bovenzi, Anton R. Akhmerov, Maxim Breitkreiz, | Summary: In Weyl semimetals the application of parallel electric and magnetic fields leads to valley polarization — an occupation disbalance of valleys of opposite chirality — a direct consequence of the chiral anomaly. In this […]
