Asymmetric node placement in fiber-based quantum networks

Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Guus Avis, Robert Knegjens, Anders S. Sørensen, Stephanie Wehner, | Summary: Restrictions imposed by existing infrastructure can make it hard to ensure an even spacing between the nodes of future fiber-based quantum networks. We here investigate the negative effects of asymmetric node placement by considering separately the […]

Breakdown of helical edge state topologically protected conductance in time-reversal-breaking excitonic insulators

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Yan-Qi Wang, Michał Papaj, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: Gapless helical edge modes are a hallmark of the quantum spin Hall effect. Protected by time-reversal symmetry, each edge contributes a quantized zero-temperature conductance quantum $G_0 equiv e^2/h$. However, the experimentally observed conductance in WTe$_2$ decreases […]

A Conditional Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model for Radio Interferometric Image Reconstruction

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors:Ruoqi Wang, Zhuoyang Chen, Qiong Luo, Feng Wang | Summary: In radio astronomy, signals from radio telescopes are transformed into images of observed celestial objects, or sources. However, these images, called dirty images, contain real sources as well as artifacts due to signal sparsity and other factors. Therefore, […]
