Kavli Affiliate: Herre S. J. Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Martin Lee, Martin Robin, Ruben Guis, Ulderico Filippozzi, Dong Hoon Shin | Summary: Although 2D materials hold great potential for next-generation pressure sensors, recent studies revealed that gases permeate along the membrane-surface interface that is only weakly bound by van der Waals interactions, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Charles D. Brown, Shao-Wen Chang, Malte N. Schwarz, Tsz-Him Leung, Vladyslav Kozii | Summary: The band structure of a crystal may have points where two or more bands are degenerate in energy and where the geometry of the Bloch state manifold is singular, with consequences for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gijsje H. Koenderink | First 5 Authors: Iain Muntz, Michele Fenu, Gerjo J. V. M. van Osch, Gijsje H. Koenderink, | Summary: Living tissue is able to withstand large stresses in everyday life, yet it also actively adapts to dynamic loads. This remarkable mechanical behaviour emerges from the interplay between living cells and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Andrei Ruskuc, Chun-Ju Wu, Jake Rochman, Joonhee Choi, Andrei Faraon | Summary: Solid-state nuclear spins surrounding individual, optically addressable qubits provide a crucial resource for quantum networks, computation and simulation. While hosts with sparse nuclear spin baths are typically chosen to mitigate qubit decoherence, developing coherent quantum […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debdeep Jena | First 5 Authors: Megan Stokey, Rafal Korlacki, Matthew Hilfiker, Sean Knight, Steffen Richter | Summary: We determine the anisotropic dielectric functions of rhombohedral $alpha$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ by far-infrared and infrared generalized spectroscopic ellipsometry and derive all transverse optical and longitudinal optical phonon mode frequencies and broadening parameters. We also determine the high […]
Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Zeng-Zhao Li, Juan Atalaya, K. Birgitta Whaley, , | Summary: Topological quantum interference emerges from the interplay between quantum mechanics and topology. We present evidence for two types of such interference phenomenon that can result from the quantum dynamics of initial topological states. We realize both […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shmuel M. Rubinstein | First 5 Authors: Shruti Mishra, Shmuel M. Rubinstein, Chris H. Rycroft, , | Summary: The impact of a liquid drop on a solid surface involves many intertwined physical effects, and is influenced by drop velocity, surface tension, ambient pressure and liquid viscosity, among others. Experiments by Kolinski et al. […]
Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Nathan Ng, David T. Limmer, Eran Rabani, , | Summary: When deriving exact generalized master equations for the evolution of a reduced set of degrees of freedom, one is free to choose what quantities are relevant by specifying projection operators. However, obtaining a reduced description does […]
Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Yosep Kim, Alexis Morvan, Long B. Nguyen, Ravi K. Naik, Christian Jünger | Summary: The development of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices has extended the scope of executable quantum circuits with high-fidelity single- and two-qubit gates. Equipping NISQ devices with three-qubit gates will enable the realization of […]
