Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Lue Wu, Weiqiang Xie, Chao Xiang, Lin Chang, Yan Yu | Summary: Chip-integrated optical frequency combs are attractive optical sources in comb applications requiring high-repetition-rate, low power consumption, or compact size. Spontaneous soliton formation via Kerr parametric oscillation is a promising generation principle in these frequency […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Bolei Deng, Hang Shu, Jian Li, Chengyang Mo, Jordan R. Raney | Summary: In this letter we investigate the propagation of nonlinear pulses along the free surface of flexible metamaterials based on the rotating squares mechanism. While these metamaterials have previously been shown to support the propagation […]

Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Matthijs H. J. de Jong, Andrea Cupertino, Dongil Shin, Simon Gröblacher, Farbod Alijani | Summary: Mechanical resonators that possess coupled modes with harmonic frequency relations have recently sparked interest due to their suitability for controllable energy transfer and non-Hermitian dynamics. Here, we show coupling between high Q-factor […]
Kavli Affiliate: L. P. Kouwenhoven | First 5 Authors: N. van Loo, G. P. Mazur, T. Dvir, G. Wang, R. C. Dekker | Summary: The proximity effect in semiconductor-superconductor nanowires is expected to generate an induced gap in the semiconductor. The magnitude of this induced gap, together with the semiconductor properties like the spin-orbit coupling […]

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Philippe Lewalle, Leigh S. Martin, Emmanuel Flurin, Song Zhang, Eliya Blumenthal | Summary: The Zeno effect, in which repeated observation freezes the dynamics of a quantum system, stands as an iconic oddity of quantum mechanics. When a measurement is unable to distinguish between states in a subspace, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Qingzhen Wang, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf, Ivan Kulesh, Di Xiao, Candice Thomas | Summary: Cooper pairs occupy the ground state of typical s-wave superconductors and are composed of maximally entangled electrons with opposite spin. In order to study the spin and entanglement properties of these electrons, […]
