Entangled Photon Correlations Allow a Continuous-Wave Laser Diode to Measure Single Photon, Time-Resolved Fluorescence

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Scott K. Cushing | First 5 Authors: Nathan Harper, Bryce P. Hickam, Manni He, Scott K. Cushing, | Summary: Fluorescence lifetime experiments are a standard approach for measuring excited state dynamics and local environment effects. Here, we show that entangled photon pairs produced from a continuous-wave (CW) laser diode can replicate pulsed laser […]

Kähler-Ricci flow on $mathbf G$-spherical Fano manifolds

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Xiaohua Zhu | Summary: We prove that the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of K”ahler-Ricci flow on a $mathbf G$-spherical Fano manifold $X$ is a $mathbf G$-spherical $mathbb Q$-Fano variety $X_{infty}$, which admits a (singular) K”ahler-Ricci soliton. Moreover, the $mathbf G$-spherical variety structure of $X_{infty}$ can be constructed […]

Zonal flows and reversals of cortically confined active suspensions

Posted by klaurent Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: J. S. Yodh, F. Giardina, S. Gokhale, L. Mahadevan, | Summary: At sufficiently high concentrations, motile bacteria suspended in fluids exhibit a range of ordered and disordered collective motions. Here we explore the combined effects of confinement, periodicity and curvature induced by the active motion of E. […]

Engineering cubic quantum nondemolition Hamiltonian with mesoscopic optical parametric interactions

Posted by Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Ryotatsu Yanagimoto, Rajveer Nehra, Edwin Ng, Alireza Marandi, Hideo Mabuchi | Summary: We propose a scheme to realize cubic quantum nondemolition (QND) Hamiltonian with optical parametric interactions. We show that strongly squeezed fundamental and second harmonic fields propagating in a $chi^{(2)}$ nonlinear medium effectively evolve under a […]

Cross-view Action Recognition via Contrastive View-invariant Representation

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Dan Luo | First 5 Authors: Yuexi Zhang, Dan Luo, Balaji Sundareshan, Octavia Camps, Mario Sznaier | Summary: Cross view action recognition (CVAR) seeks to recognize a human action when observed from a previously unseen viewpoint. This is a challenging problem since the appearance of an action changes significantly with the viewpoint. Applications […]
