Kavli Affiliate: Naomi Ginsberg | First 5 Authors: Clarice D. Aiello, Andrea D. Pickel, Edward Barnard, Rebecca B. Wai, Christian Monachon | Summary: Crucial to analyze phenomena as varied as plasmonic hot spots and the spread of cancer in living tissue, nanoscale thermometry is challenging: probes are usually larger than the sample under study, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Pamela J. Bjorkman | First 5 Authors: Tal Einav, Shahrzad Yazdi, Aaron Coey, Pamela J. Bjorkman, Rob Phillips | Summary: Due to the low density of envelope (Env) spikes on the surface of HIV-1, neutralizing IgG antibodies rarely bind bivalently using both antigen-binding arms (Fabs) to crosslink between spikes (inter-spike crosslinking), instead resorting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. K. Rothemund | First 5 Authors: Ashwin Gopinath, Chris Thachuk, Anya Mitskovets, Harry A. Atwater, David Kirkpatrick | Summary: DNA origami is a modular platform for the combination of molecular and colloidal components to create optical, electronic, and biological devices. Integration of such nanoscale devices with microfabricated connectors and circuits is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ya M. Blanter | First 5 Authors: J. D. P. Machado, R. J. Slooter, Ya. M. Blanter, , | Summary: We analyze quantum effects occurring in optomechanical systems where the coupling between an optical mode and a mechanical mode is quadratic in displacement (membrane-in-the-middle geometry). We show that it is possible to observe […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brad Ramshaw | First 5 Authors: Laurel E Winter, Arkady Shekhter, Brad Ramshaw, Ryan E. Baumbach, Eric D. Bauer | Summary: Quantum materials are epitomized by the influence of collective modes upon their macroscopic properties. Relatively few examples exist, however, whereby coherence of the ground-state wavefunction directly contributes to the conductivity. Notable examples […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ya M. Blanter | First 5 Authors: J. D. P. Machado, Ya. M. Blanter, , , | Summary: Sideband asymmetry in cavity optomechanics has been explained by particle creation and annihilation processes, which bestow an amplitude proportional to ‘n+1’ and ‘n’ excitations to each of the respective sidebands. We discuss the issues with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak M. Parpia | First 5 Authors: Lev V. Levitin, Ben Yager, Laura Sumner, Brian Cowan, Andrew J. Casey | Summary: In superfluid $^3$He-B confined in a slab geometry, domain walls between regions of different order parameter orientation are predicted to be energetically stable. Formation of the spatially-modulated superfluid stripe phase has been […]
Kavli Affiliate: Keith Schwab | First 5 Authors: Zeeshan Ahmed, Yuri Alexeev, Giorgio Apollinari, Asimina Arvanitaki, David Awschalom | Summary: Report of the first workshop to identify approaches and techniques in the domain of quantum sensing that can be utilized by future High Energy Physics applications to further the scientific goals of High Energy Physics. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil R. Golwala | First 5 Authors: Fabien Defrance, Cecile Jung-Kubiak, Jack Sayers, Jake Connors, Clare deYoung | Summary: Although high-resistivity, low-loss silicon is an excellent material for THz transmission optics, its high refractive index necessitates antireflection treatment. We fabricated a wide-bandwidth, two-layer antireflection treatment by cutting subwavelength structures into the silicon surface […]
Kavli Affiliate: Julia R. Greer | First 5 Authors: Xiaoyue Ni, Haolu Zhang, Danilo B. Liarte, Louis W. McFaul, Karin A. Dahmen | Summary: The transition from elastic to plastic deformation in crystalline metals shares history dependence and scale-invariant avalanche signature with other non-equilibrium systems under external loading: dilute colloidal suspensions, plastically-deformed amorphous solids, granular […]
