Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Jingkun Guo, Simon Gröblacher, , , | Summary: Preparing macroscopic mechanical resonators close to their motional quantum groundstate and generating entanglement with light offers great opportunities in studying fundamental physics and in developing a new generation of quantum applications. Here we propose an experimentally interesting scheme, which […]
Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Xueyue Zhang, Eunjong Kim, Daniel K. Mark, Soonwon Choi, Oskar Painter | Summary: Synthesis of many-body quantum systems in the laboratory can provide further insight into the emergent behavior of quantum materials. While the majority of engineerable many-body systems, or quantum simulators, consist of particles on a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Farhan Rana | First 5 Authors: Yifei Geng, Jialun Luo, Len van Deurzen, Huili, Xing | Summary: Single-photon emitters (SPEs) in technologically mature wide bandgap semiconductors are attractive for realizing integrated platforms for quantum applications. We investigate single-photon emitters in GaN. GaN hosts bright and stable single-photon emitters in the 600 nm to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Qiuxin Zhang, Chenhao Zhu, Yuxin Wang, Liangyu Ding, Tingting Shi | Summary: Exploring quantum phenomena beyond predictions of any classical model has fundamental importance to understand the boundary of classical and quantum descriptions of nature. As a typical property that a quantum system behaves distinctively from a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Amnon Yariv | First 5 Authors: Du Ran, Bin Zhang, Reuven Ianconescu, Aharon Friedman, Jacob Scheuer | Summary: We present a fully quantum model for the excitation of a bound electron based on the free-electron bound-electron resonant interaction (FEBERI) scheme. The bound electron is modeled as a quantum two-level system (TLS) at any […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Hamidreza Akbari, Souvik Biswas, Pankaj K. Jha, Joeson Wong, Benjamin Vest | Summary: Color centered-based single photon emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) have shown promising photophysical properties as sources for quantum light emission. Despite significant advances towards such a goal, achieving lifetime-limited quantum light emission […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Rachel Woods-Robinson, Matthew K. Horton, Kristin A. Persson, , | Summary: Conventionally, high-throughput computational materials searches start from an input set of bulk compounds extracted from material databases, and this set is screened for candidate materials for specific applications. In contrast, many functional materials, and especially […]

Kavli Affiliate: Shmuel M. Rubinstein | First 5 Authors: Will Steinhardt, Shmuel M. Rubinstein, , , | Summary: Fractures are a critical process in how materials wear, weaken, and fail whose unpredictable behavior can have dire consequences. While the behavior of smooth cracks in ideal materials is well understood, it is assumed that for real, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alex Zettl | First 5 Authors: Philipp M Pelz, Sinead Griffin, Scott Stonemeyer, Derek Popple, Hannah Devyldere | Summary: Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a potent technique for the determination of three-dimensional atomic scale structure of samples in structural biology and materials science. In structural biology, three-dimensional structures of proteins are routinely determined […]
