Continuous measurement of a qudit using dispersively coupled radiation

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: John Steinmetz, Debmalya Das, Irfan Siddiqi, Andrew N. Jordan, | Summary: We analyze the continuous monitoring of a qudit coupled to a cavity using both phase-preserving and phase-sensitive amplification. The quantum trajectories of the system are described by a stochastic master equation, for which we derive the […]

Spatiotemporal Crossover between Low- and High-Temperature Dynamical Regimes in the Quantum Heisenberg Magnet

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Maxime Dupont, Nicholas E. Sherman, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: The stranglehold of low temperatures on fascinating quantum phenomena in one-dimensional quantum magnets has been challenged recently by the discovery of anomalous spin transport at high temperatures. Whereas both regimes have been investigated separately, no […]

Multiplet supercurrent in Josephson tunneling circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: André Melo, Valla Fatemi, Anton R. Akhmerov, , | Summary: The multi-terminal Josephson effect allows DC supercurrent to flow at finite commensurate voltages. Existing proposals to realize this effect rely on nonlocal Andreev processes in superconductor-normal-superconductor junctions. However, this approach requires precise control over microscopic states […]

Chiral Anomaly Trapped in Weyl Metals: Nonequilibrium Valley Polarization at Zero Magnetic Field

Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Pablo M. Perez-Piskunow, Nicandro Bovenzi, Anton R. Akhmerov, Maxim Breitkreiz, | Summary: In Weyl semimetals the application of parallel electric and magnetic fields leads to valley polarization — an occupation disbalance of valleys of opposite chirality — a direct consequence of the chiral anomaly. In this […]

Distinct chemistries explain decoupling of slip and wettability in atomically smooth aqueous interfaces

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Anthony R. Poggioli, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: Despite essentially identical crystallography and equilibrium structuring of water, nanoscopic channels composed of hexagonal boron nitride and graphite exhibit an order-of-magnitude difference in fluid slip. We investigate this difference using molecular dynamics simulations, demonstrating that its […]
