Zwanenburg, Daniel Loss, Maksym Myronov | Summary: In the worldwide endeavor for disruptive quantum technologies, germanium is emerging as a versatile material to realize devices capable of encoding, processing, or transmitting quantum information. These devices leverage special properties of the germanium […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hector D. Abruna | First 5 Authors: Matej Velicky, Alvaro Rodriguez, Milan Bousa, Andrey V. Krayev, Martin Vondracek | Summary: Gold-mediated exfoliation of MoS2 has attracted considerable interest in the recent years. A strong interaction between MoS2 and Au facilitates preferential production of centimeter-sized monolayer MoS2 with near-unity yield and provides a heterostructure […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Amir Arbabi, Ehsan Arbabi, Mahdad Mansouree, Seunghoon Han, Seyedeh Mahsa Kamali | Summary: One of the important advantages of optical metasurfaces over conventional diffractive optical elements is their capability to efficiently deflect light by large angles. However, metasurfaces are conventionally designed using approaches that are optimal for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Mohammad Mirhosseini, Alp Sipahigil, Mahmoud Kalaee, Oskar Painter, | Summary: Bidirectional conversion of electrical and optical signals lies at the foundation of the global internet. Such converters are employed at repeater stations to extend the reach of long-haul fiber optic communication systems and within data centers to […]
