Kavli Affiliate: Ankit Disa | First 5 Authors: Ankit S. Disa, Alexandru B. Georgescu, James L. Hart, Divine P. Kumah, Padraic Shafer | Summary: The combination of charge and spin degrees of freedom with electronic correlations in condensed matter systems leads to a rich array of phenomena, such as magnetism, superconductivity, and novel conduction mechanisms. […]
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: Nathan Lewis | First 5 Authors: N. K. Lewis, P. J. Durham, W. R. Flavell, E. A. Seddon, | Summary: Two-dimensional hexagonal and oblique lattices were investigated theoretically with the aim of observing differences in the spin expectation values between chiral and achiral systems. The spinresolved band structures were derived from the energy […]
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 […]
