Kavli Affiliate: Shmuel M. Rubinstein | First 5 Authors: Anais Abramian, Emmanuel Virot, Emilio Lozano, Shmuel M. Rubinstein, Tobias M. Schneider | Summary: From soda cans to space rockets, thin-walled cylindrical shells are abundant, offering exceptional load carrying capacity at relatively low weight. However, the actual load at which any shell buckles and collapses is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nelson Darkwah Oppong| Summary:Constraints in the dynamics of quantum many-body systems can dramatically alter transport properties and relaxation timescales even in the absence of static disorder. Here, we report on the observation of such constrained dynamics arising from the distinct mobility of two species in the one-dimensional mass-imbalanced Fermi-Hubbard model, realized with ultracold […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Pasquale Cilibrizzi, Xiaoze Liu, Peiyao Zhang, Chenzhe Wang, Quanwei Li | Summary: The newly discovered valley degree of freedom in atomically thin two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides offers a promising platform to explore rich nonlinear physics, such as spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and novel valleytronics applications. However, the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Molly Stevens | Summary:There is a growing trend in molecular and synthetic biology of using mechanistic (non machine learning) models to design biomolecular networks. Once designed, these networks need to be validated by experimental results to ensure the theoretical network correctly models the true system. However, these experiments can be expensive and time […]
Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: William J. Huggins, Sam McArdle, Thomas E. O’Brien, Joonho Lee, Nicholas C. Rubin | Summary: Contemporary quantum computers have relatively high levels of noise, making it difficult to use them to perform useful calculations, even with a large number of qubits. Quantum error correction is expected […]
Kavli Affiliate: Graham R. Fleming | First 5 Authors: Akihito Ishizaki, Graham R. Fleming, , , | Summary: Giant strides in ultrashort laser pulse technology have enabled real-time observation of dynamical processes in complex molecular systems. Specifically, the discovery of oscillatory transients in the two-dimensional electronic spectra of photosynthetic systems stimulated a number of theoretical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Graham Fleming | Summary:Giant strides in ultrashort laser pulse technology have enabled real-time observation of dynamical processes in complex molecular systems. Specifically, the discovery of oscillatory transients in the two-dimensional electronic spectra of photosynthetic systems stimulated a number of theoretical investigations exploring possible physical mechanisms of the remarkable quantum efficiency of light harvesting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Kirsti Pajunen, Paolo Celli, Chiara Daraio, , | Summary: In this letter, we provide experimental evidence of bandgap tunability with global prestrain in additively-manufactured tensegrity-inspired lattice structures. These lattices are extremely lightweight and designed to exhibit a nonlinear compressive response that mimics that of a tensegrity structure. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Amnon Yariv | First 5 Authors: Avraham Gover, Bin Zhang, Du Ran, Reuven Ianconescu, Aharon Friedman | Summary: Free-Electron Bound-Electron Resonant Interaction (FEBERI) is the resonant inelastic interaction of periodically density-bunched free electrons with a quantum two level system. We present a comprehensive relativistic quantum mechanical theory for this interaction in a model […]
