Kavli Affiliate: Eliska Greplova | First 5 Authors: D. O. Oriekhov, Guliuxin Jin, Eliska Greplova, , | Summary: We study the dynamical localization of discrete time evolution of topological split-step quantum random walk (QRW) on a single-site defect starting from a uniform distribution. Using analytical and numerical calculations, we determine the high localization probability regions […]
Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Natalia Chepiga, , , , | Summary: We explore the universal signatures of quantum phase transitions that can be extracted with the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm applied to quantum chains with a gradient. We present high-quality data collapses for the order parameter and for the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Sameer Sonar, Utku Hatipoglu, Srujan Meesala, David Lake, Hengjiang Ren | Summary: Optomechanical crystals (OMCs) enable coherent interactions between optical photons and microwave acoustic phonons, and represent a platform for implementing quantum transduction between microwave and optical signals. Optical absorption-induced thermal noise at cryogenic (millikelvin) temperatures is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | First 5 Authors: Yang Zhang, Joshua Olick-Gibson, Karteekeya Sastry, Lihong V. Wang, | Summary: Optical imaging of blood flow yields critical functional insights into the circulatory system, but its clinical implementation has typically been limited to shallow depths (~1 millimeter) due to light scattering in biological tissue. Here, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Shreyansh Pitroda, Aditya Bondada, Kaushik Venkatesh Krishnamurthy, Adarsh Salagame, Chenghao Wang | Summary: Despite major advancements in control design that are robust to unplanned disturbances, bipedal robots are still susceptible to falling over and struggle to negotiate rough terrains. By utilizing thrusters in our bipedal robot, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Neelay Fruitwala, Akel Hashim, Abhi D. Rajagopala, Yilun Xu, Jordan Hines | Summary: Randomized compiling (RC) is an efficient method for tailoring arbitrary Markovian errors into stochastic Pauli channels. However, the standard procedure for implementing the protocol in software comes with a large experimental overhead — namely, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Zhawnen Chen, Tianchun Wang, Yizhou Wang, Michal Kosinski, Xiang Zhang | Summary: Can large multimodal models have a human-like ability for emotional and social reasoning, and if so, how does it work? Recent research has discovered emergent theory-of-mind (ToM) reasoning capabilities in large language models (LLMs). LLMs […]
Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Yipei Zhang, Philippe Lewalle, K. Birgitta Whaley, , | Summary: We generalize the projection-based quantum measurement-driven $k$-SAT algorithm of Benjamin, Zhao, and Fitzsimons (BZF, arxiv:1711.02687) to arbitrary strength quantum measurements, including the limit of continuous monitoring. In doing so, we clarify that this algorithm is a particular […]
Kavli Affiliate: James J. Bock | First 5 Authors: Matthew A. Petroff, Zeeshan Ahmed, James J. Bock, Marion Dierickx, Sofia Fatigoni | Summary: The search for the polarized imprint of primordial gravitational waves in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as direct evidence of cosmic inflation requires exquisite sensitivity and control over systematics. The next-generation CMB-S4 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Kaushik Venkatesh Krishnamurthy, Chenghao Wang, Shreyansh Pitroda, Adarsh Salagame, Eric Sihite | Summary: In this study, our aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of thruster-assisted steep slope walking for the Husky Carbon, a quadrupedal robot equipped with custom-designed actuators and plural electric ducted fans, through simulation prior […]
