Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Jingru Gan, Peichen Zhong, Yuanqi Du, Yanqiao Zhu, Chenru Duan | Summary: Crystal structure generation is fundamental to materials discovery, enabling the prediction of novel materials with desired properties. While existing approaches leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) through extensive fine-tuning on materials databases, we show that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Juntai Cao, Xiang Zhang, Raymond Li, Chuyuan Li, Shafiq Joty | Summary: Recent advances in test-time scaling have shown promising results in improving Large Language Models (LLMs) performance through strategic computation allocation during inference. While this approach has demonstrated strong performance improvements in logical and mathematical reasoning […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Álvaro G. Iñesta, Bethany Davies, Sounak Kar, Stephanie Wehner, | Summary: Entanglement buffers are systems that maintain high-quality entanglement, ensuring it is readily available for consumption when needed. In this work, we study the performance of a two-node buffer, where each node has one long-lived quantum memory […]
Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Moonkwang Jeon, Xiangzhou Tan, Felix Fischer, Tian Qiu, | Summary: Small-scale robots offer significant potential in minimally-invasive medical procedures. Due to the nature of soft biological tissues, however, robots are exposed to complex environments with various challenges in locomotion, which is essential to overcome for useful medical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Adam Celarek, George Kopanas, George Drettakis, Michael Wimmer, Bernhard Kerbl | Summary: Since its introduction, 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has become an important reference method for learning 3D representations of a captured scene, allowing real-time novel-view synthesis with high visual quality and fast training times. Neural Radiance […]
Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Chandrashekhar Savant, Thai-Son Nguyen, Kazuki Nomoto, Saurabh Vishwakarma, Siyuan Ma | Summary: We report a polarization-induced 2D electron gas (2DEG) at an epitaxial AlBN/GaN heterojunction grown on a SiC substrate. Using this 2DEG in a long conducting channel, we realize ultra-thin barrier AlBN/GaN high electron mobility transistors […]
Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Anand Ithepalli, Amit Rohan Rajapurohita, Arjan Singh, Rishabh Singh, John Wright | Summary: Two single crystal phases of tantalum nitride were stabilized on c-plane sapphire using molecular beam epitaxy. The phases were identified to be $delta$-TaN with a rocksalt cubic structure and $gamma$-Ta$_2$N with a hexagonal structure. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Chelsea Fox, Kyrillos Bastawros, Tommaso Magrini, Chiara Daraio, | Summary: Natural materials often feature a combination of soft and stiff phases, arranged to achieve excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and toughness. Many natural materials have even independently evolved to have similar structures to obtain these […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Azmain A. Hossain, Sela Murphy, David S. Catherall, Anthony J. Ardizzi, Austin J. Minnich | Summary: Niobium nitride (NbN) is a metallic superconductor that is widely used for superconducting electronics due to its high transition temperature ($T_c$) and kinetic inductance. Processing-induced damage negatively affects the performance […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Bart van der Vecht, Atak Talay Yücel, Hana Jirovská, Stephanie Wehner, | Summary: Recently, a first-of-its-kind operating system for programmable quantum network nodes was developed, called QNodeOS. Here, we present an extension of QNodeOS called Qoala, which introduces (1) a unified program format for hybrid interactive classical-quantum […]
