Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Giordano Scappucci, Christoph Kloeffel, Floris A. 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: Hector D. Abruna | 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 system noteworthy from a fundamental standpoint. However, little is known about the detailed nature of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Fuchun Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yi Zhang, Kun Jiang, Fuchun Zhang, Jian Wang, Ziqiang Wang | Summary: Topological superconductors (TSCs) are correlated quantum states with simultaneous off-diagonal long-range order and nontrivial topological invariants. They produce gapless or zero energy boundary excitations, including Majorana zero modes and chiral Majorana edge states with topologically […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xinan Zhou | First 5 Authors: Nadav Drukker, Simone Giombi, Arkady A. Tseytlin, Xinan Zhou, | Summary: Surface operators in the 6d (2,0) theory at large $N$ have a holographic description in terms of M2 branes probing the AdS$_7 times S^4$ M-theory background. The most symmetric, 1/2-BPS, operator is defined over a planar […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Gang Liu, Jing Wang, , , | Summary: The simulation of biological dendrite computations is vital for the development of artificial intelligence (AI). This paper presents a basic machine learning algorithm, named Dendrite Net or DD, just like Support Vector Machine (SVM) or Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). DD’s […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sol M. Gruner | First 5 Authors: Hugh T. Philipp, Mark W. Tate, Katherine S. Shanks, Prafull Purohit, Sol M. Gruner | Summary: A hard x-ray, high-speed, high dynamic range scientific x-ray imager is described. The imager is based on the mixed-mode pixel array detector (MM-PAD) readout chip coupled to a 750 micron […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sol M. Gruner | Summary:A hard x-ray, high-speed, high dynamic range scientific x-ray imager is described. The imager is based on the mixed-mode pixel array detector (MM-PAD) readout chip coupled to a 750 micron thick cadmium telluride (CdTe) sensor. The full imager is a 2 x 3 tiled array of MM-PAD sensor/readout chip […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Wiesner | Summary:Over the past two decades, metamaterials have led to an increasing number of biosensing and nanophotonic applications due to the possibility of a careful control of light propagating through subwavelength features. Chiral nanostructures (characterized by the absence of any mirror symmetry), in particular, give rise to unique chiro-optical properties such […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexey Bondal | First 5 Authors: Agnieszka Bodzenta, Alexey Bondal, , , | Summary: We define the functor $textrm{ncDef}_{(Z_1,ldots,Z_n)}$ of non-commutative deformations of an $n$-tuple of objects in an arbitrary $k$-linear abelian category $mathcal{Z}$. In our categorified approach, we view the underlying spaces of infinitesimal flat deformations as Deligne finite categories, i.e. finite […]
