Kavli Affiliate: Nelson Darkwah Oppong| Summary:Optical tweezer arrays trapping ultracold atoms and molecules are a versatile quantum science platform with broad impact in quantum simulation, quantum computation, and quantum metrology. The polarization dependence of anisotropic vector and tensor light shifts offers a degree of freedom for precise quantum state engineering of trapped particles. Similarly, state-selective […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Large language model (LLM) coding agents have advanced test generation across diverse programming tasks. However, the common practice of evaluating tests against a single reference solution overlooks alternative valid implementations and can overstate test quality. We introduce TestPrism, comprising 300 test tasks from 17 sources and 3000 candidate implementations, evenly split […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Hsieh| Summary:High harmonic generation (HHG) has emerged as a powerful probe of ultrafast electron dynamics in solids. However, in strongly correlated materials, where electronic excitations arise from many-body interactions rather than single-particle band dispersion, the field remains in its infancy. Here, we report HHG up to the 23$^rd$ order in the prototypical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | Summary:Extra spatial dimensions arise naturally in theories beyond four-dimensional general relativity (GR), but direct observational evidence remains elusive. Gravitational waves offer a distinctive probe: geometric projection onto the observable three-dimensional spatial subspace can produce apparent tensor, vector, and scalar polarizations. We consider one additional spatial dimension and a two-mode tensor-wave […]
Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | Summary:An outstanding challenge in superconducting quantum circuits is mitigating loss from two-level system (TLS) defects. SWAP spectroscopy with flux-tunable qubits can detect individual TLSs, but the Rabi chevrons that signal coherent exchange have been observed only for the most strongly coupled defects. Here, we introduce a sequence with fast flux […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | Summary:Galaxies with stellar masses $M_star<10^8~M_odot$, hereafter referred to as extreme dwarf galaxies (EDGs), represent one of the least explored regimes in the search for accreting intermediate-mass black holes. Using the recent Vera C. Rubin Observatory Data Preview 2 (DP2; covering 2025-04-25 to 2026-01-06), we present the first systematic search for […]
