Quadratic computations maintain neural specificity to natural stimuli across stages of visual processing

Kavli Affiliate: Tatyana Sharpee | Authors: Ryan J. Rowekamp and Tatyana Sharpee | Summary: Abstract Despite recent successes in machine vision, artificial recognition systems continue to be less robust than biological systems. The brittleness of artificial recognition system has been attributed to the linearity of the core operation that matches inputs to target patterns at […]

Radiation from Global Topological Strings using Adaptive Mesh Refinement: Massive Modes

Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: Amelia Drew, E. P. S. Shellard, , , | Summary: We implement adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) simulations of global topological strings using the public code, GRChombo. We perform a quantitative investigation of massive radiation from single sinusoidally displaced string configurations, studying a range of string […]

Soliton generation in AlGaAs microresonators at room temperature

Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Lue Wu, Weiqiang Xie, Chao Xiang, Lin Chang, Yan Yu | Summary: Chip-integrated optical frequency combs are attractive optical sources in comb applications requiring high-repetition-rate, low power consumption, or compact size. Spontaneous soliton formation via Kerr parametric oscillation is a promising generation principle in these frequency […]

Nonlinear waves at the free surface of flexible mechanical metamaterials

Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Bolei Deng, Hang Shu, Jian Li, Chengyang Mo, Jordan R. Raney | Summary: In this letter we investigate the propagation of nonlinear pulses along the free surface of flexible metamaterials based on the rotating squares mechanism. While these metamaterials have previously been shown to support the propagation […]
