A hybrid quantum photonic interface for $^{171}$Yb solid-state qubits

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Chun-Ju Wu, Daniel Riedel, Andrei Ruskuc, Ding Zhong, Hyounghan Kwon | Summary: $^{171}$Yb$^{3+}$ in YVO$_4$ is a promising candidate for building quantum networks with good optical addressability, excellent spin properties and a secondary nuclear-spin quantum register. However, the associated long optical lifetime necessitates coupling to optical resonators […]

Fusion protocol for Majorana modes in coupled quantum dots

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Chun-Xiao Liu, Haining Pan, F. Setiawan, Michael Wimmer, Jay D. Sau | Summary: In a recent breakthrough experiment (arXiv:2206.08045), Majorana zero modes have been observed in tunnel spectroscopy for a minimal Kitaev chain constructed from coupled quantum dots. However, as Ising anyons, Majoranas’ most fundamental property of […]

Unclearing Microscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Joerg Bewersdorf | Authors: Ons M’Saad, Michael Shribak and Joerg Bewersdorf | Summary: Abstract The spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity of the human eye is limited, restricting our ability to directly see subcellular structures. We report a new principle for unaided eye cellular visualization in a method we call Unclearing Microscopy. By expanding […]

Optical Refrigeration for an Optomechanical Amplifier

Kavli Affiliate: Rana X. Adhikari | First 5 Authors: Samuel Schulz, Yehonathan Drori, Christopher Wipf, Rana X Adhikari, | Summary: We explore the viability of using optical refrigeration as a low-vibration cooling method for a phase-sensitive optomechanical amplifier proposed to improve the sensitivity of future gravitational wave detectors. We find that with moderate improvements on […]

A New Component from the Quiet Sun: Synchrotron Radiation from Galactic Cosmic-Ray Electrons

Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: The quiet Sun, i.e. in its non-flaring state or non-flaring regions, emits thermal radiation from radio to ultraviolet. The quiet Sun produces also non-thermal radiation observed in gamma rays due to interactions of Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) with the solar gas […]
