Fermionization and boundary states in 1+1 dimensions

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yoshiki Fukusumi, Yuji Tachikawa, Yunqin Zheng, , | Summary: In the last few years it was realized that every fermionic theory in 1+1 dimensions is a generalized Jordan-Wigner transform of a bosonic theory with a non-anomalous $mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. In this note we determine how the boundary states […]

Quantum Oscillations and the Quasiparticle Properties of Thin Film Sr$_2$RuO$_4$

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Yawen Fang, Hari P. Nair, Ludi Miao, Berit Goodge, Nathaniel J. Schreiber | Summary: We measure the Shubnikov-de Haas effect in thin-film Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ grown on an (LaAlO$_3$)$_{0.29}$-(SrAl$_{1/2}$Ta$_{1/2}$O$_3$)$_{0.71}$ (LSAT) substrate. We detect all three known Fermi surfaces and extract the Fermi surface volumes, cyclotron effective masses, and […]

Mutual Information Scaling for Tensor Network Machine Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Ian Convy, William Huggins, Haoran Liao, K. Birgitta Whaley, | Summary: Tensor networks have emerged as promising tools for machine learning, inspired by their widespread use as variational ansatze in quantum many-body physics. It is well known that the success of a given tensor network ansatz depends […]

PROBs and perverse sheaves I. Symmetric products

Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail Kapranov | First 5 Authors: Mikhail Kapranov, Vadim Schechtman, , , | Summary: Algebraic structures involving both multiplications and comultiplications (such as, e.g., bialgebras or Hopf algebras) can be encoded using PROPs (categories with PROducts and Permutations) of Adams and MacLane. To encode such structures on objects of a braided monoidal category, […]

Principles of Low Dissipation Computing from a Stochastic Circuit Model

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Chloe Ya Gao, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We introduce a thermodynamically consistent, minimal stochastic model for complementary logic gates built with field-effect transistors. We characterize the performance of such gates with tools from information theory and study the interplay between accuracy, speed, and […]

Approaching the motional ground state of a 10 kg object

Kavli Affiliate: Nergis Mavalvala | First 5 Authors: Chris Whittle, Evan D. Hall, Sheila Dwyer, Nergis Mavalvala, Vivishek Sudhir | Summary: The motion of a mechanical object — even a human-sized object — should be governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. Coaxing them into a quantum state is, however, difficult: the thermal environment masks […]

Discovery of Candidate X-ray Jets in High-Redshift Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Bradford Snios, Daniel A. Schwartz, Aneta Siemiginowska, MaƂgosia Sobolewska, Mark Birkinshaw | Summary: We present Chandra X-ray observations of 14 radio-loud quasars at redshifts $3 < z < 4$, selected from a well-defined sample. All quasars are detected in the 0.5-7.0 keV energy band, and resolved […]

Feebly-Interacting Particles:FIPs 2020 Workshop Report

Kavli Affiliate: Yevgeny Stadnik | First 5 Authors: Prateek Agrawal, Martin Bauer, James Beacham, Asher Berlin, Alexey Boyarsky | Summary: With the establishment and maturation of the experimental programs searching for new physics with sizeable couplings at the LHC, there is an increasing interest in the broader particle and astrophysics community for exploring the physics […]

Conformal maps in higher dimensions and derived geometry

Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail Kapranov | First 5 Authors: Mikhail Kapranov, , , , | Summary: By Liouville’s theorem, in dimensions 3 or more conformal transformations form a finite-dimensional group, an apparent drastic departure from the 2-dimensional case. We propose a derived enhancement of the conformal Lie algebra which is an infinite-dimensional dg-Lie algebra incorporating not […]
