Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of erasure with superconducting flux logic

Kavli Affiliate: Michael L. Roukes | First 5 Authors: Olli-Pentti Saira, Matthew H. Matheny, Raj Katti, Warren Fon, Gregory Wimsatt | Summary: We implement a thermal-fluctuation driven logical bit reset on a superconducting flux logic cell. We show that the logical state of the system can be continuously monitored with only a small perturbation to […]

Investigating the Complex Velocity Structures within Dense Molecular Cloud Cores with GBT-Argus

Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Church | First 5 Authors: Che-Yu Chen, Shaye Storm, Zhi-Yun Li, Lee G. Mundy, David Frayer | Summary: We present the first results of high-spectral resolution (0.023 km/s) N$_2$H$^+$ observations of dense gas dynamics at core scales (~0.01 pc) using the recently commissioned Argus instrument on the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). While […]

Tests of the Standard Model at the International Linear Collider

Kavli Affiliate: Mihoko Nojiri | First 5 Authors: Keisuke Fujii, Christophe Grojean, Michael E. Peskin, Tim Barklow, Yaunning Gao | Summary: We present an overview of the capabilities that the International Linear Collider (ILC) offers for precision measurements that probe the Standard Model. First, we discuss the improvements that the ILC will make in precision […]

Dissipation-enabled hydrodynamic conductivity in a tunable bandgap semiconductor

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. McEuen | First 5 Authors: Cheng Tan, Derek Y. H. Ho, Lei Wang, J. I. A. Li, Indra Yudhistira | Summary: Electronic transport in the regime where carrier-carrier collisions are the dominant scattering mechanism has taken on new relevance with the advent of ultraclean two-dimensional materials. Here we present a combined […]

Independence Testing for Temporal Data

Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Cencheng Shen, Jaewon Chung, Ronak Mehta, Ting Xu, Joshua T. Vogelstein | Summary: Temporal data are increasingly prevalent in modern data science. A fundamental question is whether two time-series are related or not. Existing approaches often have limitations, such as relying on parametric assumptions, detecting only linear […]

MFB: A Mid-Frequency-Band Space Gravitational Wave Observer for the 2020 Decade

Kavli Affiliate: Peter F. Michelson | First 5 Authors: Peter F. Michelson, Robert L. Byer, Sasha Buchman, Ilya Mandel, John Lipa | Summary: We make the case for the early development of a Mid-Frequency-Band (MFB) gravitational wave (GW) observatory in geosynchronous orbit (73,000 km arm), optimized for the frequency band 10 mHz to 1 Hz. […]

Characterisation of the Particle-Induced Background of XMM-Newton EPIC-pn: Short and Long Term Variability

Kavli Affiliate: Catherine Grant | First 5 Authors: Esra Bulbul, Ralph Kraft, Paul Nulsen, Michael Freyberg, Eric D. Miller | Summary: The particle-induced background of X-ray observatories is produced by Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) primary protons, electrons, and He ions. Events due to direct interaction with the detector are usually removed by on board processing. […]
