A photonic integrated circuit for heterogeneous second harmonic generation

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Theodore J. Morin, Mingxiao Li, Federico Camponeschi, Hou Xiong, Deven Tseng | Summary: Heterogeneous integration of GaAs-based lasers with frequency doubling waveguides presents a clear path to scalable coherent sources in the so-called green gap, yet frequency doubling systems have so far relied on separately manufactured […]

A solvable model for strongly interacting nonequilibrium excitons

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Zhenhao Song, Tessa Cookmeyer, Leon Balents, , | Summary: We study the driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard model with all-to-all hopping and subject to incoherent pumping and decay, as is naturally probed in several recent experiments on excitons in WS2/WSe2 moir’e systems, as well as quantum simulators. By positing a […]

Postselection in lattice bosons undergoing continuous measurements

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Diego Barberena, Matthew P. A. Fisher, , , | Summary: We study in detail the postselection problem in a specific model: bosons hopping on a lattice subjected to continuous local measurements of quadrature observables. We solve the model analytically and show that the postselection overhead […]
