Gyrotropic magnetic effect in metallic chiral magnets

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Nisarga Paul, Takamori Park, Jung Hoon Han, Leon Balents, | Summary: We study the gyrotropic magnetic effect (GME), the low-frequency limit of optical gyrotropy, in metals and semimetals coupled to chiral spin textures. In these systems, the chiral spin texture which lacks inversion symmetry can imprint itself […]

Thirty-six officers, artisanally entangled

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: David Gross, Paulina Goedicke, , , | Summary: A perfect tensor of order $d$ is a state of four $d$-level systems that is maximally entangled under any bipartition. These objects have attracted considerable attention in quantum information and many-body theory. Perfect tensors generalize the combinatorial notion of […]

Quantum geometry from the Moyal product: quantum kinetic equation and non-linear response

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Takamori Park, Xiaoyang Huang, Lucile Savary, Leon Balents, | Summary: We systematically derive the dissipationless quantum kinetic equation for a multi-band free fermionic system with U(1) symmetry. Using the Moyal product formalism, we fully band-diagonalize the dynamics. Expanding to the second order in gradients, which is beyond […]

Identifying Instabilities with Quantum Geometry in Flat Band Systems

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Jia-Xin Zhang, Wen O. Wang, Leon Balents, Lucile Savary, | Summary: The absence of a well-defined Fermi surface in flat-band systems challenges the conventional understanding of instabilities toward Landau order based on nesting. We investigate the existence of an intrinsic nesting structure encoded in the band geometry […]

How to Train Your Dragon: Automatic Diffusion-Based Rigging for Characters with Diverse Topologies

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Zeqi Gu, Difan Liu, Timothy Langlois, Matthew Fisher, Abe Davis | Summary: Recent diffusion-based methods have achieved impressive results on animating images of human subjects. However, most of that success has built on human-specific body pose representations and extensive training with labeled real videos. In this work, […]

Benchmarking of quantum and classical SDP relaxations for QUBO formulations of real-world logistics problems

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Birte Ostermann, Taylor Garnowski, Fabian Henze, Vaibhavnath Jha, Asra Dia | Summary: Quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problems (QUBOs) are intensively discussed in the realm of quantum computing and polynomial optimization. We provide a vast experimental study of semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations of QUBOs using sums of squares […]

Mean-Shift Distillation for Diffusion Mode Seeking

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Vikas Thamizharasan, Nikitas Chatzis, Iliyan Georgiev, Matthew Fisher, Difan Liu | Summary: We present mean-shift distillation, a novel diffusion distillation technique that provides a provably good proxy for the gradient of the diffusion output distribution. This is derived directly from mean-shift mode seeking on the distribution, and […]

Solving quadratic binary optimization problems using quantum SDP methods: Non-asymptotic running time analysis

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Fabian Henze, Viet Tran, Birte Ostermann, Richard Kueng, Timo de Wolff | Summary: Quantum computers can solve semidefinite programs (SDPs) using resources that scale better than state-of-the-art classical methods as a function of the problem dimension. At the same time, the known quantum algorithms scale very unfavorably […]

Active Solids: Defect Self-Propulsion Without Flow

Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Fridtjof Brauns, Myles O’Leary, Arthur Hernandez, Mark J. Bowick, M. Cristina Marchetti | Summary: The self-propulsion of +1/2 topological defects is a hallmark of active nematic fluids, where the defects are advected by the flow field they themselves generate. In this paper we propose a minimal […]
