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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Sadra Rahimi Kari, Paolo Pintus, John E. Bowers, Matt Robbins, Nathan Youngblood | Summary: We present a compact, resonant-based coherent modulator on a thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform, addressing the growing demand for high-speed, energy-efficient modulators in modern telecommunications. The design incorporates Mach-Zehnder Interferometers (MZIs) with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Nissim Maruani, Wang Yifan, Matthew Fisher, Pierre Alliez, Mathieu Desbrun | Summary: This paper proposes ShapeShifter, a new 3D generative model that learns to synthesize shape variations based on a single reference model. While generative methods for 3D objects have recently attracted much attention, current techniques often […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Logan J. Prust, Gabriel Kumar, Lars Bildsten, , | Summary: Type Ia supernovae are triggered by accretion onto a white dwarf from a companion which is most likely Roche lobe-filling at the time of the explosion. The collision between the ejecta and a surviving companion carves out […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Sanghyun Son, Matheus Gadelha, Yang Zhou, Matthew Fisher, Zexiang Xu | Summary: Recent probabilistic methods for 3D triangular meshes capture diverse shapes by differentiable mesh connectivity, but face high computational costs with increased shape details. We introduce a new differentiable mesh processing method in 2D and 3D […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Yiming Pang, Joshua E. Castro, Trevor J. Steiner, Liao Duan, Noemi Tagliavacche | Summary: Integrated photonic microresonators have become an essential resource for generating photonic qubits for quantum information processing, entanglement distribution and networking, and quantum communications. The pair generation rate is enhanced by reducing the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Aditya Ganeshan, Thibault Groueix, Paul Guerrero, Radomír Měch, Matthew Fisher | Summary: Pattern images are everywhere in the digital and physical worlds, and tools to edit them are valuable. But editing pattern images is tricky: desired edits are often programmatic: structure-aware edits that alter the underlying program […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Stephen W. Yan, Diego Barberena, Matthew P. A. Fisher, Sagar Vijay, | Summary: We investigate a quantum dynamical phase transition induced by the competition between local unitary evolution and dissipation in a qubit chain with a strong, on-site $mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. While the steady-state of this […]
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 […]
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 […]
