Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Shixin Xue, Mingxiao Li, Raymond Lopez-rios, Jingwei Ling, Zhengdong Gao | Summary: The invention of the laser unleashed the potential of optical metrology, leading to numerous advancements in modern science and technology. This reliance on lasers, however, also sets a bottleneck for precision optical metrology which […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Rimika Jaiswal, Izabella Lovas, Leon Balents, , | Summary: We propose a variational approach to explore quasiparticle excitations in interacting quantum many-body systems, motivated by the potential in leveraging near-term noisy intermediate scale quantum devices for quantum state preparation. By exploiting translation invariance and potentially other abelian […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Ren-Bo Wang, Naveen Nishad, Anna Keselman, Leon Balents, Oleg A. Starykh | Summary: We present the theory of the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect between a Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain and a conductor. The effect consists of the generation of a spin current across the spin chain-conductor interface in […]

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Bin Gao, Tong Chen, Chunxiao Liu, Mason L. Klemm, Shu Zhang | Summary: In magnetically ordered insulators, elementary quasiparticles manifest as spin waves – collective motions of localized magnetic moments propagating through the lattice – observed via inelastic neutron scattering. In effective spin-1/2 systems where geometric frustrations […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Bowick | First 5 Authors: John Berezney, Sattvic Ray, Itamar Kolvin, Mark Bowick, Seth Fraden | Summary: We use the chaotic flows generated by a microtubule-based active fluid to assemble self-binding actin filaments into a thin elastic sheets. Starting from a uniformly dispersed state, active flows drive the motion of actin filaments, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Tin Long Sunny Wong, Christopher White, Lars Bildsten, , | Summary: Type Ia supernovae arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs accreting from a binary companion. Following the explosion, the surviving donor star leaves at roughly its orbital velocity. The discovery of the runaway helium subdwarf star […]

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Osama Terra, Warren Jin, Hussein Kotb, Joel Guo, John E. Bowers | Summary: Swept laser interferometry is an extremely powerful solution embedded in several recent technologies such as absolute distance measurement, light detection and ranging, optical frequency domain reflectometry, optical coherence tomography, microresonator characterization, and gas […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Joshua E. Castro, Eber Nolasco-Martinez, Paolo Pintus, Zeyu Zhang, Boqiang Shen | Summary: In the last decade, remarkable advances in integrated photonic technologies have enabled table-top experiments and instrumentation to be scaled down to compact chips with significant reduction in size, weight, power consumption, and cost.
