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. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Viraj R. Karambelkar, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Patrick Tisserand, Shreya Anand, Michael C. B. Ashley | Summary: We present results from a systematic infrared (IR) census of R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars in the Milky Way, using data from the Palomar Gattini IR (PGIR) survey. R Coronae Borealis […]

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Jacob Hauser, Yimu Bao, Shengqi Sang, Ali Lavasani, Utkarsh Agrawal | Summary: Measurements can detect errors in a decohered quantum memory allowing active error correction to increase the memory time. Previous understanding of this mechanism has focused on evaluating the performance of error correction algorithms […]

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Liao Duan, Trevor J. Steiner, Paolo Pintus, Lillian Thiel, Joshua E. Castro | Summary: Correlated photon-pair sources are key components for quantum computing, networking, and sensing applications. Integrated photonics has enabled chip-scale sources using nonlinear processes, producing high-rate entanglement with sub-100 microwatt power at telecom wavelengths. […]

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Lillian Thiel, Joshua E. Castro, Trevor J. Steiner, Catherine L. Nguyen, Audrey Pechilis | Summary: The development of manufacturable and scalable integrated nonlinear photonic materials is driving key technologies in diverse areas such as high-speed communications, signal processing, sensing, and quantum information. Here, we demonstrate a […]

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Joel Guo, Chao Xiang, Warren Jin, Jonathan Peters, Mingxiao Li | Summary: High-performance, high-volume-manufacturing Si3N4 photonics requires extremely low waveguide losses augmented with heterogeneously integrated lasers for applications beyond traditional markets of high-capacity interconnects. State-of-the-art quality factors (Q) over 200 million at 1550 nm have been […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Martin Plávala, Laurens T. Ligthart, David Gross, , | Summary: We construct a convergent family of outer approximations for the problem of optimizing polynomial functions over convex bodies subject to polynomial constraints. This is achieved by generalizing the polarization hierarchy, which has previously been introduced for the […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Valentin Obst, Arne Heimendahl, Tanmay Singal, David Gross, | Summary: We describe the symmetry group of the stabilizer polytope for any number $n$ of systems and any prime local dimension $d$. In the qubit case, the symmetry group coincides with the linear and anti-linear Clifford operations. In […]

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Vikas Thamizharasan, Difan Liu, Matthew Fisher, Nanxuan Zhao, Evangelos Kalogerakis | Summary: The success of denoising diffusion models in representing rich data distributions over 2D raster images has prompted research on extending them to other data representations, such as vector graphics. Unfortunately due to their variable structure […]
