Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Sudip Shekhar, Wim Bogaerts, Lukas Chrostowski, John E. Bowers, Michael Hochberg | Summary: Silicon photonics has developed into a mainstream technology driven by advances in optical communications. The current generation has led to a proliferation of integrated photonic devices from thousands to millions – mainly in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Ethan C. McGarrigle, Kris T. Delaney, Leon Balents, Glenn H. Fredrickson | Summary: Recent experiments have shown how the interplay between Bose statistics and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can lead to superfluid liquid crystalline (stripe) analogues in cold atomic gases. For isotropic SOC in two spatial dimensions, a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Ethan C. McGarrigle, Kris T. Delaney, Leon Balents, Glenn H. Fredrickson, | Summary: We report the first observation of a “spin microemulsion”– a phase with undulating spin domains resembling classical bicontinuous oil-water-surfactant emulsions — in two-dimensional systems of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with isotropic Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Using […]

Fredrickson, | Summary: We report the first numerical prediction of a "spin microemulsion" — a phase with undulating spin domains resembling classical bicontinuous oil-water-surfactant emulsions — in two-dimensional systems of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with isotropic Rashba spin-orbit […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Ying-Tian Liu, Zhifei Zhang, Yuan-Chen Guo, Matthew Fisher, Zhaowen Wang | Summary: Automatic generation of fonts can be an important aid to typeface design. Many current approaches regard glyphs as pixelated images, which present artifacts when scaling and inevitable quality losses after vectorization. On the other hand, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Paul Z. Hanakata, Sourav S. Bhabesh, David Yllanes, David R. Nelson, Mark J. Bowick | Summary: Crystalline sheets (e.g., graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides) liberated from a substrate are a paradigm for materials at criticality because flexural phonons can fluctuate into the third dimension. Although studies […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Tin Long Sunny Wong, Lars Bildsten, , , | Summary: The detonation of an overlying helium layer on a $0.8-1.1,mathrm{M}_{odot}$ carbon-oxygen (CO) white dwarf (WD) can detonate the CO WD and create a thermonuclear supernova (SN). Many authors have recently shown that when the mass of the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Jacob Hauser, Yaodong Li, Sagar Vijay, Matthew P. A. Fisher | Summary: Adaptive quantum circuits, in which unitary operations, measurements, and feedback are used to steer quantum many-body systems, provide an exciting opportunity to generate new dynamical steady states. We introduce an adaptive quantum dynamics […]
