Decoding Measurement-Prepared Quantum Phases and Transitions: from Ising model to gauge theory, and beyond

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Jong Yeon Lee, Wenjie Ji, Zhen Bi, Matthew P. A. Fisher, | Summary: Measurements allow efficient preparation of interesting quantum many-body states with long-range entanglement, conditioned on additional transformations based on measurement outcomes. Here, we demonstrate that the so-called conformal quantum critical points (CQCP) can […]

Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Time-Dependent Convection, Energy Conservation, Automatic Differentiation, and Infrastructure

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Adam S. Jermyn, Evan B. Bauer, Josiah Schwab, R. Farmer, Warrick H. Ball | Summary: We update the capabilities of the open-knowledge software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). The new auto_diff module implements automatic differentiation in MESA, an enabling capability that alleviates the need […]

Random Quantum Circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Matthew P. A. Fisher, Vedika Khemani, Adam Nahum, Sagar Vijay, | Summary: Quantum circuits — built from local unitary gates and local measurements — are a new playground for quantum many-body physics and a tractable setting to explore universal collective phenomena far-from-equilibrium. These models have […]

3D Hydrodynamics of Pre-supernova Outbursts in Convective Red Supergiant Envelopes

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Benny T. -H. Tsang, Daniel Kasen, Lars Bildsten, , | Summary: Eruptive mass loss likely produces the energetic outbursts observed from some massive stars before they undergo core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe). The resulting dense circumstellar medium (CSM) may also cause the subsequent SNe to be observed as Type […]

Spotting Temporally Precise, Fine-Grained Events in Video

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: James Hong, Haotian Zhang, Michaël Gharbi, Matthew Fisher, Kayvon Fatahalian | Summary: We introduce the task of spotting temporally precise, fine-grained events in video (detecting the precise moment in time events occur). Precise spotting requires models to reason globally about the full-time scale of actions and locally […]

Active nematic defects in compressible and incompressible flows

Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Supavit Pokawanvit, Zhitao Chen, Zhihong You, Luiza Angheluta, M. Cristina Marchetti | Summary: We study two-dimensional active nematics on a substrate, comparing compressible and incompressible flows. Through simulations and theoretical analysis we show that arch patterns are stable in the compressible case but are unstable in […]

Phonon Thermal Hall Conductivity from Scattering with Collective Fluctuations

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Léo Mangeolle, Leon Balents, Lucile Savary, , | Summary: Because electrons and ions form a coupled system, it is a priori clear that the dynamics of the lattice should reflect symmetry breaking within the electronic degrees of freedom. This has been recently clearly evidenced for the case […]
