Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Tobias Hinz, Matthew Fisher, Oliver Wang, Eli Shechtman, Stefan Wermter | Summary: We introduce CharacterGAN, a generative model that can be trained on only a few samples (8 – 15) of a given character. Our model generates novel poses based on keypoint locations, which can be modified […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Felipe Montealegre-Mora, Denis Rosset, Jean-Daniel Bancal, David Gross, | Summary: We present a performant and rigorous algorithm for certifying that a matrix is close to being a projection onto an irreducible subspace of a given group representation. This addresses a problem arising when one seeks solutions to […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Arne Heimendahl, Markus Heinrich, David Gross, , | Summary: Stabiliser operations occupy a prominent role in fault-tolerant quantum computing. They are defined operationally: by the use of Clifford gates, Pauli measurements and classical control. These operations can be efficiently simulated on a classical computer, a result which […]
Kavli Affiliate: Boris I. Shraiman | First 5 Authors: Farzan Vafa, Mark J. Bowick, Boris I. Shraiman, M. Cristina Marchetti, | Summary: Recent experiments in various cell types have shown that two-dimensional tissues often display local nematic order, with evidence of extensile stresses manifest in the dynamics of topological defects. Using a mesoscopic model where […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Suraj Shankar, Anton Souslov, Mark J. Bowick, M. Cristina Marchetti, Vincenzo Vitelli | Summary: Active matter encompasses different nonequilibrium systems in which individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces or motion at the microscale. This review provides an elementary introduction to the role of topology in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Kasra Hejazi, Zhu-Xi Luo, Leon Balents, , | Summary: We study untwisted heterobilayers of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic van der Waals materials, with in particular a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in the ferromagnetic layer. A continuum low energy field theory is utilized to study such systems. We develop a phase […]
Kavli Affiliate: Boris I. Shraiman | First 5 Authors: Farzan Vafa, Mark J. Bowick, M. Cristina Marchetti, Boris I. Shraiman, | Summary: Recent experiments and numerical studies have drawn attention to the dynamics of active nematics. Two-dimensional active nematics flow spontaneously and exhibit spatiotemporal chaotic flows with proliferation of topological defects in the nematic texture. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Yaodong Li, Xiao Chen, Andreas W. W. Ludwig, Matthew P. A. Fisher, | Summary: We establish the emergence of a conformal field theory (CFT) in a (1+1)-dimensional hybrid quantum circuit right at the measurement-driven entanglement transition by revealing space-time conformal covariance of entanglement entropies and […]
