Kavli Affiliate: Boris I. Shraiman| First 5 Authors: Nikolas H. Claussen, Nikolas H. Claussen, , , | Summary:Convergent extension of epithelial tissue is a key motif of animal morphogenesis. On a coarse scale, cell motion resembles laminar fluid flow; yet in contrast to a fluid, epithelial cells adhere to each other and maintain the tissue […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Zhenhao Song, Urban F. P. Seifert, Zhu-Xi Luo, Leon Balents, | Summary: In this work, we study a slave-rotor mean-field theory of an extended Hubbard model, applicable to transition metal dichalcogenide moir’e systems, that captures both the formation of Wigner crystals as well as exotic spin states […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: William Schultz, Lars Bildsten, Yan-Fei Jiang, , | Summary: The outer envelopes of massive ($Mgtrsim10,M_{odot}$) stars exhibit large increases in opacities from forests of lines and ionization transitions (particularly from iron and helium) that trigger near-surface convection zones. One-dimensional models predict density inversions and supersonic motions that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Leonie Woodland, Izabella Lovas, M. Telling, D. Prabhakaran, Leon Balents | Summary: We present experimental and theoretical evidence of novel bound state formation in the low transverse field ordered phase of the quasi-one-dimensional Ising-like material CoNb$_2$O$_6$. High resolution single crystal inelastic neutron scattering measurements observe that small […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Maria Tikhanovskaya, Ali Lavasani, Matthew P. A. Fisher, Sagar Vijay, | Summary: The linear cross-entropy (LXE) has been recently proposed as a scalable probe of the measurement-driven phase transition between volume- and area-law-entangled phases of pure-state trajectories in certain monitored quantum circuits. Here, we demonstrate […]
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 Fisher | First 5 Authors: Akshay Gadi Patil, Supriya Gadi Patil, Manyi Li, Matthew Fisher, Manolis Savva | Summary: This report surveys advances in deep learning-based modeling techniques that address four different 3D indoor scene analysis tasks, as well as synthesis of 3D indoor scenes. We describe different kinds of representations for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Boris I. Shraiman| First 5 Authors: Dillon J. Cislo, Dillon J. Cislo, , , | Summary:How does growth encode form in developing organisms? Many different spatiotemporal growth profiles may sculpt tissues into the same target 3D shapes, but only specific growth patterns are observed in animal and plant development. In particular, growth profiles […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Laurens T. Ligthart, David Gross, , , | Summary: It is a fundamental but difficult problem to characterize the set of correlations that can be obtained by performing measurements on quantum mechanical systems. The problem is particularly challenging when the preparation procedure for the quantum states is […]
