Emergence of a spin microemulsion in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates

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 […]

Emergence of a spin microemulsion in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates

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 […]

DualVector: Unsupervised Vector Font Synthesis with Dual-Part Representation

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, […]

Vibrations and tunneling of strained nanoribbons at finite temperature

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 […]

Continuous symmetry breaking in adaptive quantum dynamics

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 […]

Spin-polarons and ferromagnetism in doped dilute Wigner-Mott insulators

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Urban F. P. Seifert, Leon Balents | Summary: Moir’e heterostructures of transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit Mott-insulating behaviour both at half-filling as well as at fractional fillings, where electronic degrees of freedom form self-organized Wigner crystal states. An open question concerns magnetic states obtained by lifting the pseudospin-1/2 […]
