Voltage-gated optics and plasmonics enabled by solid-state proton pumping
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-11-06)
Devices with locally-addressable and dynamically tunable optical properties underpin emerging technologies such as high-resolution reflective displays and dynamic holography. The optical properties of metals such as Y and ...
Nonlinear Dynamics of Preheating after Multifield Inflation with Nonminimal Couplings
(American Physical Society (APS), 2019-10-25)
We study the postinflation dynamics of multifield models involving nonminimal couplings using lattice simulations to capture significant nonlinear effects like backreaction and rescattering. We measure the effective equation ...
Climate change exacerbates hurricane flood hazards along US Atlantic and Gulf Coasts in spatially varying patterns
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-08-22)
One of the most destructive natural hazards, tropical cyclone (TC)–induced coastal flooding, will worsen under climate change. Here we conduct climatology–hydrodynamic modeling to quantify the effects of sea level rise ...
Enantiomeric glycosylated cationic block co-beta-peptides eradicate Staphylococcus aureus biofilms and antibiotic-tolerant persisters
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-10-21)
The treatment of bacterial infections is hindered by the presence of biofilms and metabolically inactive persisters. Here, we report the synthesis of an enantiomeric block co-beta-peptide, poly(amido-D-glucose)-block-pol ...
Gene networks that compensate for crosstalk with crosstalk
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-09-06)
Crosstalk is a major challenge to engineering sophisticated synthetic gene networks. A common approach is to insulate signal-transduction pathways by minimizing molecular-level crosstalk between endogenous and synthetic ...
Percolation thresholds for photonic quantum computing
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-03-06)
Despite linear-optical fusion (Bell measurement) being probabilistic, photonic cluster states for universal quantum computation can be prepared without feed-forward by fusing small n-photon entangled clusters, if the success ...
Towards integrated tunable all-silicon free-electron light sources
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-18)
Extracting light from silicon is a longstanding challenge in modern engineering and physics. While silicon has underpinned the past 70 years of electronics advancement, a facile tunable and efficient silicon-based light ...
Nuclei multiplexing with barcoded antibodies for single-nucleus genomics
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-02)
Single-nucleus RNA-seq (snRNA-seq) enables the interrogation of cellular states in complex tissues that are challenging to dissociate or are frozen, and opens the way to human genetics studies, clinical trials, and precise ...
Hamiltonian engineering with constrained optimization for quantum sensing and control
(IOP Publishing, 2019-02)
While quantum devices rely on interactions between constituent subsystems and with their environment to operate, native interactions alone often fail to deliver targeted performance. Coherent pulsed control provides the ...
Perturbation Independent Decay of the Loschmidt Echo in a Many-Body System
(American Physical Society (APS), 2020-01-21)
When a qubit or spin interacts with others under a many-body Hamiltonian, the information it containsprogressively scrambles. Here, nuclear spins of an adamantane crystal are used as a quantum simulator tomonitor such ...
