NbN films with high kinetic inductance for high-quality compact superconducting resonators

Edoardo Charbon, Simone Frasca, Pasquale Scarlino, Vincent Jean Yves Jouanny, Fabian Oppliger, Fabrizio Minganti, Marco Scigliuzzo, Roberto Musio

Niobium nitride (NbN) is a particularly promising material for quantum technology applications, as it shows the degree of reproducibility necessary for large-scale superconducting circuits. We demonstrate that resonators based on NbN thin films present a o ...

Distributional Regression and Autoregression via Optimal Transport

Laya Ghodrati

We present a framework for performing regression when both covariate and response are probability distributions on a compact and convex subset of

\R^d

. Our regression model is based on the theory of optimal transport and links the conditional Fr'echet m ...

Localization errors of the stochastic heat equation

David Jean-Michel Candil

In this thesis, we study the stochastic heat equation (SHE) on bounded domains and on the whole Euclidean space

\R^d.

We confirm the intuition that as the bounded domain increases to the whole space, both solutions become arbitrarily close to one another ...

Compact, Spatial-mode-interaction-free, Ultralow-loss, Nonlinear photonic integrated circuits

Rui Ning Wang, Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Jijun He, Xinru Ji, Zheru Qiu

We implement Euler bends to build compact high-Q Si3N4 racetrack microresonators, featuring a small footprint of only 0.21 mm(2) for 19.8 GHz FSR. We demonstrate that these multi-mode microresonators can be operated in the single-mode regime and generate a ...

Maximizing friction by liquid flow clogging in confinement

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Shan Chen, Xiaoqi Zhang

In the nanoscale regime, flow behaviors for liquids show qualitative deviations from bulk expectations. In this work, we reveal by molecular dynamics simulations that plug flow down to nanoscale induces molecular friction that leads to a new flow structure ...

Compact, spatial-mode-interaction-free, ultralow-loss, nonlinear photonic integrated circuits

Rui Ning Wang, Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Jijun He, Xinru Ji, Zheru Qiu

Multi-mode waveguides are ubiquitously used in integrated photonics. Although interaction among different spatial waveguide eigenmodes can induce novel nonlinear phenomena, spatial mode interaction is typically undesired. Adiabatic bends, such as Euler ben ...

Reaching Paris Agreement goal through carbon dioxide removal development: A compact OR model

Alain Haurie, Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau

A compact operations research (OR) model is proposed to analyse the prospects of meeting the Paris Agreement targets when direct air capture technologies can be used or not. The main features of the model are (i) the representation of the economy and energ ...

Experimental Evaluation of Steel Columns under Seismic Hazard-Consistent Collapse Loading Protocols

Dimitrios Lignos

This paper presents results from 21 large-scale experiments on steel columns that examined their collapse behavior as related to steel moment resisting frames (MRFs). The test specimens included wide-flange and square hollow structural shapes (HSS) and wer ...

On Linear Optimization over Wasserstein Balls

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann

Wasserstein balls, which contain all probability measures within a pre-specified Wasserstein distance to a reference measure, have recently enjoyed wide popularity in the distributionally robust optimization and machine learning communities to formulate an ...

Matrix Fourier optics enables a compact full-Stokes polarization camera

Gabriele D'Aversa

Recent developments have enabled the practical realization of optical elements in which the polarization of light may vary spatially. We present an extension of Fourier optics-matrix Fourier optics-for understanding these devices and apply it to the design ...

Some regularity results for p-harmonic mappings between Riemannian manifolds

Changyu Guo

Let M be a C-2-smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary and N a complete C-2-smooth Riemannian manifold. We show that each stationary p-harmonic mapping u: M -> N, whose image lies in a compact subset of N, is locally C-1,C-alpha for some alpha is an eleme ...

Tits Buildings And K-Stability

Giulio Codogni

A polarized variety is K-stable if, for any test configuration, the Donaldson-Futaki invariant is positive. In this paper, inspired by classical geometric invariant theory, we describe the space of test configurations as a limit of a direct system of Tits ...
