Melting of interference in the fractional quantum Hall effect: Appearance of neutral modes

R. Bhattacharyya, Mitali Banerjee, Moty Heiblum +2

Electrons living in a two-dimensional world under a strong magnetic field - the so-called fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) - often manifest themselves as fractionally charged…

"Double-DIP": Unsupervised Image Decomposition via Coupled Deep-Image-Priors

Yossi Gandelsman, Assaf Shocher, Michal Irani

Many seemingly unrelated computer vision tasks can be viewed as a special case of image decomposition into separate layers. For example, image segmentation (separation into foregro…

Robust Majorana magic gates via measurements

Torsten Karzig, Yuval Oreg, Gil Refael +1

phase gates (magic gates or T-gates) are crucial to augment topological systems based on Majorana zero modes to full quantum universality. We present a scheme based on a comb…
