Phonon heat transport with squeezing-based symmetry breaking
Yan Cao, Cheng Yang, Xintong Gu +3
The controllability of phonon thermal transport is fundamental for numerous technologies, from cooling high-performance chips to managing heat in quantum computing. Despite extensi…
Optomechanical dark-mode-breaking cooling
Yan Cao, Cheng Yang, Jiteng Sheng +1
Optomechanical cooling of multiple degenerate mechanical modes is prevented by the mechanical dark mode due to destructive interference. Here we report the first experimental demon…
Room temperature single-photon terahertz detection with thermal Rydberg atoms
Danyang Li, Zhengyang Bai, Xiaoliang Zuo +3
Single-photon terahertz (THz) detection is one of the most demanding technology for a variety of fields and could lead to many breakthroughs. Although its significant progress has…
Anomalous Thermodynamic Cost of Clock Synchronization
Cheng Yang, Jiteng Sheng, Haibin Wu
Clock synchronization is critically important in positioning, navigation and timing systems. While its performance has been intensively studied in a wide range of disciplines, much…
