Laser Interferometer Lunar Antenna (LILA): Advancing the U.S. Priorities in Gravitational-wave and Lunar Science
Karan Jani, Matthew Abernathy, Emanuele Berti +30
The Laser Interferometer Lunar Antenna (LILA) is a next-generation gravitational-wave (GW) facility on the Moon. By harnessing the Moon's unique environment, LILA fills a critical…
Structural tunability and origin of two-level systems in amorphous silicon
H. C. Jacks, M. Molina-Ruiz, M. H. Weber +5
Amorphous silicon films prepared by electron beam evaporation have systematically and substantially greater atomic density for higher thickness, higher growth temperature, and slow…
Exploration of co-sputtered TaO-ZrO thin films for gravitational-wave detectors
M. Abernathy, A. Amato, A. Ananyeva +45
We report on the development and extensive characterization of co-sputtered tantala-zirconia thin films, with the goal to decrease coating Brownian noise in present and future grav…
Generative machine learning with tensor networks: benchmarks on near-term quantum computers
Michael L. Wall, Matthew R. Abernathy, Gregory Quiroz
Noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computing devices have become an industrial reality in the last few years, and cloud-based interfaces to these devices are enabling explora…
Origin of Mechanical and Dielectric Losses from Two-Level Systems in Amorphous Silicon
M. Molina-Ruiz, Y. J. Rosen, H. C. Jacks +5
Amorphous silicon contains tunneling two-level systems, which are the dominant energy loss mechanisms for amorphous solids at low temperatures. These two-level systems affect both…
All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the first Advanced LIGO observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +990
We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between September…
