Time-Dependent Tunneling in the Thin-Barrier Limit
Tanmay Vachaspati, Frank Wilczek, Zara Yu
The usual WKB analysis for quantum tunneling applies when the tunneling action is large, as it is for tall, wide potential barriers. In contrast we analyze tunneling when the actio…
Design of ALPHA Phase I: A Plasma Haloscope for 10--20 GHz Post-Inflation Axions
ALPHA Collaboration, Xiran Bai, Rustam Balafendiev +53
The axion is a well-motivated hypothetical particle capable of resolving both the strong CP problem and the dark matter mystery, with recent post-inflationary cosmological simulati…
Detecting a long lived false vacuum with quantum quenches
Gianluca Lagnese, Federica Maria Surace, Sid Morampudi +1
Distinguishing whether a system supports alternate low-energy (locally stable) states -- stable (true vacuum) versus metastable (false vacuum) -- by direct observation can be diffi…
Colloquium: Quantum and Classical Discrete Time Crystals
Michael P. Zaletel, Mikhail Lukin, Christopher Monroe +3
The spontaneous breaking of time translation symmetry has led to the discovery of a new phase of matter - the discrete time crystal. Discrete time crystals exhibit rigid subharmoni…
Emergent axion response in multilayered metamaterials
Leon Shaposhnikov, Maxim Mazanov, Daniel A. Bobylev +2
We consider the design of metamaterials whose behavior embodies the equations of axion electrodynamics. We derive an effective medium description of an assembly of magneto-optical…
Fractional Statistics
Martin Greiter, Frank Wilczek
The quantum-mechanical description of assemblies of particles whose motion is confined to two (or one) spatial dimensions offers many possibilities that are distinct from bosons an…
