Electro-optic (E/O) modulators are crucial for optical communication but face a trade-off between modulation bandwidth and efficiency. A small footprint could reduce the capacitance and increase the b…
This thesis develops a decision-theoretic framework for extracting thermodynamic work from temporal correlations in quantum systems. We model a classical agent -- lacking quantum memory -- performing …
We present a systematic study of halo characteristics in the neutron-rich isotopes 28-32Ne within the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (DRHBc). Microscopic density distribu…
Nature contains massless particles with linear dispersions, and massive particles whose energies depend quadratically on their momenta with finite mass gaps. Both have equivalents in condensed matter …
Thermodynamics establishes that information acquired through measurement can be converted into work, as exemplified by Maxwell's demon and Szilard engines. Most experimental realizations of informatio…
Metasurfaces leveraging nonlocal resonances enable narrowband spectral control and strong near-fields, with applications spanning augmented reality, biosensing, and nonlinear optics. However, the larg…
Emerging evidence suggests that physical systems operating as Maxwell demons, in which some subsystem of a larger system extracts heat energy from its environment in an apparent local violation of the…
Rectifying thermal white noise into directed motion is generally believed to require the consumption of energy or information, as exemplified by Maxwell's demon-type feedback controllers. Here we demo…
The amount of extractable work from a physical system is fundamentally connected to the information available about its state, as illustrated by Maxwell's demon and the Gibbs paradox. In standard ther…
Maxwell's demon elucidates the value of information in thermodynamics, using measurement and feedback: he evolves an equilibrated gas into a nonequilibrium state, from which one might extract work. Th…
Thermodynamic cycles are idealized processes that can convert heat into work or produce heat flow against a temperature gradient with the input of work. They remain an active area of research in moder…
The Landauer principle establishes a fundamental lower bound on the energetic cost of the erasure of a one-bit memory in thermal equilibrium. Here, we experimentally demonstrate how this bound can be …
Epitaxial strain is a powerful means to engineer emergent phenomena in thin films and heterostructures. Here, we demonstrate that KTaO3, a cubic perovskite in bulk form, can be epitaxially strained in…
The dust content of star-forming galaxies is generally positively correlated with their stellar mass. However, some recent JWST studies have shown the existence of a population of dwarf galaxies with …
The emerging field of quantum thermodynamics is beginning to reveal the intriguing role that information can play in quantum thermal engines. Information enters as a resource when considering feedback…
Variational quantum algorithms are leading candidates for near-term advantage, yet their scalability is fundamentally limited by the ``Barren Plateau'' phenomenon. While traditionally attributed to ge…
The ability to measure the stochastic degrees of freedom of a thermal system enables the extraction of energy from an equilibrium heat bath. This is the underlying principle of Maxwell's demon and sub…
In introductory biology, aging is typically explained as a result of mutations during the DNA replication process within cells. Upon abstraction, we recognize that cellular aging can be understood as …
Algol is a well-known eclipsing binary hosting an active and variable star that exhibits frequent stellar flares. Here, we report our pre-planned and coordinated rapid X-ray follow-up observations of …
Quantum-dot systems serve as nanoscale heat engines exploiting thermal fluctuations to perform a useful task. Here, we investigate a multi-terminal triple-dot system, operating as a refrigerator that …
