Negative Capacitance in a Ferroelectric Material and Its Potential Use for Beyond Boltzmann Limit TransistorsNegative capacitance in a ferroelectric material is characterized by a state of the polarization where the polarization charge and the net electric field oppose each other. In a prototypical ferroelectric this situation occurs where the polarization is significantly suppressed. Conventionally, this is the region where the material experiences a polarization ...

Black Holes, Quantum Information, and Unification The study of black holes have revealed a deep connection between quantum information and spacetime geometry. Its origin must lie in the quantum theory of gravity we seek. Precise formulations of this relation have already led to new insights in Quantum Field Theory, some of which we have been rigorously ...
