Improving quantum state detection with adaptive sequential observations

May 13, 2022
Author(s)
Emanuel Knill, Scott Glancy, Daniel Cole, Shawn Geller
For many quantum systems intended for information processing, one detects the logical state of a qubit by integrating a continuously observed quantity over time. For example, ion and atom qubits are typically measured by driving a cycling transition and

ON RANKS OF QUADRATIC TWISTS OF A MORDELL CURVE

May 13, 2022
Author(s)
Abhishek Juyal, Dustin Moody, Bidisha Roy
In this article, we consider the quadratic twists of the Mordell curve $E:y^2=x^3-1$. For a square-free integer $k$, the quadratic twist of $E$ is given by $E_k:y^2=x^3-k^3.$ We prove that there exist infinitely many $k$ for which the rank of $E_k$ is 0

Benchmarking challenging small variants with linked and long reads

May 11, 2022
Author(s)
Justin Wagner, Nathanael David Olson, Lindsay Harris, Marc L. Salit, Fritz Sedlazeck, Chunlin Xiao, Justin Zook
Genome in a Bottle benchmarks are widely used to help validate clinical sequencing pipelines and develop variant calling and sequencing methods. Here we use accurate linked and long reads to expand benchmarks in 7 samples to include difficult-to-map

Challenges for 5G and Beyond

May 11, 2022
Author(s)
Jelena Senic
In this paper, we discuss some challenges for 5G-and-beyond communications systems based on our measurements conducted with millimeter-wave (mmWave) channel sounders. One study analyzes path loss at 28 GHz vs. 83 GHz and in line-of-sight conditions vs. non

Experimental Realization of Neutron Helical Waves

May 11, 2022
Author(s)
Michael G. Huber, Charles W. Clark, Dmitry Pushin, Connor Kapahi, Lisa DeBeer-Schmitt, David Cory, Huseyin Ekinci, Melissa Henderson, Dusan Sarenac
Methods of preparation and analysis of structured waves of light, electrons, and atoms have been advancing rapidly. Despite the proven power of neutrons for material characterization and studies of fundamental physics, neutron science has not been able to

Lattice Dynamics in the NASICON NaZr 2 (PO 4 ) 3 Solid Electrolyte from Temperature-Dependent Neutron Diffraction, NMR, and Ab Initio Computational Studies

May 10, 2022
Author(s)
Emily Morgan, Hayden Evans, Kartik Pilar, Craig Brown, Raphaele Clement, Ryo Maezono, Ram Seshadri, Bartomeu Monserrat, Anthony Cheetham
Natrium super ionic conductor (NASICON) compounds form a rich and highly chemically-tunable family of crystalline materials that are of widespread interest because they include exemplars with high ionic conductivity, low thermal expansion, and redox

Assessment of the reason for the vitrification of a wall at a hillfort. The example of Broborg in Sweden

May 9, 2022
Author(s)
Rolf Sjoblom, Eva Hjarthner-Holdar, Carolyn Pearce, Jamie Weaver, Erik Ogenhall, John McCloy, Jose Marcial, Edward Vicenzi, Michael Schweiger, Albert Kruger
It was discovered around 250 years ago that some of the rock material in the walls of some hillforts had been subjected to such high temperature that it had vitrified. This prompted a debate as to the reason for it that is still going on today: did the

A self-validated detector for characterization of quantum network components

May 7, 2022
Author(s)
Anouar Rahmouni, Thomas Gerrits, Alan Migdall, Oliver T. Slattery, Ping-Shine Shaw, Joseph P. Rice
We are developing a nearly polarization-independent, low-cost optical trap detector between 1000 nm and 1550 nm for optical power measurements. A NIST-traceable optical power calibration of this trap detector showed a promising result.

Integrated High-throughput and Machine Learning Methods to Accelerate Discovery of Molten Salt Corrosion-resistant Alloys

May 7, 2022
Author(s)
Yafei Wang, Bonita Goh, Phalgun Nelaturu, Thien Duong, Najlaa Hassan, Raphaelle David, Michael Moorehead, Santanu Chaudhuri, Adam Abel Creuziger, Jason Hattrick-Simpers, Dan Thoma, Kumar Sridharan, Adrien Couet
Insufficient availability of molten salt corrosion-resistant alloys severely limits the fruition of a variety of promising molten salt technologies that could otherwise have significant societal impacts. To accelerate alloy development for molten salt

White Rabbit-assisted quantum network node synchronization with quantum channel coexistence

May 7, 2022
Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Ivan Burenkov, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Anouar Rahmouni, DJ Anand, FNU Hala, Oliver T. Slattery, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
We show that the Ethernet-based time transfer protocol 'White Rabbit' can synchronize two distant quantum-networked nodes to within 4 ps, enabling HOM interference at >90 % visibility using 17.6 ps FWHM single-photons coexisting with White Rabbit.
