Intra-grain local luminescence properties of CdSe0.1Te0.9 Thin Films

December 25, 2023
Author(s)
Ganga Neupane, Behrang Hamadani, David Albin, Joel Duenow, Matthew Reese, Susanna Thon
We report on the local photoluminescence properties of grains and grain boundaries of CdSe0.1Te0.9 thin film deposited by the colossal grain growth method using a wide-field hyperspectral imaging technique. We observed significant variations in the

Visualizing the merger of tunably coupled graphene quantum dots

December 6, 2023
Author(s)
Daniel Walkup, Fereshte Ghahari, Steven R. Blankenship, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Nikolai Zhitenev, Joseph A. Stroscio
Coupled quantum dots have been realized in a wide variety of physical systems and have attracted interest for many different applications. Here, we examine novel graphene quantum dots in backgated devices on hBN, and visualize their merger using scanning

Bipartite time-energy uncertainty relation for quantum metrology with noise

December 5, 2023
Author(s)
Philippe Faist, Mischa Woods, Victor Albert, Joseph Renes, Jens Eisert, John Preskill
Noise in quantum metrology reduces the sensitivity to which one can determine an unknown parameter in the evolution of a quantum state, such as time. Here, we consider a system prepared in a pure state that evolves according to a given Hamiltonian. We

Branching Fractions and Transition Probabilities for UV Transitions in the Spectrum of Cr II

November 28, 2023
Author(s)
Jacob Ward, Jacqueline Li, Jared Schwartz, Gillian Nave, Ton Raassen, Peter H. M. Uylings
We present transition probabilities for 268 spectral lines of singly-ionized chromium (Cr II) in the wavelength region 208 nm to 414 nm. Branching fractions were measured in archival Fourier transform spectra of chromium-argon and chromium-neon hollow

Optimal binary gratings for multi-wavelength magneto-optical traps

November 20, 2023
Author(s)
Oliver Burrow, Robert Fasano, Michael Wright, Wesley Brand, Wenbo Li, Andrew Ludlow, Erling Riis, Paul Griffin, Aidan Arnold
Grating magneto-optical traps are an enabling quantum technology for portable metrological devices with ultracold atoms. However, beam diffraction efficiency and angle are affected by wavelength, creating a single-optic design challenge for laser cooling

ASTRA: a Transition-Density-Matrix Approach to Molecular Ionization

November 3, 2023
Author(s)
Luca Argenti, Juan Martin Randazzo, carlos maranthe, Jeppe Olsen, Siddhartha Chattopadhyay, Barry I. Schneider
We describe ASTRA (AttoSecond TRAnsitions), a new close-coupling approach to molecular ionization that uses many-body transition density matrices between ionic states with arbitrary spin and symmetry, in combination with hybrid integrals between Gaussian

Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector Arrays for the Near- to Mid-Infrared

October 31, 2023
Author(s)
Benedikt Hampel, Richard Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Varun Verma
Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) are excellent devices for the analysis of faint light from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared. Recent developments push their broad wavelength bandwidth further into the mid-infrared towards 20 μm

A superconducting nanowire single-photon camera with 400,000 pixels

October 25, 2023
Author(s)
Bakhrom Oripov, Dana Rampini, Jason Allmaras, Matt Shaw, Sae Woo Nam, Boris Korzh, Adam McCaughan
For the past 50 years, superconducting detectors have offered exceptional sensitivity and speed for detecting faint electromagnetic signals in a wide range of applications. These detectors operate at very low temperatures and generate a minimum of excess
