Prestress in Composite Polymer Gels as a Model for Articular Cartilage

November 2, 2022
Author(s)
Alexandros Chremos, Jack F. Douglas, Peter Basser, Ferenc Horkay
Articular cartilage is a composite gel-like material found in animal and human joints and exhibits a unique load-bearing performance that has been challenging to reproduce in synthetic materials and in molecular dynamics simulations. We investigate a

Scalable Quantum Logic Spectroscopy

Author(s)
Kaifeng Cui, Jose Valencia, Kevin Boyce, Ethan Clements, David Leibrandt, David Hume
In quantum logic spectroscopy (QLS), one species of trapped ion is used as a sensor to detect the state of an otherwise inaccessible ion species. This extends precision measurements to a broader class of atomic and molecular systems for applications like

Enhanced Atomic Precision Fabrication by Adsorption of Phosphine into Engineered Dangling Bonds on H-Si Using STM and DFT

Doping of Si using the scanning probe technique of hydrogen depassivation lithography has been shown to enable placing and positioning small numbers of P atoms with nanometer accuracy. Several groups have now used this capability to build devices that

Simplified algorithms for adaptive experiment design in parameter estimation

November 1, 2022
Author(s)
Robert D. McMichael, Sean Blakley
In experiments to estimate parameters of a parametric model, Bayesian experiment design allows measurement settings to be chosen based on utility, i.e. the predicted improvement of parameter distributions due to modeled measurement results. In this paper

Convergent close-coupling calculations of electron scattering on HeH+

October 31, 2022
Author(s)
Barry I. Schneider
We use the molecular convergent close-coupling (MCCC) method to perform calculations of 10–1000 eV electron scattering on the ground state of HeH+. Cross sections are presented for excitation of the n = 2−3 singlet and triplet states (where n is the united

Fractional optical angular momentum and multi-defect-mediated mode renormalization and orientation control in photonic crystal microring resonators

October 28, 2022
Author(s)
Mingkang Wang, Feng Zhou, Xiyuan Lu, Andrew McClung, Vladimir Aksyuk, Kartik Srinivasan
Whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in circularly symmetric optical microresonators exhibit integer quantized angular momentum numbers due to the boundary condition imposed by the geometry. Here, we show that incorporating a photonic crystal pattern in an

The time-programmable frequency comb and its use in quantum-limited ranging

October 27, 2022
Author(s)
Emily Caldwell, Laura Sinclair, Nathan R. Newbury, Jean-Daniel Deschenes
Two decades after its invention, the frequency comb is an unparalleled ruler for frequency, time, and distance metrology due to the rigid spacing of its optical output. Here, in contrast, we demonstrate a programable frequency comb by combining self

Single Photon Detectors and Metrology

October 26, 2022
Author(s)
Sonia Buckley, Michelle Stephens, John H. Lehman
For quantum applications, it is important to generate quantum states of light and detect them with extremely high efficiency. For future applications, it also important to do this at scale. This presents many engineering and metrology challenges. This

Optical-parametric oscillation in photonic-crystal ring resonators

October 20, 2022
Author(s)
Jennifer Black, Grant Brodnik, Haixin Liu, Su-Peng Yu, David Carlson, Jizhao Zang, Travis Briles, Scott Papp
By-design access to laser wavelength, especially with integrated photonics, is critical to advance quantum sensors, such as optical clocks and quantum-information systems, and open opportunities in optical communication. Semiconductor-laser gain provides
