In magnetically ordered materials with localized electrons, it has been known for a long time [1–3] that the fundamental interactions are due to exchange of electrons. In most cases only the interaction between pairs of spins in neighboring atoms is taken

Overcoming the Schockley-Queisser limit in photovoltaic systems is an ongoing focus. Processes such as impact ionization that produce carrier multiplication in bulk materials are typically inefficient due to the requirements of energy and momentum
Projected squeezed (PS) states are multipartite entangled states generated by unitary spin squeezing, followed by a quantum measurement and post-selection. They lead to an appreciable decrease in the state preparation time of the maximally entangled N

Rydberg states of alkali atoms are highly sensitive to electric fields because their electron wavefunction has a large spatial extent, leading to large polarizabilities for static fields and large transition dipole moments for time-varying fields

We characterize the single-electron energies and the wavefunction structure of arrays with two, three, and four phosphorus atoms in silicon by implementing atomistic tight-binding calculations and analyzing wavefunction overlaps to identify the single

Reproducibility and validation are major hurdles for scientific development across many fields. Materials science in particular encompasses a variety of experimental and theoretical approaches that require careful benchmarking. Leaderboard efforts have

Superconducting optoelectronic hardware is promising for large-scale neuromorphic computing. In this work, analog circuits combining Josephson junctions and superconducting single-photon detectors are fabricated and shown to exhibit a variety of

Colloidal suspensions of anisotropic particles are ubiquitous in particle-based industries. Consequently, there is a need to quantify the effects of particle shape on equilibrium phases and kinetic state transitions, particularly at lower aspect ratios (L

Hydrogen is expected to play a major role in the decarbonization of the energy grid. As a fuel, it possesses an elevated energy density per unit mass, about twice as much as natural gas but also a very low mass density; for this reason, it is preferably
There exist multiple ways to cool neutral molecules. A front runner is the technique of buffer gas cooling, where momentum-changing collisions with abundant cold noble-gas atoms cool the molecules. This approach can, in principle, produce the most diverse

We have examined the influence of bump shape and bonding pressure on low temperature electrical properties of indium bump connections including transition temperature, normal resistance, and superconducting critical current. We describe our test structures

We report on experiments generating a magneto-optical trap (MOT) of 88-strontium (88Sr) atoms at microkelvin temperature, using integrated-photonics devices. With metasurface optics integrated on a fused-silica substrate, we generate six-beam, circularly p

We show experimentally that a broad class of interactions involving quantum harmonic oscillators can be made stronger (amplified) using a unitary squeezing protocol. While our demonstration uses the motional and spin states of a single trapped $^25}$Mg$^+}

The near-zero-field magnetoresistance (NZFMR) response has proven to be a useful tool for studying atomic-scale, paramagnetic defects that are relevant to the reliability of semiconductor devices. The measurement is simple to make and, in some cases
We will study the possibility of transmitting time and frequency data by using broadcast TV signals observed in common-view, in which two sites receive the transmissions from a single transmitter. The statistical characteristics of the path delay will make

Heat and pressure are ultimately transmitted via quantized degrees of freedom, like gas particles and phonons. While a continuous Brownian description of these noise sources is adequate to model measurements with relatively long integration times

The rapidly growing interest in indoor photovoltaics for low light energy harvesting applications further necessitates understanding of factors that impact the performance and efficiency of these devices under low light. The external radiative efficiency
The present article discusses some recent advances in methods of critical evaluation of experimental data on wavelengths of spectral lines and theoretical data on transition probabilities and oscillator strengths for atoms and atomic ions. In particular
