Mechanisms for carbon adsorption on Au(110)-(2 x 1): A work function analysis

July 17, 2018

Author(s):

Dustin A. Hite, Hossein Jooya, Kyle S. McKay, Eunja Kim, Philippe F. Weck, David P. Pappas, H.R. Sadeghpour

The variation of the work function upon carbon adsorption on the reconstructed Au(110) surface is measured experimentally and compared to density functional...

Electromagnetically induced transparency in circuit quantum electrodynamics with nested polariton states

February 23, 2018

Author(s):

Junling Long, Hsiang Sheng Ku, Xian Wu, Xiu Gu, Russell E. Lake, Mustafa Bal, Yu-xi Liu, David P. Pappas

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is a signature of quantum interference in an atomic three-level system. By driving the dressed cavity-qubit...

Author(s):

David P. Pappas, Xian Wu, Nicholas T. Bronn, Salvatore B. Olivadese, Vivekananda P. Adiga, Jerry M. Chow

Wedemonstrate a pogo pin package for a superconducting quantum processor specifically designed with a nontrivial layout topology (e.g., a center qubit that...

Electric- field noise from carbon-adatom diffusion on a Au(110) surface: first-principles calculations and experiments

March 09, 2017

Author(s):

E. Kim, A Safavi-Naini, Kyle S. McKay, David P. Pappas, P.F Weck, H.R. Sadeghpour, Dustin A. Hite

The decoherence of trapped-ion quantum bits due to heating of their motional modes is a fundamental science and engineering problem. This heating is attributed...

Theory of Multiwave Mixing within the Superconducting Kinetic-Inductance Traveling-Wave Amplifier

March 06, 2017

Author(s):

David P. Pappas, Robert P. Erickson

We present the theory of parametric mixing within the coplanar waveguide (CPW) of a super- conducting nonlinear kinetic-inductance traveling-wave (KIT) ampli...
