Numerical test of few-qubit clock protocols

Author(s)
Till P. Rosenband
The stability of several clock protocols based on 2 to 20 entangled atoms is evaluated numerically, by a simulation that includes the effect of decoherence due...

The Effect of Folding on the Internal Structure of Ballistic Fibers

Author(s)
Haruki Kobayashi, Walter G. McDonough, Hae-Jeong Lee, Jae H. Kim, Amanda L. Forster, Kirk D. Rice, Gale A. Holmes
In one of our previous studies, the mechanical properties of poly (p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers were degraded when the fibers were folded. When we...

Effects of Roughness on Scatterometry Signatures

Author(s)
Martin Foldyna, Thomas Germer, Brent Bergner
We used azimuthally-resolved spectroscopic Mueller matrix ellipsometry to study a periodic silicon line structure with and without artificially-generated line...
