Getting the units right

Author(s)
Howard S. Cohl, Moritz A. Schubotz, David Veenhuis
To understand applied physics, and physical formulae in particular, the investigation of identifier units is beneficial. However, normally the units are not

Darine El Haddad, Leon S. Chao, Frank C. Seifert, David B. Newell, Jon R. Pratt, Stephan Schlamminger
In the past four years, we have constructed a new watt balance at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with the goal to realize the unit

2 V Pulse-Driven Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer

Author(s)
Nathan E. Flowers-Jacobs, Alain Rufenacht, Anna E. Fox, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz
We created a Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer (JAWS) with a root-mean-square (rms) output magnitude of 2 V. This system is composed of two 1 V chips
