Strong Casimir force reduction by metallic surface nanostructuring

Author(s)
Francesco Intravaia, Stefan T. Koev, Il Woong Jung, Albert A. Talin, Paul S. Davids, Ricardo Decca, Vladimir Aksyuk, Diego A. Dalvit, Daniel Lopez
The Casimir force is a quantum-mechanical interaction arising from vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic (EM) field and is technologically significant in...

Detection-Loophole-Free Test of Quantum Nonlocality, and Applications

Author(s)
B. G. Christensen, Kevin McCusker, Joseph Altepeter, Brice R. Calkins, Thomas Gerrits, Adriana Lita, Aaron J. Miller, Krister Shalm, Sae Woo Nam, P. G. Kwiat
We present a source of entangled photons that violates a Bell inequality free of the "fair-sampling" assumption, by over 50 standard deviations, and with enough...

EUV spectra from N-shell ions of Gd, Dy and W

Author(s)
Deirdre Kilbane, John D. Gillaspy, Yuri Ralchenko, Joseph Reader, G. O'Sullivan
Measurements of extreme ultraviolet radiation from gadolinium, dysprosium and tungsten ions with an open n=4 shell were performed at the National Institute of...

A novel apparatus to measure reflected sunlight from the Moon

Author(s)
Claire E. Cramer, Gerald T. Fraser, Keith R. Lykke, John T. Woodward IV, Alan W. Smith
We describe a new apparatus for measuring the spectral irradiance of the Moon at visible wavelengths. Our effort builds upon the United States Geological Survey...

High quantum-efficiency photon-number-resolving detector for photonic on-chip information processing

Author(s)
Brice R. Calkins, Paolo L. Mennea, Adriana E. Lita, Benjamin Metcalf, Steven Kolthammer, Antia A. Lamas-Linares, Justin Spring, Peter C. Humphreys, Richard P. Mirin, James Gates, Peter Smith, Ian Walmsley, Thomas Gerrits, Sae Woo Nam
The integrated optical circuit is a promising architecture for the realization of complex quantum optical states and information networks. One element that is...

On integer solutions of x^4+y^4-2z^4-2w^4=0

Author(s)
Dustin Moody, Arman S. Zargar
In this article, we study the quartic Diophantine equation x^4+y^4-2z^4-2w^4=0. We find non-trivial integer solutions. Furthermore, we show that when a solution...

Spectral response of an upconversion detector and spectrometer

Author(s)
Paulina S. Kuo, Oliver T. Slattery, Yong-Su Kim, Jason S. Pelc, M. M. Fejer, Xiao Tang
We theoretically and experimentally investigate the spectral response of an upconversion detector and discuss implications for its use as an infrared...

Spiral Resonators for On-Chip Laser Frequency Stabilization

Author(s)
Scott A. Diddams, Hansuek Lee, Myoung-Gyun Suh, Tong Chen, Jiang Li, Kerry J. Vahala
Frequency references are indispensable to radio, microwave, and time keeping systems, with far reaching applications in navigation, communi- cation, remote...

An atomic clock with 10-18 instability

Author(s)
Andrew D. Ludlow, Nathan M. Hinkley, Jeffrey A. Sherman, Nate B. Phillips, Marco Schioppo, Nathan D. Lemke, Kyle P. Beloy, M Pizzocaro, Christopher W. Oates
Atomic clocks have been transformational in science and technology, leading to innovations such as global positioning, advanced communications, and tests of...
