The SIM time scale

Author(s)
Michael A. Lombardi, J. Mauricio Lopez-Romero, Nelida Diaz-Munoz, E. de Carlos-Lopez
Time measurement is of great importance for science, technology and commerce. Among the seven base units of the International System (SI), the second can be

Micro/nano-wear studies on epoxy/silica nanocomposites

Author(s)
Zhengzhi Wang, Ping Gu, Xiao-ping Wu, Zhong Zhang, Martin Chiang, Hui Zhang
We proposed a new method for quantifying the micro/nano-scale wear volume (i.e., volume of wear loss) in a test to characterize the wear-resistance of

Bell violation using entangled photons without the fair-sampling assumption

Author(s)
Marissa Giustina, Alexandra Mech, Sven Ramelow, Bernhard Wittman, Johannes Keffler, Joern Beyer, Adriana Lita, Thomas Gerrits, Sae Woo Nam, Rupert Ursin, Anton Zeilinger, Brice R. Calkins
The violation of a Bell inequality is an experimental observation that forces the abandonment of a local realistic viewpoint - namely, one in which physical

Reply to “Comment on "Testing Three-body Quantum Electrodynamics with Trapped Ti20+ Ions: Evidence for a Z-Dependent Divergence between Experiment and Calculation"

Lawrence T. Hudson, C T. Chantler, M N. Kinnane, John D. Gillaspy, A.T. Payne, L F. Smale, Albert Henins, Joshua M. Pomeroy, J A. Kimpton, E Takacs, K Makonyi
We find that Epp’s [1] hypothesis - namely that the current experimental data set is well represented by a small constant or zero offset from the predictions of

Hospital Readmission by Method of Data Collection

Author(s)
Elizabeth M. Hechenbleikner, Martin A. Makary, Daniel Samarov, Jennifer L. Bennett, Susan L. Gearhart, Jonathan E. Efron, Elizabeth C. Wick
Hospital readmissions are increasingly used as a metric of quality with non-payment planned for excess preventable rehospitalizations. Currently, data for pay

Reducing noise in single-photon frequency conversion

Author(s)
Paulina S. Kuo, Jason S. Pelc, Oliver T. Slattery, Yong-Su Kim, Martin M. Fejer, Xiao Tang
We demonstrate low-noise and efficient frequency conversion using sum-frequency mixing in a periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) waveguide. Using a 1556 nm pump
