Nonlinear Optics Quantum Computing with Circuit QED

Author(s)
Prabin Adhikari, Mohammad Hafezi, Jacob Taylor
One approach to quantum information processing is to use photons as quantum bits and rely on linear optical elements for most operations. However, some optical

Thermococcus kodakarensis DNA replication

Author(s)
Zvi Kelman, Lori Kelman, Zhuo Li
DNA replication plays an essential role in all life forms. Research on archaeal DNA replication began about twenty years ago. Progress was hindered, however, by

A One-Kilogram Quartz Resonator as a Mass Standard

Author(s)
David A. Howe, J Vig
The unit of mass, the kilogram, is the last remaining SI base unit defined by an artifact” [1]. This artifact, the primary mass standard, suffers from long term
