Viewpoint: Topological Invariants Made Manifest

Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, Gediminas Juzeliunas
Topological order in some single particle cold atom systems can now be measured directly, instead of relying on proxies such as the quantized Hall conductance

Mechanical Properties of Polymer Nano-Films

Although focused ion beam (FIB) microscopy has been used successfully for milling patterns and creating ultra-thin transmission electron microscopy (TEM)

Generation and characterization of high-purity, pulsed squeezed light at telecom wavelengths from pp-KTP

Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Martin J. Stevens, Burm Baek, Brice R. Calkins, Adriana E. Lita, Scott C. Glancy, Emanuel H. Knill, Sae Woo Nam, Richard P. Mirin, Robert Hadfield, Ryan Bennink, Warren Grice, Sander N. Dorenbos, Tony Zijlstra, Teun Klapwijk, Val Zwiller
We characterize a pp-KTP crystal designed to produce pure single mode squeezed vacuum at 1570 nm. Measurements show a raw (corrected) Hong-Ou-Mandel
