The standardization of 99Tc by several primary methods was investigated. This was performed to support a new 99Tc transfer standard that has been developed and
Many phase transitions exhibit ordering transitions at the boundary of the material that are distinct from the interior where the intermolecular interactions
We present a method to synthesize an arbitrary quantum state of two superconducting resonators. This state-synthesis algorithm utilizes a coherent interaction
