We use a graphical representation of stabilizer states to describe, simply and efficiently, the effect of measurements of Pauli products on stabilizer states...
This paper studies the joint distribution of frequencies of several overlapping words in a Markov sequence. Usually, characteristics of this distribution are...
A gas saturation apparatus capable of simultaneous measurements on eighteen samples was used for this work. The vapor pressures of 2-nitrotoluene (2-NT), 3...
This paper is an erratum that corrects some typographical errors in our earlier paper "Parametric interatomic potential for graphene" by V.K. Tewary and B. Yang...

We demonstrate a new approach to measuring high-order temporal coherences that uses a four-element superconducting nanowire single-photon detector. The four...
The vibrations of the cold finger of a low-vibration helium pulse-tube cryostat are measured from 1 Hz to 20 kHz using an optical interferometer specially...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Low Pressure Manometry Project maintains and operates primary standard ultrasonic interferometer...
