Quantum radiometry

Author(s)
Sergey V. Polyakov, Alan L. Migdall
We review radiometric techniques that take advantage of photon counting and stem from the quantum laws of nature. We present a brief history of metrological

The IMS 2009 "Bonus Issue"

Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley
This is an Editorial for a special issue of IEEE Microwave Magazine devoted to the International Microwave Symposium. Kate Remley, the Editor-in-Chief, and two

Single-photon Sources

Author(s)
Matthew T. Rakher
Quantum-dot-based single-photon sources are fast and efficient and remain at the forefront of candidates for use in quantum information schemes.

Cut it out!

Author(s)
Isabel M. Beichl, Francis Sullivan
This is a tutorial article on a probabilistic method for finding minimum cut sets of a connected graph.

X-ray measurements at high-power lasers

Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, C.I Szabo, Paul Indelicato, G.E. Gumberidze, G Holland, John F. Seely, Albert Henins, M Audebert, S. Bastiani-Ceccotti, E. Tabakhoff, E. Brambrink
Conversion efficiencies of laser light into K x-ray radiation are used to characterize laser-solid interactions e.g. in measurements with back-lighter targets

Reference Ballistic Chronograph

Author(s)
Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., Donald R. Larson
A ballistic chronograph with a measurement uncertainty of less than +/- 0.1 m/s has been designed, constructed and tested. Because of this low uncertainty, this

In-plane bias in a patterned ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic bilayer

Author(s)
Yury P. Kabanov, Valerian I. Nikitenko, Oleg A. Tikhomirov, William F. Egelhoff Jr., Alexander J. Shapiro, Robert D. Shull
Exchange bias in bi- and multilayer magnetic systems is usually ascribed to the existence of transient magnetic structures at the interfaces between adjacent

Practical long-distance quantum key distribution system using decoy levels

Author(s)
Danna Rosenberg, Charles G. Peterson, Jim A. Harrington, Patrick R. Rice, N. Dallman, K. T. Tyagi, K. P. McCabe, Sae Woo Nam, Burm Baek, Robert Hadfield, Richard J. Hughes, Jane E. Nordholt
Quantum key distribution (QKD) has the potential for widespread real-world applications, but no secure long-distance experiment has demonstrated the truly
