Insrument capabilities have evolved over the past 40 or so years to the point where, today, both relative and absolute measurements can nowbe made. at the parts
We discuss the application of the Discrete Variable Representation to Schr dinger problems which involve singular Hamiltonians. Unlike recent authors which

In this letter we discuss the insecurity with present implementations of the Ekert protocol for quantum-key distribution based on the Wigner Inequality. We
NIST scientists participate in a variety of nanotechnology activities, several of which are summarized here. The drive toward both ever-smaller integrated
X-ray analytical methods with high angular resolution are becoming increasingly important for the characterization of materials used in ULSI fabrication

A comparison of spectral diffuse reflectance between different national standards laboratories is being planned under the direction of the Comit* Consultatif de
The divergent perturbation series for the LoSurdo--Stark effect has purely real coefficients. By contrast, the energy eigenvalue of the quasistationary states
The calculational methods in atomic structure are currently capable of providing the level of accuracy close to that of the most precise experiments. The
The rotational spectra of ethyl, n-propyl and n-butylbenzene have been observed and analyzed using a high-resolution Fourier transform microwave spectrometer

Photopolymerization is implemented to crosslink and stabilize vesicles and nanotubes composed of amphiphilic block copolymer chains. Stabilized membranes of
In their recent paper [Phys. Rev. A 71, 033622], B. T. Seaman et al. studied Bloch states of the condensate wave function in a Kronig-Penney potential and
Fires and second generation InSb radiometers have been developed and characterized to hold the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) spectral
Wavelengths of the individual fine-structure components of the n=1-2(Ly alpha), n=1-3(Ly beta), n=1-4(Ly gamma), n=1-5(Ly delta), n=1-6(Ly epsilon), n=1-7(Ly xi
Laser cooling processes are theoretically investigated for a cascade scheme where the upper state decays more slowly than the intermediate one. A laser coupling
Absolute gravity measurements offer teh possibility of measuring vertical height changes (the subject of this meeting) at the centimeter level. Today's absolute
Accurate, reproducible measurement of radioactivity in nuclear medicine applications is vital to ensuring the safety and effectiveness of disease diagnosis and
A quantum bit is a closed two-dimensional Hilbert space, but often experimental systems have three or more energy levels. In a Josephson phase qubit the energy
Linear coupling between solid-state quantum resonators generates entanglement and squeezing effectively. We study the coupled system of a nanomechanical
Low frequency noise presents a serious source of decoherence in solid- state qubits. When combined with a continuous weak measurement of the eigenstates of a
We present our latest results on the ultrasensitive molecular overtone spectroscopy using the cavity-enhanced frequency modulation (FM) technique. The principle

Using beam-foil spectroscopy, we have observed several new lines in the B IV and B V spectra. This experimental work was combined with theoretical calculations
We have made accurate measurements near 157 nm of the relative index of refraction, its dispersion, and its temperature dependence for two grades of calcium
