Decoherence in Josephson Qubits from Dielectric Loss

Author(s)
John M. Martinis, Ken B. Cooper, Robert Mcdermott, Matthias Steffen, Markus Ansmann, Kevin Osborn, Katarina Cicak, Seongshik Oh, David P. Pappas, Raymond Simmonds, Clare Yu
Dielectric loss from two-level states is shown to be a dominant decoherence source in superconducting quantum bits. Depending on the qubit design, dielectric...

Whisker & Hillock Formation on Sn, Sn-Cu and Sn-Pb Electrodeposits

Author(s)
William J. Boettinger, C E. Johnson, Leonid A. Bendersky, Kil-Won Moon, Maureen E. Williams, Gery R. Stafford
Bright Sn, Sn-Cu and Sn-Pb layers, 3, 7 and 16 mm thick were electrodeposited on phosphor bronze cantilever beams in a rotating disk apparatus. Over a period of...

Timothy M. Korter, M B. Campbell, M C. Beard, Edwin J. Heilweil
Terahertz (THz) absorption spectra of the amino acids L-serine and L-cysteine in teh solid phase at 77K and 298 K are reported and compared to vibrational...

Reversible axial-strain effect in Y-Ba-Cu-O coated conductors

Author(s)
Najib Cheggour, John (Jack) W. Ekin, C. L. H. Thieme, Y Y. Xie, V Selvamanickam, Ron Feenstra
The recently discovered reversible strain effect in Y-Ba-Cu-O (YBCO) coated conductors contrasts with the general understanding that the effect of strain on...

Secure Messaging in BACnet

Author(s)
David G. Holmberg
A proposal for BACnet secure messaging is nearing public release by the BACnet standard committee (ASHRAE SSPC-135). The proposal adds a level of BACnet...

Bulk Viscosity of Stirred Xenon Near the Critical Point

Author(s)
Keith A. Gillis, Iosif I. Shinder, Michael R. Moldover
Following Gillis, Shinder, and Moldover [Phys. Rev. E 70, 021201 (2004)], we deduce the thermophysical properties of near-critical xenon from measurements of...

Characterization of Candle Flames

Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Matthew F. Bundy, Scott E. Dillon
Common household open flame and radiant ignition sources are the actual or suspected cause for many fires. The purpose of this research is to identify the...
