The Bose-Einstein condensate

Author(s)
Eric A. Cornell, C E. Wieman
In June 1995, our research group at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics in Bolder, Colorado, succeeded in creating a miniscule but marvelous droplet

Absolute Silicon Photodiodes for 160 nm to 254 nm Photons

Author(s)
L R. Canfield, Robert E. Vest, R Korde, H Schmidtke, R Desor
Silicon n-on-p photodiodes with 100% internal efficiency have been studied in the 160 nm to 254 nm range. Preliminary values for the quantum yield of silicon, a

Using Computers to Describe Style

Author(s)
Russell A. Kirsch
Human beings have a poorly understood ability to recognize patterns in their environment. Sometimes this ability is vital to survival. Sometimes it is the

Rapidly Renewable Lap: Theory and Practice

Author(s)
Christopher J. Evans, R E. Parks, David J. Roderick, Michael L. McGlauflin
The rapidly renewable lap (RRL) uses a textured substrate over which thin films are slumped. The substrate provides the geometry of the lap and a localized

Trapped-Ion Quantum Simulator,

Author(s)
David J. Wineland, C Monroe, Wayne M. Itano, B E. King, Dietrich G. Leibfried, C J. Myatt, Chris S. Wood
Coherent manipulations involving the quantized motional and internal states of a single trapped ion can be used to simulate the dynamics of other systems. We

Coherent Quantum State Manipulation of Trapped Atomic Ions

Author(s)
David J. Wineland, C Monroe, D M. Meekhof, B E. King, Dietrich G. Leibfried, Wayne M. Itano, James C. Bergquist, D J. Berkeland, John J. Bollinger, J D. Miller
A single, laser-cooled, trapped 9Be+ ion is used to investigate methods of coherent quantum-state synthesis. We create and characterize nonclassical states of

Experimental Primer on the Trapped Ion Quantum Computer,

Author(s)
David J. Wineland, C Monroe, Wayne M. Itano, B E. King, Dietrich G. Leibfried, D M. Meekhof, C J. Myatt, Chris S. Wood
The development of a quantum computer based on a system of trapped atomic ions is described, following the proposal of Cirac and Zoller. Initial results on a

Issues in Evaluation of Complex Fire Models

Author(s)
Richard D. Peacock, Paul A. Reneke, Glenn P. Forney, M. M. Kostreva
Several methods of evaluation of the predictive capability have been applied to fire models, but with limited utility. These range from explicit evaluation of

Suppression of Ignition Over a Heated Metal Surface

Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Robert P. Borthwick
The effectiveness of various agents including N2, C3HF3, C3HF7, CF3Br and CF3I was compared in suppressing the ignition of stoichiometric mixtures of methane
