The \Romanc} Space Telescope will carry out a wide-field imaging and slitless spectroscopic survey of TypeIa Supernovae to achieve one of its main goals, improving our understanding of dark energy. Crucial to this endeavor is obtaining a spectra of the

Development of high-speed, spatial-mapping spectrometers in the millimeter and far-infrared frequencies would enable entirely new research avenues in astronomy and cosmology. An "on-chip" spectrometer is one such technology that could enable Line Intensity

We report high-precision frequency ratio measurements between optical atomic clocks based on 27Al+, 171Yb, and 87Sr. With total fractional uncertainties at or below 3.2 × 10−18, these measurements meet the milestone criteria for redefinition of the second

We demonstrate a suppression of the light shift in a Coherent-Population-Trapping (CPT) atomic magnetometer by using linearly polarized light and a differential measurement between magnetic resonances. The radio frequency that creates the optical sidebands
Using a combination of band representation analysis, inelastic neutron scattering (INS), magneto-Raman spectroscopy measurements, and linear spin wave theory, we determine that the non-coplanar antiferromagnet MnTe2 hosts symmetry-protected topological

One method of determining the free neutron lifetime involves the absolute counting of neutrons and trapped decay protons. In such experiments, a cold neutron beam traverses a segmented proton trap inside a superconducting solenoid while the neutron flux is

We reconstruct X-ray fluorescence signals produced by synchrotron X-rays. In our method, we select the complexity of a Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse by a data-driven method, and study how systematic errors affect results for simulated data.
As space exploration extends into cislunar space and further towards Mars, understanding the relativistic effects on clocks on Mars—particularly in relation to multi-body gravitational influences—becomes increasingly important for accurate clock

Trapped ions are a leading candidate for the "stationary qubits" of a quantum network. However, thus far remote entanglement rates have primarily been limited by low photon collection efficiency. In this work, we propose an architecture for a long-range

We study the impact of an unshielded dielectric\textemdash here, a bare optical fiber\textemdash on a $^40}$Ca$^+}$ ion held several hundred $\mu$m away in a cryogenic surface electrode trap. We observe distance-dependent stray electric fields of up to a
Guinier analysis has been extensively used in academic and industrial research settings since the 1940s to obtain the model-independent size of a polymer, protein, or colloid in solution from small-angle scattering data. Using the Guinier model, the radius

Quantum coherence in superconducting circuits has increased steadily over the last decades because of a growing understanding of the various loss mechanisms. Recently, tantalum (Ta) emerged as a promising material to address microscopic sources of loss fou
