Large-area nanopore drilling is a major bottleneck in state-of-the-art nanoporous 2D membrane fabrication protocols. In addition, high-quality structural and statistical descriptions of as-fabricated porous membranes are key to predicting the corresponding

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) coupled to quantum dots (QDs), trapped atoms and ions, and point defects have been proposed as quantum transduction platforms, yet the requisite coupling rates and cavity lifetimes have not been experimentally established

Classical machine learning (ML) provides a potentially powerful approach to solving challenging quantum many-body problems that arise in physics and chemistry, but the advantages of ML over more traditional classical methods have not been firmly

Nontrivial topology in lattices is characterized by invariants---such as the Zak phase for one-dimensional (1D) lattices---derived from wave functions covering the Brillouin zone. We realized the 1D bipartite Rice--Mele (RM) lattice using ultracold 87-Rb

Laser cooling is a key ingredient for quantum control of atomic systems in a variety of settings. In two-valence-electron atoms, two-stage Doppler cooling is typically used to bring atoms to the μK regime. Here, we implement a pulsed radial cooling scheme
We present parameter-multiplexed gradient descent (PMGD), a perturbative gradient descent framework designed to easily train emergent neuromorphic hardware platforms. We show its applicability to both analog and digital systems. We demonstrate how to use
Variational autoencoders (VAEs) are rapidly gaining popularity within molecular simulation for discovering low- dimensional, or latent, representations, which are critical for both analyzing and accelerating simulations. However, it remains unclear how the

We have used a calibrated, wide-field hyperspectral imaging instrument to obtain absolute spectrally and spatially resolved photoluminescence images in high growth-rate, rear-junction GaAs solar cells from 300 K to 77 K. At the site of some localized
We present a computational and theoretical framework for solving the Schrödinger equation (SE) for the two–center Coulomb problem in prolate spheroidal coordinates when the energy of the SE is positive. A general and robust computer code has been produced

The advent of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) has revolutionized fundamental science, from atomic to condensed matter physics, from chemistry to biology, giving researchers access to X-rays with unprecedented brightness, coherence, and pulse duration
Extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) has evolved into an unprecedented technique for local structural determination in material, chemical, and physical problems in materials science. Just as for other experimental techniques, such as x-ray and

Modern design of common adhesives, composites and polymeric parts makes use of polymer glasses that are stiff enough to maintain their shape under a high stress while still maintaining a ductile behavior after the yield point. Typically, material

We investigate the solution and osmotic properties of uncharged compact nanogel particles over a wide range of solvent qualitiy and particle concentration by molecular dynamics simulation. The in uence of the solvent quality is characterized by changes in

High-resolution spectra of singly ionized nickel (Ni II) have been recorded using Fourier transform spectroscopy in the region 143–5555 nm (1800–70,000 cm−1) with continuous, nickel–helium hollow cathode discharge sources. An extensive analysis of

Silicon-containing diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a class of thin-film materials with excellent mechanical properties, high thermal stability, and good tribological performance over a wide range of environmental conditions. While non-alloyed/non-doped DLCs

Trapped ions boast long coherence times, and excellent gate fidelities, making them a useful platform for quantum information processing. Scaling to larger numbers of ion qubits, potentially solved by photonic interconnects between Paul traps, or by

We experimentally realized a time-periodically modulated 1D lattice for ultracold atoms featuring a pair of linear bands, each associated with a Floquet winding number: a topological invariant. These bands are spin-momentum locked and almost perfectly
