Accurate lifetime predictions are critical for repurposing existing pipelines for hydrogen transmission as well as for developing novel steels which are minimally susceptible to lifetime degradation by hydrogen. Ultimately, lifetime prediction models

Many-body open quantum systems balance internal dynamics against decoherence from interactions with an environment. Here, we explore this balance via random quantum circuits implemented on a trapped-ion quantum computer, where the system evolution is
Recent advance in calculations of energy levels of the 1s2l2l' core-excited states for ions along the Li isoelectronic sequence from carbon to uranium suggested that theoretical predictions for the 1s22l-1s2l2l' transitions are significantly more precise
Discovering meaningful collective variables for enhancing sampling, via applied biasing potentials or tailored MC move sets, remains a major challenge within molecular simulation. While recent studies identifying collective variables with variational

A three-cornered hat analysis has been performed on three independent time transfer systems between the United States Naval Observatory (USNO) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). These include (1) a direct Two-Way Satellite Time
Single-photon detection via absorption in current-biased nanoscale superconducting structures has become a preferred technology in quantum optics and related fields. Single-mode fiber packaged devices have seen new records set in detection efficiency

A standard method to detect thermal neutrons is the nuclear interaction 3He(n,p)3H. The spin- dependence of this interaction is also the basis of a neutron spin-polarization filter using nuclear polarized 3He. We consider the corresponding interaction for

Methods of preparation and analysis of structured waves of light, electrons, and atoms have been advancing rapidly. Despite the proven power of neutrons for material characterization and studies of fundamental physics, neutron science has not been able to

The Airborne LUnar Spectral Irradiance (Air-LUSI) instrument is designed to make low uncertainty, hyperspectral measurements of the lunar spectral irradiance from an ER-2 aircraft from altitudes above 95 % to 99 % of the atmosphere. Measurements cover the
All available experimental data on the spectrum of singly ionized carbon have been critically analyzed. Measurement uncertainties of all published studies have been re-assessed. The scope of observational data includes laboratory emission spectra of arcs
