Doubly parametric quantum transducers, such as electro-optomechanical devices, show promise for providing the critical link between quantum information encoded in highly disparate frequencies such as in the optical and microwave domains. This technology

Fast, efficient, and low-power modulation of light at microwave frequencies is crucial for chip-scale classical and quantum processing as well as for long-range networks of superconducting quantum processors. A successful approach to bridge the gap between

A (2+1)-dimensional gapped quantum many-body system can have a topologically protected energy current at its edge. The magnitude of this current is determined entirely by the temperature and the chiral central charge c_-, a quantity associated with the

The microwave cavities of NIST-F1, the cesium fountain primary frequency standard at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), have been replaced with a new design. The distributed cavity phase (DCP) bias of the new cavity must be
Abstract: The present article describes a complete re-analysis of all published data on observed spectral lines and energy levels of the first three spectra of actinium (Ac I–III). In Ac I, three previously determined energy levels have been rejected, 12

We propose and demonstrate a protocol for high-fidelity indirect readout of trapped ion hyperfine qubits, where the state of a 9Be+ qubit ion is mapped to a 25Mg+ readout ion using laser-driven Raman transitions. By partitioning the 9Be+ ground-state

An array of Josephson junctions (JJs) was driven with photonically generated current pulses to synthesize a high-fidelity 1 kHz bipolar voltage waveform with a quantum-based amplitude that can be directly related to fundamental constants. A photodiode
Quantum information science harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to realize computational algorithms with complexities vastly intractable by current computer platforms. Typical applications range from quantum chemistry to optimization problems and

A Green's function formalism has been applied to solve the equations of motion in classical molecular dynamics simulations. This formalism enables larger time scales to be probed for vibration processes in carbon nanomaterials. In Green's function

Coherent population trapping (CPT) in atomic vapors using all-optical interrogation has enabled the miniaturization of microwave atomic clocks. Light shifts induced by the CPT driving elds can impact the spectral pro le of CPT resonances and are a common

This manuscript describes the design of a robust, mode-locked laser based, mid-infrared dual- comb spectrometer operating in the 3.1-µm to 4-µm spectral window. The design represents an improvement in signal-to-noise, system size, power consumption and

The standard uncertainty of detector-based radiance and irradiance responsivity calibrations in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) traditionally has been limited to around 1 % or higher by the low spatial uniformity of detectors used to transfer the scale from
