For high T c superconducting multilayer applications, smooth interfaces between the individual layers are required. However, in general, e.g., YBaCuO grows in a 3D screw-dislocation or island nucleation growth mode, introducing a surface roughness. In this
Ion traps allow researchers to control the position and movement of charged particles with exquisite precision, and provide a powerful way to study many atomic phenomena.

We show how maximally correlated states of N two-level particles can be used in spectroscopy to yield a frequency uncertainty equal to (NT)-1, where T is the time of a single measurement. From the time-energy uncertainty relation we show that this is the

Fabrication of a two-dimensional array of nanometer-scale chromium features on a silicon substrate by laser-focused atomic deposition is described. Features 13plus or minus}1 nm high and having a full-width at half maximum of 80plus or minus}10 nm are

We have recently used stimulated-Raman transitions in the resolved sideband regime to cool single ions to the n = 0 zero-point energy. This has allowed realizations of the Jaynes-Cummings model interaction for atomic motion and a quantum controlled-NOT
