Advances in sensing technology raise the possibility of creating neural interfaces that can more effectively restore or repair neural function and reveal fundamental properties of neural information processing. To realize the potential of these

We describe our progress in the development of a novel gas flow standard using the acoustic and microwave resonances of a 1.85 m3, nearly-spherical, steel vessel at pressures up to 7 MPa. For flow calibrations using pressure and acoustic frequency
The famous Cowan's book "The Theory of Atomic Structure and Spectra" published in 1981 and his suite of computer codes based on it continue to be highly influential in atomic physics and many other researchareas. As of September 2018, there are more than

We examine the performance of various time propagation schemes using a one-dimensional model of the hydrogen atom. In this model, the exact coulomb potential is replaced by a soft-core interaction. The model has been shown to be a reasonable representation

On going efforts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in creating a Cold Atom Vacuum Sensor device have prompted theoretical investigations of atom-molecule collisions processes that characterize its operation. Such a device will operate

We present a compact, cost-effective, and all-digital implementation of a scanning transfer cavity lock (STCL) for long term laser frequency stabilization. An interrupt-based, event-centric state machine is employed to realize the STCL, with the capability

Quantum simulations with ultracold atoms typically create atomic wavefunctions with structure at optical length scales, where direct imaging suffers from the diffraction limit. In analogy to advances in optical microscopy for biological applications, we

To improve the physical completeness of the data previously calculated [Schultz et al. ADNDT 113, 1 (2016)] to enable modeling of the effects of secondary electrons produced by energetic ion precipitation at Jupiter, we extend the treatment to include

Penning traps, with their ability to control planar crystals of tens to hundreds of ions, are versatile quantum simulators. Thermal occupations of the motional drumhead modes, transverse to the plane of the ion crystal, degrade the quality of quantum

The density of states is a concept that is ubiquitous in classical and quantum physics, since it quantifies the energy distribution of states available in a system. Spectroscopic means allow its measurement over the entirety of a system's energy spectrum
