We study the effect of charge and spin noise on singlet-triplet qubits in Si quantum dots. We set up a theoretical framework aimed at enabling experiment to efficiently identify the most deleterious defects, and complement it with the knowledge of defects
We report on a proposal to change the group velocity upon colliding two atomic Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs) in analogy to slowing of light passing through dispersive media. We make use of ultracold collisions near a magnetic Feshbach resonance, which

We demonstrate a symmetric, single-spatial mode, single-photon heralding efficiency of 84% for a type-II spontaneous parametric downconversion process. This achievement of high efficiency, single-spatial mode collection is key to enabling many quantum

It is commonly assumed that, after an electron-hole pair is created in a semiconductor by absorption of a photon, the electron and hole rapidly relax to their respective lowest-energy states before recombining with one another. In semiconductor

The violation of a Bell inequality is an experimental observation that forces the abandonment of a local realistic viewpoint - namely, one in which physical properties are (probabilistically) defined before and independently of measurement, and in which no

We study the dynamics of macroscopically-coherent matter waves of an ultra-cold atomic spin-1 or spinor condensate on a ring lattice of six sites and demonstrate a novel type of spatio-temporal internal Josephson effect. Using a discrete solitary mode of
We develop an interferometric technique for measuring quadrature operators of nonequilibrium states of ultracold atoms in optical lattices. The technique exploits the internal state structure of magnetic atoms to create two subsystems of atoms in different

We present electrical data of silicon single electron devices fabricated with CMOS techniques and protocols. The easily tuned devices show clean Coulomb diamonds at T = 30 mK and charge offset drift of 0.01 e over eight days. In addition, the devices

We design, fabricate, and study a novel platform for cavity optomechanics: a silicon nitride membrane patterned as a sub-wavelength diffraction grating. Using the grating as one mirror of a Fabry-Perot cavity, we realize an optical finesse of $F=2830\pm 60

A wide spectrum of topics was presented in talks at this conference: quantum foundations (especially, Heisenberg's uncertainty relation and its generalizations) and information, mathematical formalism of quantum theory, philosophy, methodology of

This special issue accompanies the 5th international conference on single-photon technologies held at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Germany, in June 2011. This community has met every two years at national metrology institutes, starting

When a Ne:H2O2 mixture is codeposited at 4.3 K with a beam of neon atoms that have been excited in a microwave discharge, three new, photosensitive absorptions appear which can be assigned to the three infrared-active fundamentals of trans-HOOH+. When the

Historically, searches for new astronomical molecules resulted in the detection of favorable, high line strength transitions based on a thermal approximation to the excitation of these species in interstellar environments. Given the temperatures of hot
