Hi-C scaffolded short- and long-read genome assemblies of the California sea lion are broadly consistent for syntenic inference across 45 million years of evolution

June 7, 2021
Author(s)
Claire R. Peart, Christina Williams, Saurabh Pophaly, Jeremy Johnson, Ben Neely, Frances Gulland, David Adams, Bee Ng, William Cheng, Joseph Hoffman, Matthew Breen, Jochen Wolf
With the advent of chromatin-interaction maps, chromosome-level genome assemblies have become a reality for a wide range of organisms. Scaffolding quality is, however, difficult to judge. To explore this gap, we generated multiple chromosome-scale genome

Ray-based framework for state identification in quantum dot devices

June 7, 2021
Author(s)
Justyna Zwolak, Thomas McJunkin, Sandesh Kalantre, Samuel Neyens, Evan MacQuarrie, Mark A. Eriksson, Jacob Taylor
Quantum dots (QDs) defined with electrostatic gates are a leading platform for a scalable quantum computing implementation. However, with increasing numbers of qubits, the complexity of the control parameter space also grows. Traditional measurement

VEMOS: A GUI for Evaluation of Similarity Metrics on Complex Data Sets

June 7, 2021
Author(s)
Gunay Dogan, Eve Fleisig
Similarity and dissimilarity metrics are a fundamental component of many tasks requiring the analysis and comparison of complex, often visual data. Applications from deep learning to forensics require ways to effectively identify images, find clusters or

Interfacing Photonics to Free-Space via Large-area Inverse-designed Diffraction Elements and Metasurfaces

June 6, 2021
Author(s)
Alexander Yulaev, Wenqi Zhu, Chad Ropp, Daron Westly, Gregory Simelgor, Cheng Zhang, Henri Lezec, Amit Agrawal, Vladimir Aksyuk
Large-area inverse-designed photonic gratings and optical metasurfaces directly couple waveguides to wide free-space modes with custom wavefronts and polarizations in the visible and near-infrared. Design, modeling methods and experimental results are

Rapid Identification of Synthetic Routes to Functional Metastable Phases Using X-Ray Probed Laser Anneal Mapping (XPLAM) Time-Temperature Quench Maps

June 6, 2021
Author(s)
Robert T. Bell, Peter A. Beaucage, Marc J. Murphy, Aine Connolly, David Ginley, Ulrich Wiesner, R. B. Van Dover, Michael O. Thompson
Most material systems have known or predicted functional phases that are metastable at standard temperature and pressure. While substantial advances have been made in the high-throughput and combinatorial synthesis of materials with a range of

A new measurement of the 122Sb half-life

June 5, 2021
Author(s)
Giancarlo D'Agostino, Marco Di Luzio, Nicholas Sharp, Massimo Oddone
Following significant discrepancies observed in rescaling collected 122Sb -peak count rates to a reference time by decay corrections, we looked at the literature supporting the presently recommended 2.7238(2) d 122Sb half-life value. The reading

NIST PSCR: Economic Impact Analysis

June 4, 2021
Author(s)
Lou Nadeau, Ph.D., Melanie Sands, Douglas Lyons, Clara Berger, Sarah Hughes
NIST's Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division is the primary federal laboratory focused on conducting research, development, testing, and evaluation for public safety communications technologies. Their mission is to accelerate communications

The Evolving Temperature Field in a 1 m Methanol Pool Fire

June 4, 2021
Author(s)
Jian Chen, Kunhyuk Sung, Zhigang Wang, Andy Tam, Ki Yong Lee, Anthony Hamins
Thin filament pyrometry is used to measure the time-varying temperature field in a 1 m methanol pool fire. A digital camera with optical filters and zoom lens recorded the emission intensity of an array of 12 µm Silicon-Carbide filaments oriented

Coupling an epitaxial quantum dot to a fiber-based external-mirror microcavity

June 3, 2021
Author(s)
Andreas Muller, Edward B. Flagg, Michael Metcalfe, John R. Lawall, Glenn S. Solomon
We report the coupling of individual InAs quantum dots (QDs) to a single mode of an external-mirror optical microcavity. The external mirror is bonded to a fiber and positioned above a semiconductor sample consisting of a QD-containing GaAs layer grown

Exact Tile-Based Segmentation Inference for Images Larger than GPU Memory

June 3, 2021
Author(s)
Michael P. Majurski, Peter Bajcsy
We address the problem of performing exact (tiling-error free) out-of-core semantic segmentation inference of arbitrarily large images using fully convolutional neural networks (FCN). FCN models have the property that once a model is trained, it can be

Heterodyne measurement of resonant elastic scattering from epitaxial quantum dots

June 3, 2021
Author(s)
Michael Metcalfe, Glenn S. Solomon, John Lawall
Resonant elastic scattering from InAs quantum dots (QDs) is studied by heterodyne spectroscopy. We show theoretically that heterodyne spectroscopy of a two-level quantum emitter is not sensitive to the inelastic fluorescence component. In practice, we

High-performance semiconductor quantum dot-single- photon sources

June 3, 2021
Author(s)
Glenn S. Solomon
Single photons are a key, fundamental element of most quantum optical technologies, be it for the development of large-scale quantum communication networks, for quantum simulation, or for connecting quantum memories in a quantum computer. The ideal single

Photonic quantum simulations of SSH-type topological insulators with perfect state transfer

Mary Burdette-Trofimov, Beth Armstrong, Ryan Murphy, Luke Heroux, Mathieu Doucet, Alexander Rogers, Gabriel Veith
This work explores the complex interplay between slurry aggregation, agglomeration, and conformation (i.e. shape) of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and lithiated poly(acrylic acid) (LiPAA) based silicon slurries as a function of shear rate, and the resulting

Yabin Fan, Joseph Finley, Jiahao Han, Megan E. Holtz, Patrick Quarterman, Pengxiang Zhang, Taqiyyah S. Safi, Justin T. Hou, Alexander Grutter, Luqiao Liu
One important goal of magnonics is to discover novel wave properties of magnons, which are quanta of collective excitation in magnets, to make it compatible for application on coherent information transmission and processing1,2. However, thin-film
