PyLCP: A python package for computing laser cooling physics

September 9, 2021
Author(s)
Stephen Eckel, Daniel Barker, Eric Norrgard, Julia Scherschligt
We present a python object-oriented computer program for simulating various aspects of laser cooling physics. Our software is designed to be both easy to use and adaptable, allowing the user to specify the level structure, magnetic field profile, or the

Response Time Impact of Smoke Alarms

September 9, 2021
Author(s)
Stanley W. Gilbert, Thomas Cleary, Paul A. Reneke, Richard Peacock, David Butry
It can be assumed that smoke alarms reduce reported fires and casualties by reducing on average the amount of time it takes to detect a fire. This paper sets out to determine by how much that detection time is reduced. It does so by comparing the effect of

A Functional BCI Model by the P2731 Working Group: Transducer

September 8, 2021
Author(s)
Kamran Sayrafian, Guillermo Sahonero-Alvarez, Avinash Singh, Luigi Bianchi, Avid Roman-Gonzalez
A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) can be considered as a technology that allows for alternative means of communication between humans and their environment using thoughts and intentions. The structure of this interface is composed of various stages

Data-Based Models for Hurricane Evolution Prediction: A Deep Learning Approach

September 8, 2021
Author(s)
Rikhi Bose, Adam L. Pintar, Emil Simiu
Fast and accurate prediction of hurricane evolution from genesis onwards is needed to reduce loss of life and enhance community resilience. In this work, a novel model development methodology for predicting storm trajectory is proposed based on two classes

High-fidelity laser-free universal control of trapped ion qubits

September 8, 2021
Author(s)
Raghavendra Srinivas, Emanuel Knill, Robert Sutherland, Alexander T. Kwiatkowski, Hannah M. Knaack, Scott Glancy, David J. Wineland, Shaun C. Burd, Dietrich Leibfried, Andrew C. Wilson, David T. Allcock, Daniel Slichter
Universal control of multiple qubits—the ability to entangle qubits and to perform arbitrary individual qubit operations—is a fundamental resource for quantum computing, simulation and networking. Qubits realized in trapped atomic ions have shown the

Intramolecular Structure and Dynamics in Computationally Designed Peptide-Based Polymers Displaying Tunable Chain Stiffness

September 7, 2021
Author(s)
Nairiti Sinha, Yi Shi, Christopher J. Kloxin, Jeffery G. Saven, Antonio Faraone, Grethe V. Jensen, Darrin J. Pochan
Polymers constructed via hybrid physical-covalent assembly of computationally designed peptide coiled coils, or bundlemers, display tunable chain stiffness via control of inter-bundlemer connectivity. Neutron spin echo spectroscopy reveals that rigid rod

Recommendation system to predict missing adsorption properties of nanoporous materials

September 7, 2021
Author(s)
Arni Sturluson, Ali Raza, Grant McConachie, Daniel Siderius, Xaioli Fern, Cory Simon
Nanoporous materials (NPMs) selectively adsorb and concentrate gases into their pores and thus could be used to store, capture, and sense many different gases. Modularly synthesized classes of NPMs, such as covalent organic frameworks (COFs), offer a large

The case for a U(1) p Quantum Spin Liquid Ground State in the Dipole-Octupole Pyrochlore Ce 2 Zr 2 O 7

September 7, 2021
Author(s)
E. Smith, O. Benton, D. Yahne, B. Placke, Jonathan Gaudet, J. Dudemaine, A. Fitterman, J. Beare, A. Wildes, S. Bhattacharya, T. DeLazzer, C.R.C. Buhariwalla, Nicholas Butch, R. Movshovich, J. Garrett, C. Marjerrison, J. Clancy, E. Kermarrec, G. Luke, A. Bianchi, K. A. Ross, B. Gaulin
The Ce3 + pseudospin-1/2 degrees of freedom in the pyrochlore magnet Ce 2Zr 2O 7 are known to possess dipole-octupole (DO) character, making it a candidate for novel quantum spin liquid (QSL) ground states at low temperatures. We report new heat capacity

Developing Ideal Metalorganic Hydrides for Hydrogen Storage: From Theoretical Prediction to Rational Fabrication

September 6, 2021
Author(s)
Zijun Jing, Qinqin Yuan, Yang Yu, Xiangtao Kong, Khai C. Tan, Jintao Wang, Qijun Pei, Xue-Bin Wang, Wei Zhou, Hui Wu, Anan Wu, Teng He, Ping Chen
Materials for hydrogen storage have been extensively explored for a few decades. Thousands of hydrogen storage materials have been synthesized and tested, however, sparse systems could meet the practical requirements. Metalorganic hydrides discovered

Expansion of the High Field-Boosted Superconductivity in UTe 2 under Pressure

September 6, 2021
Author(s)
Sheng N. Ran, Shanta R. Saha, I-Lin Liu, David Graf, Johnpierre N. Paglione, Nicholas Butch
In semiclassical theory, the effect of quantized Landau levels on the critical magnetic field that destroys superconductivity is usually ignored. However, it has been theorized that the sharply enhanced density of states that occurs in extreme magnetic

Perspective: Reproducible coherence characterization of superconducting quantum devices

September 6, 2021
Author(s)
Corey Rae McRae, Joshua Combes, Gregory Stiel, Haozhi Wang, Sheng Xiang Lin, David P. Pappas, Josh Mutus
As the field of superconducting quantum computing approaches maturity, optimization of single-device performance is proving to be a promising avenue toward large-scale quantum computers. However, this optimization is possible only if performance metrics

Challenges in Setting up a Manufacturing Plant during Pandemic

September 5, 2021
Author(s)
kiwook jung, Scott Nieman, Boonserm Kulvatunyou
Pandemic of 2019 brought on many challenges. Sustaining manufacturing production is one of them. Some market segments may experience reductions in demands, while other market segments may experience explosions. Companies have to deal with these changing

Understanding molt control switches: Transcriptomic and expression analysis of the genes involved in ecdysteroidogenesis and cholesterol uptake pathways in the Y-organ of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus

September 3, 2021
Author(s)
Tracey Johnston, Elena Legrand, J. Sook Chung, Tsvetan Bachvaroff
The crustacean molting process is regulated by an interplay of hormones produced by the eyestalk ganglia and Y-organs (YO). Molt-inhibiting hormone and crustacean hyperglycemic hormone released by the sinus gland of the eyestalk ganglia (EG) inhibit the
