Author(s)
Zeeshan Ahmed
Resistance thermometry, meticulously developed over the last century, provides a time-tested method for taking temperature measurements. However, fundamental limits to resistance-based approaches along with a desire to reduce the cost of sensor ownership

Hybrid quantum edge computing network

October 4, 2022
Author(s)
Lijun Ma, Leah Ding
Edge computing network and quantum network are two emerging technologies in current communication fields. Edge computing has emerged to support the computational demand of delay-sensitive applications in which substantial computing and storage are deployed

Intrinsically accurate sensing with an optomechanical accelerometer

May 18, 2022
Author(s)
Benjamin Reschovsky, David Long, Feng Zhou, Yiliang Bao, Richard A. Allen, Jason J. Gorman, Thomas W. LeBrun
We demonstrate a microfabricated optomechanical accelerometer that is capable of percent-level accuracy without external calibration. To achieve this capability, we use a mechanical model of the device behavior that can be characterized by the thermal

Quantifying Receiver Nonlinearities in VNA Measurements for the WR-15 Waveguide Band

March 15, 2022
Author(s)
Angela Stelson, Aaron Hagerstrom, Jeffrey Jargon, Chris Long
Scattering (S-) parameters are fundamental to numerous microwave quantities including antenna factors, microwave power, and phase. The uncertainty in S-parameter measurements is influenced by the test setup, including instrument noise, drift, position of

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

Efficient qubit measurement with a nonreciprocal microwave amplifier

January 13, 2021
Author(s)
Florent Lecocq, Leonardo Ranzani, Gabriel A. Peterson, Katarina Cicak, Xiaoyue Jin, Raymond Simmonds, John Teufel, Jose Aumentado
The act of observing a quantum object fundamentally perturbs its state, resulting in a random walk toward an eigenstate of the measurement operator. Ideally, the measurement is responsible for all dephasing of the quantum state. In practice, imperfections
