Practical implementation of a test of event-based corpuscular model as an alternative to quantum mechanics

May 8, 2013
Author(s)
Sergey V. Polyakov, Alan L. Migdall, Ivo P. Degiovanni, Fabrizio Piacentini, Giorgio Brida, Marco Genovese, Paola Traina
We describe in detail the first experimental test that distinguishes between an event-based corpuscular model of the interaction of photons with matter and quantum mechanics. The test looks at the interference that results as a single photon passes through

The Mathematics of Datums

January 1, 1990
Author(s)
Ted Hopp
Datums have been one of the most difficult problems the Group has dealt with. With the definition outlined, we feel we now have the problem under control. While our definition is not perfect, we can live with it. We are now in the process of expanding this

Quantum-based vacuum metrology at NIST

June 20, 2018
Author(s)
Julia K. Scherschligt, James A. Fedchak, Zeeshan Ahmed, Daniel S. Barker, Kevin O. Douglass, Stephen P. Eckel, Edward T. Hanson, Jay H. Hendricks, Thomas P. Purdy, Jacob E. Ricker, Robinjeet Singh
The measurement science in realizing and disseminating the SI unit for pressure, the pascal (Pa), has been the subject of much interest at NIST. Modern optical-based techniques for pascal metrology have been investigated, including multi-photon ionization
