Topological charge pumping with subwavelength Raman lattices

February 15, 2023
Author(s)
Ian Spielman, Gediminas Juzeliunas, Domantas Burba, mantas Raciunas
Recent experiments demonstrated deeply subwavelength lattices using atoms with $N$ internal states Raman-coupled with lasers of wavelength $\lambda$. The resulting unit cell was $\lambda/2N$ in extent, an $N$-fold reduction compared to the usual $\lambda/2

Optical and microwave metrology at the 10-18 level with an Er/Yb:glass frequency comb

February 5, 2023
Author(s)
Nicholas Nardelli, Holly Leopardi, THOMAS SCHIBLI, Tara Fortier
Optical frequency combs are an essential tool for precision metrology experiments ranging in application from remote spectroscopic sensing of trace gases to the characterization and comparison of optical atomic clocks for precision time-keeping and

Multiscale Green's functions for modeling graphene and other Xenes

January 27, 2023
Author(s)
Vinod Tewary, Edward Garboczi
We give a review of the multiscale Green's function method for modeling modern two-dimensional nanomaterials such as graphene and other Xenes. The method is applicable to materials at different space and time scales and is computationally efficient. This

Time Transfer using High-Definition Television (HDTV) Broadcast Transmitters in Common View

January 23, 2023
Author(s)
Konstantin Tarasov, Bethany Bauer, Sebastian Olsen, Eugene Graver, Howard Feil, Jeffrey Sherman, Aidan Montare, Matthew J. Deutch, Glenn Nelson, Michael A. Lombardi, Timothy Marczewski, David A. Howe
We have developed and demonstrated a time transfer system using high-definition television (HDTV) broadcast signals in common view. The system is comprised of a software defined radio (SDR), a TV antenna, a digitally programmed crystal oscillator (DOCXO)

Photonic Online Learning: A Perspective

January 9, 2023
Author(s)
Sonia Buckley, Alexander Tait, Adam McCaughan, Bhavin Shastri
Neuromorphic systems promise to solve certain problems faster and with higher energy efficiency than traditional computing, by using the physics of the devices themselves for information processing. While initial results in photonic neuromorphic hardware

Symmetry-dependent ultrafast manipulation of nanoscale magnetic domains

December 23, 2022
Author(s)
Nanna Hagstrom, Rahul Jangid, F. N. U. Meera, Diego Turenne, Jeffrey Brock, Erik Lamb, Boyan Stoychev, Justine Schlappa, Natalia Gerasimova, Benjamin Van Kuiken, Rafael Gort, Laurent Mercadier, Loic Le Guyader, Andrey Samartsev, Andreas Scherz, Giuseppe Mercurio, Hermann Durr, Alexander Reid, Monika Arora, Hans Nembach, Justin Shaw, Emmanuelle Jal, Eric Fullerton, Mark Keller, Roopali Kukreja, Stefano Bonetti, Thomas J. Silva, Ezio Iacocca
Symmetry is a powerful concept in physics, but its applicability to far-from-equilibrium states is still being understood. Recent attention has focused on how far-from-equilibrium states lead to spontaneous symmetry breaking. Conversely, ultrafast optical

Precise Quantum Measurement of Vacuum with Cold Atoms

December 20, 2022
Author(s)
Daniel Barker, Bishnu Acharya, James A. Fedchak, Nikolai Klimov, Eric Norrgard, Julia Scherschligt, Eite Tiesinga, Stephen Eckel
We describe the cold-atom vacuum standards (CAVS) under development at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The CAVS measures pressure in the ultra-high and extreme-high vacuum regimes by measuring the loss rate of sub-millikelvin sensor

Crystallization Kinetics in an Immiscible Polyolefin Blend

December 12, 2022
Author(s)
Derek Huang, Anthony Kotula, Chad R. Snyder, Kalman Migler
Motivated by the problem of brittle mechanical behavior in recycled blends of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and isotactic polypropylene (iPP), we employ optical microscopy, rheo-Raman, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to measure the

New Ritz Wavelengths and Transition Probabilities for Parity-Forbidden, Singly Ionised Nickel [Ni ii] Lines of Astrophysical Interest Christian P.

December 12, 2022
Author(s)
Christian P. Clear, Peter Uylings, Ton Raassen, Gillian Nave, Juliet C. Pickering
We report accurate Ritz wavelengths for parity-forbidden [Ni ii] transitions, derived from energy levels determined using high-resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy. Transitions between the 17 lowest Ni ii energy levels of even parity produced Ritz

Efficient chip-based optical parametric oscillators from 590 nm to 1150 nm

December 2, 2022
Author(s)
Jordan Stone, Xiyuan Lu, Gregory Moille, Kartik Srinivasan
Optical parametric oscillators are a ubiquitous technology used to generate coherent light at frequencies not accessible by conventional laser gain. However, chip-based parametric oscillators operating in the visible spectrum have suffered from pump-to

The Mathematics of Quantum Coin-Flipping

December 1, 2022
Author(s)
Carl A. Miller
An expository article (aimed at the general mathematics community) about quantum cryptography and the philosophy of applied mathematics. The article focuses on quantum coin-flipping, a research problem that has a particularly long history.

Elemental excitations in MoI3 one-dimensional van der Waals nanowires

November 28, 2022
Author(s)
Fariborz Kargar, Zahra Barani, Nicholas Sesing, Thuc Mai, Topojit Debnath, Huairuo Zhang, Yuhang Liu, Yanbing Zhu, Subhajit Ghosh, Adam Biacchi, Felipe H. da Jornada, Ludwig Bartels, Tehseen Adel, Angela R. Hight Walker, Albert Davydov, Tina Salguero, Roger Lake, Alexander Balandin
We report the polarization-dependent Raman spectrum of exfoliated MoI3, a van der Waals material with a "true one-dimensional" crystal structure that can be exfoliated to individual atomic chains. The temperature evolution of several Raman features reveals
