Developing Next-generation Brain Sensing Technologies - A Review

July 22, 2019
Author(s)
Jacob T. Robinson, Eric Pohlmeyer, Malte C. Gather, Caleb Kemere, John Kitching, George G. Malliaras, Adam Marblestone, Kenneth L. Shepard, Thomas Stieglitz, Chong Xie
Advances in sensing technology raise the possibility of creating neural interfaces that can more effectively restore or repair neural function and reveal fundamental properties of neural information processing. To realize the potential of these

Progress Towards a Gas-Flow Standard using Microwave and Acoustic Resonances

July 15, 2019
Author(s)
Jodie Gail Pope, Keith A. Gillis, Michael R. Moldover, Eric Harman, James Mehl
We describe our progress in the development of a novel gas flow standard using the acoustic and microwave resonances of a 1.85 m3, nearly-spherical, steel vessel at pressures up to 7 MPa. For flow calibrations using pressure and acoustic frequency

Cowan code: 50 years of growing impact on atomic physics

July 2, 2019
Author(s)
Alexander Kramida
The famous Cowan's book "The Theory of Atomic Structure and Spectra" published in 1981 and his suite of computer codes based on it continue to be highly influential in atomic physics and many other researchareas. As of September 2018, there are more than

Microcontroller based scanning transfer cavity lock with environmental compensation

April 22, 2019
Author(s)
Sarthak Subhankar, Alessandro Restelli, Yang Wang, Steve Rolston, James V. Porto
We present a compact, cost-effective, and all-digital implementation of a scanning transfer cavity lock (STCL) for long term laser frequency stabilization. An interrupt-based, event-centric state machine is employed to realize the STCL, with the capability

Nanoscale Atomic Density Microscopy

April 1, 2019
Author(s)
Sarthak Subhankar, Yang Wang, Tsz-Chun Tsui, Steven Rolston, James V. Porto
Quantum simulations with ultracold atoms typically create atomic wavefunctions with structure at optical length scales, where direct imaging suffers from the diffraction limit. In analogy to advances in optical microscopy for biological applications, we

Data for secondary electron production from ion precipitation at Jupiter II: Simultaneous and non-simultaneous target and projectile processes in collisions of Oq+ + H2 (q=0-8)

March 15, 2019
Author(s)
David R. Schultz, Heman Gharibnejad, Thomas Cravens, Stephen Houston
To improve the physical completeness of the data previously calculated [Schultz et al. ADNDT 113, 1 (2016)] to enable modeling of the effects of secondary electrons produced by energetic ion precipitation at Jupiter, we extend the treatment to include

Modeling near ground-state cooling of two-dimensional ion crystals in a Penning trap using electromagnetically induced transparency

February 7, 2019
Author(s)
Athreya Shankar, Elena Jordan, Kevin Gilmore, Arghavan Safavi-Naini, John J. Bollinger, Murray Holland
Penning traps, with their ability to control planar crystals of tens to hundreds of ions, are versatile quantum simulators. Thermal occupations of the motional drumhead modes, transverse to the plane of the ion crystal, degrade the quality of quantum

An energy-resolved atomic scanning probe

November 21, 2018
Author(s)
Daniel S. Gruss, Chih-Chun Chien, Julio T. Barreiro, Massimiliano Di Ventra, Michael P. Zwolak
The density of states is a concept that is ubiquitous in classical and quantum physics, since it quantifies the energy distribution of states available in a system. Spectroscopic means allow its measurement over the entirety of a system's energy spectrum
