Semiclassical fifth virial coefficients for improved ab initio helium--4 standards

February 15, 2012
Author(s)
Katherine Shaul, Andrew Schultz, David A. Kofke, Michael R. Moldover
For helium-4, we present ab initio, semi-classical calculations of virial coefficients Bn for for n = 2, 3, 4, and 5 from 50 K to 1000 K. Using our values of B4 and B5 and the more accurate literature values of B2 and B3, we argue that the ab initio virial

Mechanically Compliant Grating Reflectors for Optomechanics

February 10, 2012
Author(s)
Utku Kemiktarak, Michael Metcalfe, Mathieu Durand, John R. Lawall
We demonstrate micromechanical reflectors with a reflectivity as large as 99.4% and a mechanical quality factor Q as large as 7.8 x 10^5 for optomechanical applications. The reflectors are silicon nitride membranes patterned with sub-wavelength grating

Extension and new level optimization of the Ne IV spectrum

January 13, 2012
Author(s)
Alexander Kramida, C M. Brown, Uri Feldman, Joseph Reader
Spectra of Ne emitted by a Penning discharge were recorded in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) region between 140 Å and 359 Å on a 10.7 m grazing-incidence spectrograph with phosphor storage image plates. These spectra provided 33 newly identified lines of Ne

Conclusive quantum steering with superconducting transition-edge sensors

January 10, 2012
Author(s)
Devin H. Smith, Marcelo de Almeida, Gillett Geoff, Branciard Cyril, Allesandro Fedrizzi, Weinhold J. Till, Adriana Lita, Brice R. Calkins, Thomas Gerrits, Wiseman H, Sae Woo Nam, Andrew G. White
Quantum steering allows two parties to verify shared entanglement even if one measurement device is untrusted. A conclusive demonstration of steering through the violation of a steering inequality is of considerable fundamental interest and opens up

Populations of excited parabolic states of hydrogen beam in fusion plasmas

January 1, 2012
Author(s)
Oleksandr Marchuk, Yuri Ralchenko
The injection of a neutral beam into the core of magnetically confined plasmas is a foundation for various plasma diagnostics, including charge-exchange recombination spectroscopy, beam-emission spectroscopy and motional Stark effect diagnostics. We review

The Infrared Spectrum of NN...CO+ Trapped in Solid Neon

December 15, 2011
Author(s)
Warren E. Thompson, Marilyn E. Jacox
Codeposition of a Ne:N2:CO = 200:1:1 mixture at 4.3 K with a beam of very pure neon atoms excited to their energy levels between 16.6 and 16.85 eV leads to stabilization in the resulting solid of sufficient NNCO+ for detection of its NN- and CO-stretching

Unification of universal and non-universal topological quantum computation

July 26, 2011
Author(s)
Haitan Xu, Jacob Taylor
Approaches for implementing primitives for quantum computation using Read-Reyazi anyons remain computational difficult to find. We demonstrate how recently discovered approaches, including composition of anyons and deconstruction of many-qubit operations

Quantum superposition of a single microwave photon in two different colour states

July 3, 2011
Author(s)
Eva A. Zakka-Bajjani, Francois E. Nguyen, Minhyea Lee, Leila R. Vale, Raymond Simmonds, Joe Aumentado
The ability to manipulate photonic states is an important tool for quantum information processing. In cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), coupling between bosonic modes has, until now, required a qubit to mediate the interaction. As an alternative, it is

Superradiance of cold atoms coupled to a superconducting circuit

June 6, 2011
Author(s)
Daniel Braun, Jonathan Hoffman, Eite Tiesinga
We investigate superradiance of an ensemble of atoms coupled to an integrated superconducting LC-circuit. Particular attention is paid to the effect of inhomogeneous coupling constants. Combining perturbation theory in the inhomogeneity and numerical

Recent progress in spectroscopy of tungsten

May 20, 2011
Author(s)
Alexander Kramida
This contribution reviews experimental and theoretical work on spectroscopy of tungsten published since the last critical compilation of the energy levels and spectral lines of highly ionized tungsten [K09]. Since then, 15 new experimental studies were
