Ongoing Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) Part 2: Identification

November 27, 2018
Author(s)
Patrick J. Grother, Mei L. Ngan, Kayee K. Hanaoka
This report documents performance of face recognition algorithms applied to the one-to-many identification of faces appearing in portrait images. The primary dataset is comprised of 26.6 million reasonably well controlled live photos of 12.3 million

Record High Hydrogen Storage Capacity in the Metal-Organic Framework Ni 2 (m-dobdc) at Near-Ambient Temperatures

November 27, 2018
Author(s)
Matthew T. Kapelewski, Tomce Runcevski, Jacob Daniel Tarver, Henry Z. H. Jiang, Katherine E. Hurst, Philip A. Parilla, Anthony Ayala, Thomas Gennett, Stephen A. FitzGerald, Craig Brown, Jeffrey R. Long
H 2 provides promise as a clean automobile fuel, but storage typically requires high pressure to achieve reasonable driving ranges. Adsorption of H 2 in metal-organic frameworks is one of the most well-studied applications of this class of materials due to

Spin decoherence in a two-qubit CPHASE gate: the critical role of tunneling noise

November 27, 2018
Author(s)
Peihao Huang, Neil M. Zimmerman, Garnett W. Bryant
The rapid progress in the manipulation and detection of semiconductor spin qubits enables the experimental demonstration of a high fidelity two-qubit logic gate, which is necessary for universal quantum computing. Here, we study the decoherence of two

Highly mechanosensitive ion channels from graphene-embedded crown ethers

November 26, 2018
Author(s)
Alta Y. Fang, Kenneth Kroenlein, Demian Riccardi, Alexander Smolyanitsky
The ability to tune ionic permeation across nanoscale pores profoundly impacts diverse fields from nanofluidic computing to drug delivery. Here, we take advantage of complex formation between crown ethers and dissolved metal ions to demonstrate graphene

Molecular Sieving of Ethylene from Ethane using a Rigid Metal-Organic Framework

November 26, 2018
Author(s)
Rui-Biao Lin, Libo Li, Hao-Long Zhou, Hui Wu, Chaohui He, Shun Li, Rajamani Krishna, Jinping Li, Wei Zhou, Banglin Chen
There are great challenges in developing efficient adsorbents to replace currently used and energy-intensive cryogenic distillation processes for olefin/paraffin separations, due to the similar physical properties of the two molecules. We report an

DETECTION OF INCUMBENT RADAR IN THE 3.5 GHZ CBRS BAND

November 25, 2018
Author(s)
Raied Caromi, Michael R. Souryal, Wen-Bin Yang
In the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service, 100 MHz of spectrum will be shared between commercial users and federal incumbents. Dynamic use of the band relies on a network of sensors dedicated to detecting the presence of federal incumbent signals and

Magnetotransport in highly enriched 28Si for quantum information processing devices

November 25, 2018
Author(s)
Aruna N. Ramanayaka, Ke Tang, Joseph Hagmann, Hyun S. Kim, Curt A. Richter, Joshua M. Pomeroy
Elimination of unpaired nuclear spins can result in low error rates for quantum computation; therefore, isotopically enriched 28Si is regarded as an ideal environment for quantum information processing devices. Using mass selected ion beam deposition

Validation of Single Particle ICP-MS for Routine Measurements of Nanoparticle Size and Number Size Distribution

November 25, 2018
Author(s)
Antonio R. Montoro Bustos, Premsagar P. Kavuri, Antonio M. Possolo, Natalia Farkas, Andras Vladar, Karen E. Murphy, Michael R. Winchester
Single particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) is an emerging technique capable of measuring nanoparticle size and number concentration simultaneously, of metal-containing nanoparticles (NPs) at environmentally relevant levels

Approximating vibronic spectroscopy with imperfect quantum optics

November 23, 2018
Author(s)
W.R. Clements, Jelmer Renema, Andreas Eckstein, Antonio A. Valido, Adriana Lita, Thomas Gerrits, Sae Woo Nam, Steven Kolthammer, Joonsuk Huh
We study the impact of experimental imperfections on a recently proposed protocol for performing quantum simulations of vibronic spectroscopy. Specifically, we propose a method for quantifying the impact of these imperfections, optimizing an experiment to

Recommended electron-impact excitation and ionization cross sections for Be I

November 23, 2018
Author(s)
FNU Dipti, Tapasi Das, klaus Bartschat, I Bray, D Fursa, O Zatsarinny, C Ballance, H-K Chung, Yuri Ralchenko
Analytic fits to the recommended electron-impact excitation and ionization cross sections for Be I are presented. The lowest 19 terms of configurations 2snl (n 4) and 2p2 terms below the first ionization limit are considered. The fits are based on the

Determining Carbon Fiber Composite Loading by Flip-Chip on a Coplanar Waveguide to 110GHz

November 22, 2018
Author(s)
Nina P. Basta, Jasper A. Drisko, Aaron M. Hagerstrom, Joshua A. Orlicki, Jennifer M. Sietins, Daniel B. Knorr, Jr., Edward J. Garboczi, Christian J. Long, Nathan D. Orloff
The electrical properties of materials are a necessary part of any circuit design. As applications at millimeter-wave frequen-cies increase, there is a growing need to develop new materials with low loss and multiple functionalities. Unfortunately, many

Thermodynamic analysis of the topologically close packed ? phase in the Co-Cr system

November 22, 2018
Author(s)
Peisheng Wang, Matthew C. Peters, Ursula R. Kattner, Kamal Choudhary, Gregory B. Olson
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that a thermodynamic description considering the magnetic contribution to the total energy for the end-members of the σ phase is necessary. A more straightforward method to use the DFT results in a CALPHAD

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

Quantum Process Fidelity Bounds from Sets of Input States

November 21, 2018
Author(s)
Emanuel H. Knill, Karl H. Mayer
We investigate the problem of bounding the quantum process fidelity given bounds on the fidelities between target states and the action of a process on a set of pure input states. We formulate the problem as a semidefinite program and prove convexity of

Observation of bound state self-interaction in a nano-eV atom collider

November 20, 2018
Author(s)
R Thomas, M. Chilcott, A. Deb, Eite Tiesinga, N. Kjaergaard
Quantum mechanical scattering resonances for colliding particles occur when a continuum scattering state couples to a discrete bound state between them. The coupling also causes the bound state to interact with itself via the continuum and leads to a shift
