Evaluation of sources of variability in a nitric oxide screening assay for engineered nanomaterials

November 18, 2025
Author(s)
Tariq Fahmi, Robert Gutierrez, Ana Barrios, Tae Joon Cho, John Elliott, Sanghamitra Majumdar, Bryant Nelson, Aaron Johnston-Peck, Alessandro Tona, Anil Patri, Elijah Petersen
Assays to detect potential biocompatibility issues can play a key role in supporting the development of new technologies such as medical products containing engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). In this paper, we describe an evaluation of sources of uncertainty

Robust Two-Qubit Geometric Phase Gates using Amplitude and Frequency Ramping

November 18, 2025
Author(s)
Christina Bowers, Deviprasath Palani, John Barta, Tyler Guglielmo, Stephen Libby, Dietrich Leibfried, Daniel Slichter
We demonstrate a method for generating entanglement between trapped atomic ions based on adiabatically ramped state-dependent forces. By ramping both the amplitude of the state-dependent force and the motional mode frequencies, we realize an entangling

Towards a quantum repeater using a surface-trap-integrated microcavity and trapped ions

November 18, 2025
Author(s)
Lindsay Sonderhouse, Margaret Bruff, Kaitlyn David, Daniel Slichter, Dietrich Leibfried
Trapped ions are a leading candidate for the "stationary qubits" of a quantum network. However, thus far remote entanglement rates have primarily been limited by low photon collection efficiency. In this work, we propose an architecture for a long-range

Compatibility of trapped ions and dielectrics at cryogenic temperatures

November 17, 2025
Author(s)
Margaret Bruff, Lindsay Sonderhouse, Kaitlyn David, Daniel Slichter, Dietrich Leibfried, Jules Stuart
We study the impact of an unshielded dielectric\textemdash here, a bare optical fiber\textemdash on a $^40}$Ca$^+}$ ion held several hundred $\mu$m away in a cryogenic surface electrode trap. We observe distance-dependent stray electric fields of up to a

Population-resolved measurement of an avoided crossing of light-dressed states

November 17, 2025
Author(s)
Noah Schlossberger, Nikunjkumar Prajapati, Eric Norrgard, Stephen Eckel, Christopher Holloway
A two-level system coupled by a coherent field is a ubiquitous model in atomic and molecular physics. While the resulting avoided crossing of light-dressed states has been extensively probed spectroscopically, such measurements typically reveal only the

Charge-state dependent ion condensation near conjugated polymer backbones

November 15, 2025
Author(s)
Dilara Meli, Quentin Thomas, Guillaume Freychet, Lucas Flagg, Iain McCulloch, David Beljonne, Lee Richter, Jonathan Rivnay
Despite the technological appeal of organic mixed ionic/electronic conductors (OMIECs) for a range of applications, a deep understanding of the fundamentals of mixed charge transport in these materials, especially regarding the ionic component, is lacking

Single-photon time-of-flight measurements for benchmarking time transfer in quantum networks

November 14, 2025
Author(s)
Dongxing He, Paulina Kuo, YaShian Li-Baboud, Anouar Rahmouni, Matthew Shaw, Boris Korzh, Thomas Gerrits
We propose a single-photon time-of-flight (ToF) measurement method to benchmark fiber-path delay estimation in optical two-way time and frequency transfer (OTWTFT) protocols. The single-photon ToF measurement yields uncertainties better than 2 ps (0.5 mm

A fault-tolerant neutral-atom architecture for universal quantum computation

November 10, 2025
Author(s)
Dolev Bluvstein, Alexandra Geim, Sophie Li, Simon Evered, J. Pablo Bonilla Ataides, Gefen Baranes, Andi Gu, Tom Manovitz, Muqing Xu, Marcin Kalinowski, Shayan Majidy, Christian Kokail, Nishad Maskara, Elias C Trapp, Luke Stewart, Simon Hollerith, Hengyun Zhou, Michael Gullans, Susanne Yelin, Markus Greiner, Vladan Vuletic, Madelyn Cain, Mikhail Lukin
Quantum error correction (QEC) is believed to be essential for the realization of large-scale quantum computers. However, due to the complexity of operating on the encoded 'logical' qubits, understanding the physical principles for building fault-tolerant

AI and Flow Cytometry

November 10, 2025
Author(s)
Dawei Lin, Anupama Gururaj, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Lili Wang
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming biotechnology and playing a key role in bioeconomy. One of the most important measurement capabilities at the forefront of biotechnology innovations is flow cytometry (FCM), a high

Harmonization Model & Implementation of Interactions among IoT Devices

November 6, 2025
Author(s)
Yuyin Song, Thomas Roth, Peter Waher, Helbert da Rocha, Riccardo Brama, Hiroaki Nishi, Antonio Espirito-Santo
The Internet of Things (IoT) is highly heterogeneous regarding smart sensors/devices, connectivity, communication protocols, and data formats. The major challenges of IoT ecosystems are fragmentation (or disintegration) and cross-domain interoperability

Multi-timescale Frequency-Phase Matching for High-Yield Nonlinear Photonics

November 6, 2025
Author(s)
Mahmoud Jalali Mehrabad, Lida Xu, Gregory Moille, Christopher Flower, Supratik Sarkar, Apurva Padhye, Shao-Chien Ou, Daniel Suarez-Ferero, Mahdi Ghafariasl, Yanne K. Chembo, Kartik Srinivasan, Mohammad Hafezi
Integrated nonlinear photonics struggles to deliver wafer-scale functional device yields: Nanometer-level fabrication variations compromise the strict frequency-phase matching mandated by energy- and momentum-conserving nonlinear processes. We introduce

The IEEE 1451 Playground: A Web-Based Tool for Standard Education

November 6, 2025
Author(s)
Yuyin Song, Helbert da Rocha, Antonio Espirito-Santo, Riccardo Brama
The technical standards are employed in everyday tasks, such as connection to the internet or with nearby devices. The process to learn a new technical standard is difficult and needs time, as the standards have complex documentation that needs to be

The structure and morphology of single-component oligomeric RNA delivery vectors derived from amphiphilic Charge-Altering Releasable Transporters

November 6, 2025
