Rydberg states of alkali atoms in atomic vapor as SI-traceable field probes and communications receivers

May 8, 2024
Author(s)
Noah Schlossberger, Nik Prajapati, Samuel Berweger, Andrew Rotunno, Aly Artusio-Glimpse, Abrar Sheikh, Eric Norrgard, Christopher L. Holloway, Stephen Eckel
Rydberg states of alkali atoms are highly sensitive to electric fields because their electron wavefunction has a large spatial extent, leading to large polarizabilities for static fields and large transition dipole moments for time-varying fields

Rydberg states of alkali atoms are highly sensitive to electric fields because their electron wavefunction has a large spatial extent, leading to large polarizabilities for static fields and large transition dipole moments for time-varying fields

Single-electron states of phosphorus-atom arrays in silicon

May 8, 2024
Author(s)
Maicol Ochoa, Keyi Liu, Michal Zielinski, Garnett W. Bryant
We characterize the single-electron energies and the wavefunction structure of arrays with two, three, and four phosphorus atoms in silicon by implementing atomistic tight-binding calculations and analyzing wavefunction overlaps to identify the single

Usability for Poll Workers: A Voting System Usability Test Protocol

May 8, 2024
Author(s)
Dana Chisnell, Sharon J. Laskowski, Karen Bachmann, Svetlana Z. Lowry
In this paper, we discuss our efforts to develop a repeatable test protocol for assessing usability for poll workers – temporary election officials who ensure secure and private voting in voting places. The research described in this paper is part of a

Access Control on NoSQL Databases
