Emergence of highly coherent two-level systems in a noisy and dense quantum network

Quantum sensors and qubits are usually two-level systems (TLS), the quantum analogues of classical bits assuming binary values 0 or 1. They are useful to the extent to which superpositions of 0 and 1 persist despite a noisy environment. The standard prescr ...

Long-Distance Coherent Propagation of High-Velocity Antiferromagnetic Spin Waves

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Jilei Chen, Yao Zhang, Song Liu, Rundong Yuan, Cheng Song

We report on coherent propagation of antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin waves over a long distance (similar to 10 mu m) at room temperature in a canted AFM alpha-Fe2O3 owing to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). Unprecedented high group velocities (up ...

The diachronic development of Debussy’s musical style: a corpus study with Discrete Fourier Transform

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Johannes Hentschel, Gabriele Cecchetti, Sabrina Laneve, Ludovica Schaerf

Claude Debussy’s personal style is typically characterised as a departure from earlier diatonic tonality, including a greater variety of pitch-class materials organised in fragmented yet coherent compositions. Exploiting the music-theoretical interpretabil ...

Long-distance coherent propagation of magnon polarons in a ferroelectric-ferromagnetic heterostructure

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Peng Chen, Jilei Chen, Jianyu Zhang, Yao Zhang, Song Liu, Jinlong Wang

We experimentally demonstrate the coherent propagation of magnon polarons, the hybridized excitations formed by the coupling of spin waves and Rayleigh/Love surface acoustic waves, in a heterostructure consisting of ferroelectric BaTiO3 and ferromagnetic L ...

Low-Loss Anisotropic Image Polaritons in van der Waals Crystal alpha-MoO3

Sergejs Boroviks

Orthorhombic molybdenum trioxide (alpha-MoO3), a newly discovered polaritonic van der Waals crystal, is attracting significant attention due to its strongly anisotropic mid-infrared phonon-polaritons. At the same time, coupling of polariton with its mirror ...

The quantum future of microscopy: Wave function engineering of electrons, ions, and nuclei

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Thomas La Grange, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Simone Gargiulo

The ability to manipulate particles has always been a fundamental aspect for developing and improving scattering and microscopytechniques used for material investigations. So far, microscopy applications have mostly relied on a classical treatment of the e ...

Three-dimensional wind-turbine wake characterization via tomographic particle-image velocimetry

Fernando Porté Agel, Arslan Salim Dar

Wind turbines are often sited on different topographical features. In the current work, we performed wind-tunnel measurements of the wake behind a single wind turbine sited on two escarpments differing in the windward side shape using tomographic particle- ...

Diffractive small angle X-ray scattering imaging for anisotropic structures

Goran Lovric, Marco Stampanoni

Insights into the micro- and nano-architecture of materials is crucial for understanding and predicting their macroscopic behaviour. In particular, for emerging applications such as meta-materials, the micrometer scale becomes highly relevant. The micro-ar ...

Broadband Efficient Soliton Microcombs in Pulse-Driven Photonic Microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Tobias Herr, Miles Henry Anderson, Sylvain Karlen

Broadband single-soliton based frequency combs, with a detectable repetition rate of 28 GHz, are efficiently generated through pulse-driving of a chip-based Si3N4 microresonator. We observe an influence of the pulse-driving rate on the comb mode linewidth. ...

Spatial coherence properties of an LED-based illumination system for mask-aligner lithography

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Raoul Kirner, Johana Bernasconi

A high-power LED-based illumination system has been developed as a replacement for the mercury arc lamps used in mask-aligner lithography. LEDs are arranged in a grid array and placed in the entrance aperture of individual reflectors. Those reflectors decr ...

Cortico-Muscular Coherence Is Reduced Acutely Post-stroke and Increases Bilaterally During Motor Recovery: A Pilot Study

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Serafeim Perdikis, Tiffany Corbet

Motor recovery following stroke is believed to necessitate alteration in functional connectivity between cortex and muscle. Cortico-muscular coherence has been proposed as a potential biomarker for post-stroke motor deficits, enabling a quantification of r ...

Experimental Investigation of the Effect of EDFA-Generated ASE Noise added to the Pump of a Kerr Frequency Comb

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Fatemeh Alishahi, Arne Kordts, Lin Zhang, Ahmad Fallahpour

We experimentally investigate the effect of EDFA-induced pump ASE noise on cavity-soliton Kerr combs for 64-QAM transmission. We find that all comb optical carrier-to-noise ratios (OCNRs) are similar with a fixed pump OCNR and comb linewidths almost remain ...
