Observation of two-beam collective scattering phenomena in a Bose-Einstein condensate
Ivana Dimitrova, William Lunden, Jesse Amato-Grill +7
New phenomena of collective light scattering are observed when an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate is pumped by two non-interfering beams counterpropagating along its long axis.…
Graduate Training in Quantum Information Science and Engineering: Lessons, Challenges, and a Roadmap from the NSF Research Traineeship Programs
Yohannes Abate, Victor Acosta, Alessandro Alabastri +31
Since 2019, eighteen NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) awards in quantum information science and engineering (QISE) and adjacent fields have been funded, constituting the largest NSF-…
Construction of Fractal Order and Phase Transition with Rydberg Atoms
Nayan E. Myerson-Jain, Stephen Yan, David Weld +1
We propose the construction of a many-body phase of matter with fractal structure using arrays of Rydberg atoms. The degenerate low energy excited states of this phase form a self-…
Energy Harvesting with a Liquid-Metal Microfluidic Influence Machine
Christopher Conner, Tim de Visser, Joshua Loessberg +6
We describe and demonstrate a new energy harvesting technology based on a microfluidic realization of a Wimshurst influence machine. The prototype device converts the mechanical en…
Roadmap on Integrated Quantum Photonics
Galan Moody, Volker J. Sorger, Daniel J. Blumenthal +52
Integrated photonics is at the heart of many classical technologies, from optical communications to biosensors, LIDAR, and data center fiber interconnects. There is strong evidence…
Photoacoustic ultrasound sources from diffusion-limited aggregates
Krutik Patel, Morgan Brubaker, Alexander Kotlerman +3
Metallic diffusion-limited aggregate (DLA) films are well-known to exhibit near-perfect broadband optical absorption. We demonstrate that such films also manifest a substantial and…
