Benchmarking exchange-only control of a 48-spin singlet manifold

HRL Quantum Team, Microsoft Collaborators, : +125

Exchange-only quantum computing benefits from high fidelity and straightforward control afforded by the exchange interaction. However, independently controllable qubits must be enc…

A tabletop x-ray tomography instrument for nanometer-scale imaging: demonstration of the 1,000-element transition-edge sensor subarray

Paul Szypryt, Nathan Nakamura, Daniel T. Becker +28

We report on the 1,000-element transition-edge sensor (TES) x-ray spectrometer implementation of the TOMographic Circuit Analysis Tool (TOMCAT). TOMCAT combines a high spatial reso…

Quantification of 242Pu with a Microcalorimeter Gamma Spectrometer

David J. Mercer, Ryan Winkler, Katrina E. Koehler +18

We report measurements of the 103-keV and 159-keV gamma ray signatures of 242Pu using microcalorimetry. This is the first observation of these gamma rays in a non-destructive measu…

New Experimentally Observable Gamma-ray Emissions from 241Am Nuclear Decay

Katrina E. Koehler, Michael D. Yoho, Matthew H. Carpenter +16

With the high resolution of microcalorimeter detectors, previously unresolvable gamma-ray lines are now clearly resolvable. A careful measurement of Am-241 decay with a large array…

Improved Plutonium and Americium Photon Branching Ratios from Microcalorimeter Gamma Spectroscopy

Michael D. Yoho, Katrina E. Koehler, Daniel T. Becker +15

Photon branching ratios are critical input data for activities such as nuclear materials protection and accounting because they allow material compositions to be extracted from mea…

A Model for Excess Johnson Noise in Superconducting Transition-edge Sensors

Abigail Wessels, Kelsey Morgan, Daniel T. Becker +9

Transition-Edge Sensors (TESs) are two-dimensional superconducting films used to detect energy or power. TESs are voltage biased in the resistive transition where the film resistan…
