High-fidelity laser-free universal control of two trapped ion qubits

R. Srinivas, S. C. Burd, H. M. Knaack +9

Universal control of multiple qubits -- the ability to entangle qubits and to perform arbitrary individual qubit operations -- is a fundamental resource for quantum computation, si…

Reduction of anomalous heating in an in-situ-cleaned ion trap

D. A. Hite, Y. Colombe, A. C. Wilson +7

Anomalous heating of trapped atomic ions is a major obstacle to their use as quantum bits in a scalable quantum computer. The physical origin of this heating is not fully understoo…

Optical and infrared flares from a transient Galactic soft gamma-ray repeater

A. J. Castro-Tirado, A. de Ugarte Postigo, J. Gorosabel +33

Soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are a rare type of gamma-ray transient sources that are ocasionally detected as bursts in the high-energy sky. They are thought to be produced by ma…

The Afterglows of Swift-era Gamma-Ray Bursts II.: Type I GRB versus Type II GRB Optical Afterglows

D. A. Kann, S. Klose, B. Zhang +21

We use a large sample of GRB afterglow and prompt-emission data (adding further GRB afterglow observations in this work) to compare the optical afterglows (or the lack thereof) of…

The Afterglows of Swift-era Gamma-Ray Bursts. I. Comparing pre-Swift and Swift era Long/Soft (Type II) GRB Optical Afterglows

D. A. Kann, S. Klose, B. Zhang +73

We have gathered optical photometry data from the literature on a large sample of Swift-era gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows including GRBs up to September 2009, for a total of 76…
