Visualizing Mathieu-Type Dynamics in a Tabletop Magnetic Trap: A Coil-Driven Parametric Oscillator
William Ho, Anna Klales, Daniel Davis +4
We present a tabletop demonstration of dynamic stabilization and ponderomotive-like trapping using a pair of sinusoidally-driven anti-Helmholtz coils and a suspended permanent magn…
The 2025 Roadmaps for the US Magnet Development Program
Lance Cooley, Paolo Ferracin, Steve Gourlay +21
The US Physics community completed the Snowmass planning process in 2022, culminating in the HEPAP Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) publishing its summary report…
Improving Transmon Qubit Performance with Fluorine-based Surface Treatments
Michael A. Gingras, Bethany M. Niedzielski, Kevin A. Grossklaus +21
Reducing materials and processing-induced decoherence is critical to the development of utility-scale quantum processors based on superconducting qubits. Here we report on the impa…
Demonstrating Dynamic Stability in Paul Traps: Exploring Rotating Saddles with Liquid Nitrogen Droplets
Laurel Barnett, Aidan Carey, Robert Hart +3
Rotating saddle potentials provide a compelling visual demonstration of dynamic stability, widely used in undergraduate physics as mechanical analogs to the RF Paul trap. Tradition…
