Lightsolver challenges a leading deep learning solver for Max-2-SAT problems

Hod Wirzberger, Assaf Kalinski, Idan Meirzada +4

Maximum 2-satisfiability (MAX-2-SAT) is a type of combinatorial decision problem that is known to be NP-hard. In this paper, we compare LightSolver's quantum-inspired algorithm to…

Quantum Sparse Coding

Yaniv Romano, Harel Primack, Talya Vaknin +5

The ultimate goal of any sparse coding method is to accurately recover from a few noisy linear measurements, an unknown sparse vector. Unfortunately, this estimation problem is NP-…

Effect of ion-trap parameters on energy distributions of ultra-cold atom-ion mixtures

Meirav Pinkas, Ziv Meir, Tomas Sikorsky +3

The holy grail of ion-neutral systems is reaching the s-wave scattering regime. However, most of these systems have a fundamental lower collision energy limit which is higher than…

Strong angular-momentum mixing in ultracold atom-ion excitation-exchange

Ruti Ben-Shlomi, Romain Vexiau, Ziv Meir +5

Atom-ion interactions occur through the electric dipole which is induced by the ion on the neutral atom. In a Langevin collision, in which the atom and ion overcome the centrifugal…

Phase-locking between different partial-waves in atom-ion spin-exchange collisions

Tomas Sikorsky, Masato Morita, Ziv Meir +6

We present a joint experimental and theoretical study of spin dynamics of a single Sr ion colliding with an ultracold cloud of Rb atoms in various hyperfine states. Whil…

Direct observation of atom-ion non-equilibrium sympathetic cooling

Ziv Meir, Meirav Pinkas, Tomas Sikorsky +3

Sympathetic cooling is the process of energy exchange between a system and a colder bath. We investigate this fundamental process in an atom-ion experiment where the system is comp…

Single-shot energy measurement of a single atom and the direct reconstruction of its energy distribution

Ziv Meir, Tomas Sikorsky, Nitzan Akerman +3

An ensemble of atoms in steady-state, whether in thermal equilibrium or not, has a well defined energy distribution. Since the energy of single atoms within the ensemble cannot be…
