Quantum radio astronomy: Data encodings and quantum image processing

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Emma Elizabeth Tolley, Stefano Corda

We explore applications of quantum computing for radio interferometry and astronomy using recent developments in quantum image processing. We evaluate the suitability of different quantum image representations using a toy quantum computing image reconstruc ...

Tangentially viewing phase contrast imaging for turbulence measurements in toroidal fusion devices

Stefano Coda

Phase contrast imaging (PCI) is an established and powerful technique for measuring density fluctuations in plasmas and has been successfully applied to several fusion devices. Rooted in a concept first developed for microscopy, PCI belongs to the category ...

Model-based electron density estimation using multiple diagnostics on TCV

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Galperti

Estimation of the dynamic evolution of the electron plasma density during a tokamak discharge is crucial since it directly affects the plasma performance, confinement and stability. Therefore it needs to be monitored and controlled. Knowledge of the densit ...

Strained crystalline nanomechanical resonators with quality factors above 10 billion

Tobias Kippenberg, Sergey Fedorov, Alberto Beccari, Nils Johan Engelsen

In strained mechanical resonators, the concurrence of tensile stress and geometric nonlinearity dramatically reduces dissipation. This phenomenon, called dissipation dilution, is employed in mirror suspensions of gravitational-wave interferometers and at t ...

Stochastic gravitational-wave background from metastable cosmic strings

Valerie Fiona Domcke

A metastable cosmic-string network is a generic consequence of many grand unified theories (GUTs) when combined with cosmic inflation. Metastable cosmic strings are not topologically stable, but decay on cosmic time scales due to pair production of GUT mon ...

From NANOGrav to LIGO with metastable cosmic strings

Valerie Fiona Domcke

We interpret the recent NANOGrav results in terms of a stochastic gravitational wave background from metastable cosmic strings. The observed amplitude of a stochastic signal can be translated into a range for the cosmic string tension and the mass of magne ...

Add-Drop Multiplexing Architecture for Nyquist OTDM Signals Based on a Single Mach-Zehnder Modulator

Camille Sophie Brès, Jianqi Hu, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Simon Julien Fabbri

We propose and compare add-drop multiplexing schemes for Nyquist OTDM signals based on 1 x2 or 2 x2 Mach-Zehnder modulator. Bright and dark sinc pulse carver simultaneously provided by the modulator fulfil drop, notch and add functions. ...

Optical backaction-evading measurement of a mechanical oscillator

Tobias Kippenberg, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni

Quantum mechanics imposes a limit on the precision of a continuous position measurement of a harmonic oscillator, due to backaction arising from quantum fluctuations in the measurement field. This standard quantum limit can be surpassed by monitoring only ...

Synthesis and Analysis of Linear and Nonlinear Bianisotropic Metasurfaces

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Christophe Caloz

We present our recent progress pertaining to the synthesis and analysis of bianisotropic linear and nonlinear metasurfaces. These developments are based on the generalized sheet transition conditions (GSTCs), which provide a very complete and general metho ...

Broadband Dispersion Characterization of Chalcogenide Tapered Photonic Crystal Fiber

Camille Sophie Brès, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Sida Xing

Group-velocity dispersion of birefringent GeAsSe tapered PCF is directly measured over 1900-2300nm range using all-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer. We experimentally prove that zero-dispersion wavelength of chalcogenide PCFs can be shifted to thulium/hol ...
