Ultra low quantum decoherence nano-optomechanical systems

Thermal motion of a room-temperature mechanical resonator typically dominates the quantum backaction of its position measurement. This is a longstanding barrier for exploring cavity optomechanics at room temperature. In order to enter the quantum regime of ...

A Deep Etching Mechanism for Trench-Bridging Silicon Nanowires

Yusuf Leblebici, Zuhal Tasdemir

Introducing a single silicon nanowire with a known orientation and dimensions to a specific layout location constitutes a major challenge. The challenge becomes even more formidable, if one chooses to realize the task in a monolithic fashion with an extrem ...

Synthesizing efficient systems in probabilistic environments

Barbara Jobstmann, David Parker

We present a formalism, algorithms and tools to synthesise reactive systems that behave efficiently, i.e., which achieve an optimal trade-off between a given cost and reward model. Synthesis aims to automatically generate a program from a specification. Mo ...
