Astronomical random numbers for quantum foundations experiments [PDF]
Photons from distant astronomical sources can be used as a classical source of randomness to improve fundamental tests of quantum nonlocality, wave-particle duality, and local realism through Bell's inequality and delayed-choice quantum eraser tests ...

An overview of the planned CCAT software system [PDF]
CCAT will be a 25m diameter sub-millimeter telescope capable of operating in the 0.2 to 2.1mm wavelength range. It will be located at an altitude of 5600m on Cerro Chajnantor in northern Chile near the ALMA site.

Josephson junction detector for astronomical applications [PDF]
A wide-band detector for the 1.0 to 1.6 mm atmospheric transmission window has been developed for astronomical observations at the McDonald Observatory 2.7 m optical telescope. For observations of continuum astronomical sources, the relevant figure of merit is the « Noise Equivalent Temperature » or δ Trms.

The Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: Data Reduction System [PDF]
IRIS (InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph) is the diffraction-limited first light instrument for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) that consists of a near-infrared (0.84 to 2.4 $\mu$m) imager and integral field spectrograph (IFS). The IFS makes use of a lenslet
