Two-Level-System Dynamics in a Superconducting Qubit Due to Background Ionizing Radiation [PDF]
PRX Quantum, 2022 Superconducting qubit lifetimes must be both long and stable to provide an adequate foundation for quantum computing. This stability is imperiled by two-level systems (TLSs), currently a dominant loss mechanism, which exhibit slow spectral dynamics that ...

The intrinsic B-mode polarisation of the cosmic microwave background [PDF]
, 2014 . We estimate the B-polarisation induced in the Cosmic Microwave Background by the non-linear evolution of density perturbations. Using the second-order Boltzmann code SONG, our analysis incorporates, for the first time, all physical effects at ...

Chocolatine: Outage Detection for Internet Background Radiation [PDF]
Traffic Monitoring and Analysis, 2019 The Internet is a complex ecosystem composed of thousands of Autonomous Systems (ASs) operated by independent organizations; each AS having a very limited view outside its own network. These complexities and limitations impede network operators to finely

Low Background Radiation Detection Techniques and Mitigation of Radioactive Backgrounds
Frontiers of Physics, 2020 The study of rare fundamental physics phenomena, such as double-beta decay, rare nuclear decays and dark matter, requires very low levels of background radiation in order to observe a signal.

Stringent Limit on Primordial Magnetic Fields from the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2018 Primordial magnetic fields (PMFs), being present before the epoch of cosmic recombination, induce small-scale baryonic density fluctuations. These inhomogeneities lead to an inhomogeneous recombination process that alters the peaks and heights of the ...
