Low contact resistance in epitaxial graphene devices for quantum metrology
AIP Advances, 2015 We investigate Ti/Au contacts to monolayer epitaxial graphene on SiC (0001) for applications in quantum resistance metrology. Using three-terminal measurements in the quantum Hall regime we observed variations in contact resistances ranging from a ...

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.Coherence variation is ubiquitous in nature, yet determining how it constrains physical observables remains challenging for multimode waves. To address this challenge, this work establishes a majorization‐based theory that identifies the supremum and infimum in the set of input coherence spectra, which provide optimal universal bounds for any linear ...

Reference-frame-independent quantum metrology
Physical Review ResearchHow can we perform a metrological task if only limited control over a quantum system is given? Here, we present systematic methods for conducting nonlinear quantum metrology in scenarios lacking a common reference frame.

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.Chip‐based frequency combs are usually pumped from telecom wavelengths, far from the visible. This work instead pumps close to the visible with a Ti:sapphire laser ‐ the source behind the original optical frequency combs and now becoming chip‐integrable‐ and lets silicon‐nitride waveguides convert it into efficient, octave‐spanning visible‐to‐infrared ...

Fractional Shapiro steps in a cavity-coupled Josephson ring condensate
Physical Review ResearchThe Josephson effect presents a fundamental example of macroscopic quantum coherence as well as a crucial enabler for metrology (e.g., voltage standard), sensing (e.g., superconducting quantum interference device), and quantum information processing ...

Dissipative quantum metrology in manybody systems of identical particles
New Journal of Physics, 2014 Estimation of physical parameters is essential in almost any part of science and technology. The enhancement of performance in this task (e.g. beating the standard classical shot-noise limit) using available physical resources is a major goal in ...

Precision-guaranteed quantum metrology [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2015 Quantum metrology is a general term for methods to precisely estimate the value of an unknown parameter by actively using quantum resources. In particular, some classes of entangled states can be used to significantly suppress the estimation error. Here, we derive a formula for rigorously evaluating an upper bound for the estimation error in a general ...

Small, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Scanning transmission x‐ray microscopy (STXM) is a nanoscale imaging technique that can utilize several powerful contrast mechanisms for the quantitative mapping of chemical and physical materials properties. Spatial resolutions down to 7 nm at the soft x‐ray energy range have been demonstrated.
