Mark Siemens University of Denver, Department of Physics & Astronomy Abstract: Entangled photons are a valuable resource for quantum logic, imaging, and information theory. While measuring entangled state amplitudes is relatively straightforward with coincidence-based correlation filters, the entangled state phases have received relatively little attention – despite the important role that phases play in defining […]

Raymond Ladbury NASA Abstract: Watching a part fail while radiation testing is not an uncommon experience.  However, when the previous testing on your part suggests that protons are too feebly ionizing to kill your part and it dies anyway…that will make you sit up and take notice!  And when your billion-dollar satellite is already flying […]

Ronald Fernando Garcia Ruiz Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Physics Abstract: A precise understanding of the interaction between the atomic nucleus and its bound electrons enables the exploration of physical phenomena across a wide range of energy scales. Atoms and molecules containing nuclei with extreme proton-to-neutron ratios can be artificially created to amplify and study […]
