Next-generation trapped-ion quantum computing system

Conference Quantum 2.0: Proceedings Optica Quantum 2.0 Conference and Exhibition · January 1, 2023 In this work we discuss the progress of commissioning the next-generation trapped-ion quantum computing system. Heating rates, coherence times, background gas collision rates, individual-addressing cross-talk and other factors contributing to the gate fide ... Full text Cite

Exchange bias without directional anisotropy in permalloy/CoO bilayers

Journal Article Physical Review B · October 1, 2021 We utilize transverse ac susceptibility measurements to characterize magnetic anisotropy in archetypal exchange-bias bilayers of ferromagnet permalloy (Py) and antiferromagnet CoO. Unidirectional anisotropy is observed for thin Py but becomes negligible at ... Full text Open Access Cite

Analysis of useful ion yield for Si in GaN by secondary ion mass spectrometry

Journal Article Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B · July 1, 2020 The optimum detection levels that can be achieved by a secondary ion mass spectrometer are dependent on how efficiently a particular species of interest can be ionized and detected. One can determine in advance whether the analysis of a particular ion in t ... Full text Cite
