Abstract Photonic qubits should be controllable on-chip and noise-tolerant when transmitted over optical networks for practical applications. Furthermore, qubit sources should be programmable and have high brightness to be useful for quantum algorithms and grant resilience to losses. However, widespread encoding schemes only combine at most two of these properties. Here, we overcome this [...]
Silica Particle Size Standards In today’s semiconductor metrology labs, the wafer inspection tools, use high powered lasers to scan 200 mm and 300 mm silicon wafers to detect surface particles down to < 30 nanometers. When calibrating high laser power scanning systems, the size calibration is extremely important, in order to detect at 30 [...]
Silica particles can be used in a variety of pharmaceutical applications such as drug delivery. A new application seems to support studies in increasing fat metabolism using 1 micron diameter silica spheres. Because obesity is a problem for many people around the world, medical research is looking for ways that the body can pass [...]
