Interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) is a non-local, radiationless de-excitation process that has garnered widespread interest owing to its ubiquity, its intriguing nature, and its relevance for applications. Predicted in 1997 [1], it was first observed in photoexcited neon clusters and has, over the course of the years, been demonstrated in a large number of systems, including atomic and...
Trapped ions are an ideal platform for the quantum simulation of various models of interacting quantum matter. In this talk, I will give an overview of quantum simulations with trapped ions, where coherent time evolution competes with incoherent operations, such as the measurement and reset of the quantum state of only a part of the system. Such ‘mid-circuit’ measurement and reset operations...
Backward Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) in gases offers a promising means to amplify short laser pulses to high energies while avoiding damage to the gain medium that solid state amplifiers experience. To optimize the yield of such amplifiers, modeling codes are required. In the high-pressure regime hydrodynamic theory using the Navier-Stokes model has been shown to agree with...
Anemia, characterized by reduced Hemoglobin (Hb) or red blood cell count, affects a quarter of the world’s population by diminishing the body’s ability to transport oxygen. Quick diagnostic time is of the essence for this preventable and curable disease. The state-of-the-art anemia diagnoses are Automated Hematology Analyzers. Their high cost and long diagnostic time are the price for their...
