We present a reproducible and runtime-efficient pulse-level approach for calibrating an improved cross-resonance gate CR(θ) for arbitrary θ. This CR(θ) gate can be used to produce a wide range of other two-qubit gates via the application of standard single-qubit gates. By performing an interleaved randomised benchmarking sequence, we demonstrate that our approach leads to significantly lower incoherent errors than the circuit-level approach currently used by IBM. Hence, our procedure provides a genuine improvement for applications where noise remains a limiting factor.","PeriodicalId":20821,"journal":{"name":"Quantum Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This intrinsic degradation is typically caused by carrier injection at the interface between the hole transport layer (HTL) and the emissive layer (EML). However, revealing the charge behavior in this local region with a high spatial resolution remains challenging. Thus, this study employed electron holography, a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique, to measure the nanometer scale potential distribution inside an OLED composed of N,N′-di-[(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl]-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine (α-NPD) and tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3) that was degraded via continuous voltage application. The α-NPD and Alq3 functioned as the HTL and EML, respectively. The degraded OLED was found to exhibit several potential distributions, depending on the local positions from which the TEM samples were lifted out of the same bulk sample. The distributions included (i) formation of a potential valley at the α-NPD/Alq3 interface, (ii) disappearance of electric fields within the organic layers, and (iii) similar distribution to original before degradation. We suggest that the degradation was caused by charge accumulation, cationization of Alq3, and local failures. Thus, this study revealed the influence of electric degradation at the nanometer scale because of charge injection to the α-NPD/Alq3 interface. Electron holographic degradation analysis near the HTL/EML interface is expected to aid in the development of design guidelines for preventing device degradation and thus extend device lifetime.","PeriodicalId":8094,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142609897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lack of observational constraints on the nebular dust attenuation curve leaves a large uncertainty when correcting nebular dust attenuation with stellar continuum-based attenuation curves. Making use of the DAP catalogs of the MaNGA survey, we investigate the nebular dust attenuation of H II regions traced by the Balmer and Paschen lines. Based on a simple simulation, we find that star-forming regions on kpc scales favor the classic foreground screen dust model rather than the uniform mixture model. We propose a novel approach to fit the dust attenuation curve using the emission-line fluxes directly. For strong hydrogen recombination lines (e.g., H<i>γ<i/>, H<i>δ<i/>, and H<i>ϵ<i/>), the slopes of the nebular attenuation curve can be well determined and are found to be in good agreement with the Fitzpatrick Milky Way extinction curve with an accuracy of ≲4% in terms of the correction factor. However, severe contaminations and/or systematic uncertainties prevent us from obtaining reasonable values of the slopes for weak recombination lines (e.g., the high-order Balmer lines or the Paschen lines). We discuss how the choice of emission line measurement methods affects the results. Our results demonstrate the difficulty of deriving an average nebular dust attenuation curve given the current ground-based emission-line measurements.","PeriodicalId":8571,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142610352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our device leverages an analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency to achieve dynamic modulation of the MMPA’s perfect absorption. The MMPA achieves an impressive absorption modulation (98.1 to 34.7%) at 7.86 μm with a low driving voltage of 15 V. This modulation surpasses existing graphene-based MPAs, which typically require much higher voltages. Additionally, the MMPA exhibits a preliminary 3 dB cutoff frequency of 8.47 kHz, limited by the measurement method employed but anticipated to reach a few GHz.

Here, we report on the dynamic behavior of Pt/β-Ga2O3-based Schottky diode for power-efficient organic light emitting display (OLED). Two Schottky diodes are back-to-back connected in series to form a half-wave rectifier circuit and finally integrated with an OLED diode pixel.
