Quantum correlations, specifically entanglement, may provide a basis for novel hybrid sensing techniques to make TEMs compatible with sensitive samples prone to radiation damage. We present a protocol to certify entanglement between electrons and photons naturally arising from certain coherent cathodoluminescence processes. Using mutually unbiased bases in position and momentum, our method allows robust, state-agnostic entanglement verification and provides a lower bound on the entanglement of formation, enabling quantitative comparisons across platforms. Simulations under experiment-inspired conditions and preliminary experimental data highlight the feasibility of implementing this approach in modern TEM systems with optical specimen access. Our work integrates photonic quantum information techniques with electron microscopy. It establishes a foundation for entanglement-based imaging at the atomic scale, offering a potential pathway to reduce radiation exposure.","PeriodicalId":20821,"journal":{"name":"Quantum Science and Technology","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144747175","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}

Whereas matrix compaction generally lowers tidal dissipation by reducing the cumulate thickness, our results show that, during early solidification phases, it can enhance dissipation at high tide-raising frequencies by increasing the resonance frequency of the magma ocean.

Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) is then employed to extract features, including statistical metrics and power spectral density (PSD) values across various frequency ranges from the filtered data. Subsequently, a quantum-inspired genetic algorithm (QGA) is applied to optimize the selection of features, exploring more diverse subsets of features to improve the accuracy of the classification. The refined features are then used to train a quantum support vector machine (QSVM), with performance compared to conventional SVM and XGBoost, a tree-based classifier.

Recent studies have suggested that ANE can be enhanced by increasing magnetic anisotropy, based on investigations of ferromagnetic alloys such as FePt, FePd, and MnGa, which possess varying degrees of magnetic anisotropy. Moreover, it has been reported that interfacial effects can also significantly influence the ANE. However, these materials differ not only in anisotropy but also in other intrinsic properties, leaving it unclear whether uniaxial magnetic anisotropy alone plays a decisive role in enhancing ANE. To isolate the effect of magnetic anisotropy, we studied MgO/Ta/CoFeB/W thin films, where voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy enables modulation of magnetic anisotropy without altering other material characteristics. Despite a 30% reduction in magnetic anisotropy, we observed less than a 3% change in ANE, indicating a weak correlation. These findings suggest that magnetic anisotropy alone is not a critical factor governing the ANE, and that the ANE remains robust in voltage-tuned devices.","PeriodicalId":8094,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics Letters","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144747105","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}
