Following ideas demonstrated so far only in the optical domain, where practically no thermal background photons exist, we realize room-temperature microwave frequency super-resolved phase measurements with trillions of photons, while saturating the Cramer-Rao bound of sensitivity. We experimentally estimate the interferometric phase using the expectation value of the parity operator by two methods.

One typical approach involves using compliant inline hydraulic silencers to lower the sound speed within devices, e.g., pressurized bladders or syntactic foams. However, the exploration of innovative compliant materials for silencer designs has been limited; this is largely due to the absence of a comprehensive model that can accommodate a large range of anisotropic materials to evaluate the performance of hydraulic silencers. In this work, we develop a general analytical model for silencer design that incorporates anisotropic reflective materials. The model enables us to identify optimized solutions within a broader material spectrum, tailored to meet pressure-resistance requirements. Building upon these insights, we design and fabricate an anisotropic compliant metallic lattice with low impedance and integrate it into a hydraulic silencer as the reflective material. Experimental results demonstrate that this silencer can achieve an average sound-transmission loss of 21 dB across a frequency range of 100 Hz to 2 kHz, in good agreement with predictions from our proposed model. This work paves the way for selecting and designing innovative materials for the mitigation of hydraulic noise.","PeriodicalId":20109,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Applied","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185214","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}

For superconducting quantum platforms, one important setback is the stray interaction between qubits, which causes significant coherent errors. For transmon qubits, protocols for mitigating such errors usually involve fine-tuning the hardware parameters or introducing usually noisy flux-tunable couplers. In this work, we propose a simple scheme to cancel these stray interactions. The coupler used for such cancelation is a driven high-coherence resonator, where the amplitude and frequency of the drive serve as control knobs.

Such systems have gained popularity, as they enable x-ray phase-contrast imaging (XPCI) and aperture-driven spatial resolution. The former provides superior contrast for weakly attenuating samples, while the latter allows the resolution of a micro-computed-tomography system to be increased beyond the conventional limit dictated by the source and detector. Such systems initially required time-inefficient step-and-shoot acquisitions, a limitation that has been removed by the development of cycloidal computed tomography. Here we derive cycloidal sampling conditions that are optimal in the sense of the Nyquist-Shannon theorem. Their availability enables the acquisition of well-sampled (i.e., high-resolution) XPCI images in a time-efficient manner, a long-sought outcome with relevance to laboratory implementations, where scan times have traditionally been long, and to synchrotron implementations, where the next frontier is to achieve high-speed (e.g., dynamic) imaging. We make no assumptions on the type of x-ray source used, but demonstrate the optimal conditions with a rotating-anode x-ray tube.","PeriodicalId":20109,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Applied","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224223","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}

Because of the high tunability of magnons, their interactions with microwave photons can be engineered to probe novel phenomena based on strong photon-magnon coupling. Improving the photon-magnon coupling strength can be done by tuning the structure of microwave resonators to better interact with the magnon counterpart. Planar resonators have been explored due to their potential for on-chip integration, but only common modes from stripline-based resonators have been used. Here, we present a microwave spiral resonator supporting spoof localized surface plasmons (LSPs) and implement it in the investigation of photon-magnon coupling for hybrid magnonic applications. We showcase strong magnon-LSP photon coupling using a ferrimagnetic yttrium iron garnet sphere. We discuss the engineering capacity of the photon mode frequency and spatial field distributions of the spiral resonator via both experiment and simulation. As a result of the localized photon mode profiles, the resulting magnetic field concentrates near the surface dielectrics, giving rise to an enhanced magnetic filling factor. The strong coupling and large engineering space render the spoof LSPs an interesting contender in developing novel hybrid magnonic systems and functionalities.","PeriodicalId":20109,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Applied","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224225","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}

Recently, it was shown that certain pairs of configurations along this sweep were linked by duality transformations and displayed matching phonon spectra. In this work, we introduce an intercell-connection system that spreads the lattice in the dimension orthogonal to the tessellation plane. The resulting three-dimensional character of the lattice allows us to sweep the entirety of the twist-angle spectrum, including all the compact configurations featuring overlapping triangles that, in a strictly two-dimensional space, are forbidden. Duality provides precious guidance for interpreting the availability of floppy mechanisms arising in the compact configurations through the one-to-one correspondence with their expanded counterparts. Our focus is on the compact configuration corresponding to a null twist angle, where the lattice degenerates to a chain. From the perspective of the chain, several of the local connections between neighboring lattice cells play the role of nonlocal long-range interactions between cells of the chain. We demonstrate experimentally some peculiar behavior that results from such nonlocality, including a selective activation of floppy sequences that is informed by the direction of loading.","PeriodicalId":20109,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Applied","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185219","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}
