Entangling The Lattice Clock With Rydberg Gates, Frank J. Greenhalgh Apr 2011

Entangling The Lattice Clock With Rydberg Gates, Frank J. Greenhalgh

Festival of Communities: UG Symposium (Posters)

Knowledge of the exact time is critical to many engineers and planetary experts; unfortunately atomic clocks can't have infinite accuracy by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. To attain accuracy past the limit we have achieved today, we will design a critical improvement of the atomic clock via the Rydberg gates method. Rydberg gates synchronize the atomic states so that they are more sensitive which will greatly increase the accuracy. This project will introduce fast acting Rydberg gates to an existing atomic clock layout. The Rydberg gates will allow the clock to entangle atoms in less time, thus decreasing decoherence effects on the …


Thin-Film Fabrication For High Pressure Thermoelectric And Electrical Resistivity Studies, Jorge L. Reynaga, Rama Venkat, Ravhi S. Kumar Apr 2011

Thin-Film Fabrication For High Pressure Thermoelectric And Electrical Resistivity Studies, Jorge L. Reynaga, Rama Venkat, Ravhi S. Kumar

Festival of Communities: UG Symposium (Posters)

Thermoelectric materials are of interest for application such as thermoelectric cooler in microprocessors and power generators in cars. High pressure plays an important role in understanding the changes in the figure of merit of thermoelectric thin films. To study the thermoelectric thin films a direct approach is to fabricate the thin film on the surface of a diamond anvil, so that the pressure dependence of structure and transport properties can be investigated easily. If we could successfully fabricate the electrical probes by depositing thin films, then it reduces the use of electrical wires as probes inside the diamond cell, as …
