Spin gradient thermometry for ultracold atoms in optical lattices

A major goal of current research with ultracold atoms in optical lattices is the realization of magnetic ordering. This requires temperatures on the order of the second order tunneling rate, J2/U where U is the interaction energy and J the tunneling amplitude. Such temperatures are about ten times less than 1 nk, the lowest temperature...

Universal resource state for One-Way Quantum Computations

A fascinating model for quantum computing, other than the traditional quantum circuit model, is the “one-way” model that is based on simply doing single qubit measurements to a fixed, initial entangled quantum state of many qubits. By feeding back measurement results to control the axis of subsequent measurements, any quantum circuit can be simulated and...
