Exploiting Unique Opportunities to Interact with Infrared Light
New nitride semiconductors to expand the material toolset for infrared sensing devices.
Curvature Changes Quantization Procedure
A theoretical puzzle has existed for over half a century: how to perform quantization for a particle constrained to remain on the curved surface with Dirac’s canonical quantization scheme? The answer has been found.
Alternate Material for Infrared Intersubband (ISB) Devices
Harnessing light for practical applications requires small, versatile, and efficient optoelectronic devices.
Models for a Multimode Bosonic Tunneling Junction
Decoherence plays an important role in quantum mechanics. In general, uncontrolled interaction of a quantum system with its environment will cause it to lose its quantum properties. Controlled decoherence or dissipation, on the other hand, can be used to engineer...
