A research team has developed a new technique to rapidly and accurately determine the charge state of electrons confined in semiconductor quantum dots -- fundamental components of quantum computing ...

Above is a simulated charge sensor signal and its histogram. Below is a time integration that reduces noise and enables state identification (called threshold judgment, a conventional method). A ...

How can the component elements of an unknown material, such as a meteorite, be determined? X-ray fluorescence analysis can be used to identify an abundance of elements, by irradiating samples with ...
