Abstract: In optical microscopy and lithography, the resolution is restricted to about half the wavelength of the light by something called the diffraction limit. Many attempts have been made to adva...
Abstract: Topological orders describe novel states of matter that cannot be described in terms of symmetry and local order parameters. They feature degenerate, topologically protected ground states t...
Abstract: We demonstrate a technique to nanofabricate nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond based on broad-beam nitrogen implantation through apertures in electron beam lithography resist. This me...

Abstract: Applying a magnetic eld gradient to a trapped ion allows long-wavelength microwave radiation to produce a mechanical force on the ion's motion when internal transitions are driven. We demon...
