Elastic Chiral Waveguides with Gyro-Hinges

Elastic waves in helical waveguides

Flexible antibodies with nonprotein hinges

There is a significant need for antibodies that can bind targets with greater affinity. Here we describe a novel strategy employing chemical semisynthesis to produce symmetroadhesins: antibody-like molecules having nonprotein hinge regions that are more flexible and extendible and are capable of two-handed binding. Native chemical ligation was carried out under mild, non-denaturing conditions t...

Quantum Networks with Chiral-Light-Matter Interaction in Waveguides.

We propose a scalable architecture for a quantum network based on a simple on-chip photonic circuit that performs loss-tolerant two-qubit measurements. The circuit consists of two quantum emitters positioned in the arms of an on-chip Mach-Zehnder interferometer composed of waveguides with chiral-light-matter interfaces. The efficient chiral-light-matter interaction allows the emitters to perfor...

Fiber gyro with squeezed radiation

Received December 11, 1990; revised manuscript received April 30, 1991 A pulse-excited Sagnac fiber interferometer can perform squeezing. If this squeezed radiation is injected into a second Sagnac interferometer that is functioning as a fiber gyro that is itself nonlinear, additional unfavorable squeezing occurs in the gyro. By proper phase adjustment of the injected squeezed radiation it is p...
