Development of a modular directional and spectral neutron detection system using solid-state detectors

A detection system using room-temperature, microstructured solid-state thermal neutron detectors with very low leakage current has been developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) with the ability to provide positional and spectral information about an unknown neutron source. The Directional and Spectral Neutron Detection System (DSNDS) utilizes a set of small-but-scalable, zero-bias so...

A modular display system for insect behavioral neuroscience.

Flying insects exhibit stunning behavioral repertoires that are largely mediated by the visual control of flight. For this reason, presenting a controlled visual environment to tethered insects has been and continues to be a powerful tool for studying the sensory control of complex behaviors. To create an easily controlled, scalable, and customizable visual stimulus, we have designed a modular ...

Quantum Teleportation in a Solid State System

We propose a practical solid-state system capable of demonstrating quantum teleportation. The set-up exploits recent advances in the optical control of excitons in coupled quantum dots, in order to produce maximally-entangled Bell and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. Only two unitary transformations are then required: a quantum Controlled-Not gate and a Hadamard gate. The laser pulses ...

Improving System Performance Using Solid-State Disk

Solid-state disk (SSD) provides 100 times the I/O performance of hard drives (HDDs) but at 100 times the cost per gigabyte or more. Compared with other techniques such as in-memory databases and database tuning, SSD can be a cost-effective solution to improving the performance of I/O-bound applications. But in order to achieve the proper balance between cost and performance, it is necessary to ...
