Tunnel coupling is a key parameter in coupled semiconductor quantum dots, and crucial ingredient various device applications, such as exchange gates spin shuttling information processing. A widely used charge-sensing technique to extract the tunnel of double dot accounts for only ground orbital state each dot, but authors show that Si valley-orbit must be included analysis. With their more comp...

Key applications of quantum computing, including error correction, rely critically on the capability to measure (read out) state selected bits, without disturbing other qubits or terminating computation.

According to published data, the absorbed dose used for a CBCT image acquisition with Varian OBI v1.3 can be as high as 100 mGy. In 2008 Varian released a new OBI version (v1.4), which promised to reduce the imaging dose. In this study, absorbed doses used for CBCT image acquisitions with the default irradiation techniques of Varian OBI v1.3 and v1.4 are measured. TLDs are used to derive dose d...

The aim of this study is to measure the radiographic dose in adult, adolescent, and child head-sized PMMA phantoms for three panoramic-imaging devices: the panoramic mode on two CBCT machines (Carestream 9300 and i-CAT NG) and the Planmeca ProMax 2D. A SEDENTEXCT dose index adult phantom and custom-built adolescent and pediatric PMMA dosimetry phantoms were used. Panoramic radiographs were perf...

Abstract Various materials and compounds have been used in the design of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWMRI) phantoms to mimic biological tissue properties, including diffusion. This review thus provides an overview preparations various DW-MRI available relation limitations strengths materials/solutions fill them. The narrative conducted from relevant databases shows that synt...

As was suggested twenty years ago, double-vortex condensation can drive a superconductor into fractionalized insulator with \ensuremath{\mathbb{Z}}${}_{2}$ topological order. With the advent of symmetry-protected phases, authors explore here effect strong correlation in weak superconductor, showing that gives rise to translation symmetry-enriched This $t\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}o\phantom{\rule{0}...

INTRODUCTION A sweeping beam technique for total body irradiation in standard treatment rooms and for standard linear accelerators (linacs) is introduced, which does not require any accessory attached to the linac. Lung shielding is facilitated to reduce the risk of pulmonary toxicity. Additionally, the applicability of a commercial radiotherapy planning system (RTPS) is examined. MATERIAL AN...
