The properties of polarized light emerging from turbid media in the exact backscattering direction are studied by modulating the incident light polarization state and isolating the synchronous signal with lock-in amplifier detection. The results are reported for polystyrene microsphere suspensions in distilled water, with and without glucose, and for both ex vivo and in vivo biological tissues....

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. Such $m\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}d\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}c\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}r\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}c\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}u\phantom{\rule{0}{...

An approach reported recently by Alexandrov et al. 1 on optical scatter imaging, termed digital Fourier microscopy (DFM), represents an adaptation of digital Fourier holography to selective imaging of biological matter. Holographic mode of recording of the sample optical scatter enables reconstruction of the sample image. Form-factor of the sample constituents provides a basis for discriminatio...

Thermoacoustic tomography (TAT) is a technique that measures microwave-induced thermoacoustic waves at the boundary of biological tissue and generates images of internal microwave absorption distributions from the measurements. Existing reconstruction algorithms for TAT are based on the assumption that the acoustic properties in the tissue are homogeneous. Biological tissue, however, has hetero...

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}...

The characterization and calibration of ultrasound imaging systems requires tissue-mimicking phantoms with known acoustic properties, dimensions and internal features. Tissue phantoms are available commercially for a range of medical applications. However, commercial phantoms may not be suitable in ultrasound system design or for evaluation of novel imaging techniques. It is often desirable to ...

A data-driven wall model for turbulent flows over periodic hills is developed using a feedforward neural network and wall-resolved large-eddy simulation data. The employs wall-normal distance, near-wall velocities, pressure gradients as input features, the shear stresses output labels, respectively. In $a$ $p\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}r\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}o\phantom{\rule{...

A double Pulsed Gradient Spin Echo (d-PGSE) MR experiment was used to measure and assess the degree of local diffusion anisotropy in brain gray matter, and in a novel "gray matter" phantom that consists of randomly oriented tubes filled with water. In both samples, isotropic diffusion was observed at a macroscopic scale while anisotropic diffusion was observed at a microscopic scale, however, t...
