The task of tracking charged particles in energy frontier collider experiments has been largely taken over by solidstate detectors. While silicon microstrip trackers offer many advantages in this environment, large silicon trackers are generally much more massive than their gaseous counterparts. Because of the properties of the machine itself, much of the material that comprises a typical silic...

NAND flash memory has been the single biggest change to drive technology in recent years, with the storage medium showing up in data centers, laptops and in memory cards in mobile devices. It addresses the performance problems in storage. Data Deduplication is simple yet effective technology providing solution to the massive storage requirements of data. Deduplication removes redundant files/bl...

Keeping single-qubit quantum coherence above some threshold value not far below unity is a prerequisite for fault-tolerant quantum error correction (QEC). We study the initial dephasing of solidstate qubits in the independent-boson model, which describes well recent experiments on quantum dot (QD) excitons both in bulk and in substrates of reduced geometry such as nanotubes. Using explicit expr...

Abstract We investigate the propagation of optical pulses through two different solidstate optical materials, ruby and alexandrite, for which the group velocity can be very small (vg c) or superluminal (vg c or negative). We find that for smooth pulses the fractional delay or advancement is maximized through the use of pulses with durations comparable to the response time of the physical proces...

Write amplification is a central performance figure of solidstate storage devices. As a result, significant effort has been devoted in the storage systems community to analyzing write amplification in useful scenarios. Analysis here means that a parametrized model is chosen for the device and its incident workload, such that the expected average write amplification can be obtained mathematicall...

Nowadays space applications are provided with a processing power absolutely overcoming the one available just a few years ago. Typical mission-critical space system applications include also the issue of solid-state recorder(s). Flash-memories are nonvolatile, shock-resistant and power-economic, but in turn have different drawbacks. A solid-state recorder for space applications should satisfy m...
