Fused silica ion trap chip with efficient optical collection system for timekeeping, sensing, and emulation
SBC: TRANSLUME INC Topic: AF10BT17ABSTRACT: We will design, fabricate and test a quantum processing unit (QPU) based on a symmetric ion trap chip. The trap will provide trapping depth similar to that obtain with macrosize Paul traps. In addition to the ion trap, this chip will incorporate integrated optical systems which will deliver the light fields required by the elementary quantum processing unit (or quantum sensing unit). ...

Robust, Lightweight Wiring for Space Applications
SBC: MINNESOTA WIRE & CABLE CO Topic: AF112093ABSTRACT: The military have been challenged to find ways of effectively shielding sensitive electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference (EMI) without adding a lot of weight to satellites (the more massive they are, the more fuel they need to achieve orbit). Copper wiring comprises one-third of the weight of a 15-ton satellite. Half of this wire weight is typically in the EMI shieldin ...
