We show, with numerical verification, how an ensemble of Rubidium atoms can be made to behave like a single particle with only two energy levels, i.e., a quantum bit, by using Rydberg-interaction assisted light-shift blockade.
Radial foil implosions on the COrnell Beam Research Accelerator (COBRA) and MAGPIE [1, 2] are used to understand the magneto-hydrodynamics of astrophysical plasma jets. While this configuration shares geometrical similarities with its celestial counterpart, the topology of the magnetic field may exhibit substantial differences. One possible improvement uses external magnetic fields (using permanent...
Music is an integral part of high school students' daily lives, and most use digital music devices and services. The one-week Summer Music Technology (SMT) program at Drexel University introduces underclassmen high school students to music technology to reveal the influence and importance of engineering, science, and mathematics. By engaging participants' affinity for music, we hope to motivate and...
Several polynomial time approximation algorithms for some NP-complete routing problems are presented, and the worst-case ratios of the cost of the obtained route to that of an optimal are determined. A mixed-strategy heuristic with a bound of 9/5 is presented for the Stacker-Crane problem (a modified Traveling Salesman problem). A tour-splitting heuristic is given for k-person variants of the Traveling...
