Feasibility study of resistance welding of aluminum alloys, stainless steel, and titanium in a hard vacuum Final report, Jun. 27, 1967 - Feb. 29, 1968
Tensile strength and X ray analysis of resistance spot welded aluminum and stainless steel alloy
Welding of commercial base plates is investigated
Investigation of aluminum alloy welds reveals that the combinations of metallic elements with hydrogen are not capable of producing weld porosity themselves, rather they tend to increase the amount of porosity only in the presence of arc contamination by water vapor
A heralded quantum gate between remote quantum memories
We demonstrate a probabilistic entangling quantum gate between two distant
trapped ytterbium ions. The gate is implemented between the hyperfine "clock"
state atomic qubits and mediated by the interference of two emitted photons
carrying frequency encoded qubits. Heralded by the coincidence detection of
these two photons, the gate has an average fidelity of 90+-2%. This entangling
gate together with single qubit operations is sufficient to generate large
entangled cluster states for scalable quantum computing
Cooling the Collective Motion of Trapped Ions to Initialize a Quantum Register
We report preparation in the ground state of collective modes of motion of
two trapped 9Be+ ions. This is a crucial step towards realizing quantum logic
gates which can entangle the ions' internal electronic states. We find that
heating of the modes of relative ion motion is substantially suppressed
relative to that of the center-of-mass modes, suggesting the importance of
these modes in future experiments.Comment: 5 pages, including 3 figures. RevTeX. PDF and PostScript available at

Shallow extra mixing in solar twins inferred from Be abundances
Lithium and beryllium are destroyed at different temperatures in stellar
interiors. As such, their relative abundances offer excellent probes of the
nature and extent of mixing processes within and below the convection zone. We
determine Be abundances for a sample of eight solar twins for which Li
abundances have previously been determined. The analyzed solar twins span a
very wide range of age, 0.5-8.2 Gyr, which enables us to study secular
evolution of Li and Be depletion. We gathered high-quality UVES/VLT spectra and
obtained Be abundances by spectral synthesis of the Be II 313 nm doublet. The
derived beryllium abundances exhibit no significant variation with age. The
more fragile Li, however, exhibits a monotonically decreasing abundance with
increasing age. Therefore, relatively shallow extra mixing below the convection
zone is necessary to simultaneously account for the observed Li and Be behavior
in the Sun and solar twins
