Quantum Control via a Genetic Algorithm of the Field Ionization Pathway of a Rydberg Electron
Quantum control of the pathway along which a Rydberg electron field ionizes is experimentally and computationally demonstrated. Selective field ionization is typically done with a slowly rising electric field pulse. The (1/n*)4...

Improving the State Selectivity of Field Ionization With Quantum Control
The electron signals from the field ionization of two closely spaced Rydberg states of rubidium-85 are separated using quantum control. In selective field ionization, the state distribution of a collection of Rydberg atoms is...

Perturbed Field Ionization for Improved State Selectivity
Selective field ionization (SFI) is used to determine the state or distribution of states to which a Rydberg atom is excited. By evolving a small perturbation to the ramped electric field using a genetic algorithm, the shape of...

Aeroelastic tailoring of a plate wing with functionally graded materials

A functionally graded material (FGM) provides a spatial blend of material properties throughout a structure. This paper studies the efficacy of FGM for the aeroelastic tailoring of a metallic cantilever plate-like wing...

Rydberg atoms, which have a highly excited outer electron, are easily manipulated by electric fields. Using a magneto-optical trap, we cool Rubidium atoms to a few hundred millionths of a Kelvin above absolute zero and then...

Design of bending-active tied arches by using a multi-objective optimization method
The design of bending-active structures is a challenging problem, due to the high non-linearity of the activation process, the coupling between member sizing, structural shape and the deformability and buckling sensitivity...

Embodied carbon optimisation of concrete pile foundations and comparison of the performance of different pile geometries
Concrete production and construction are responsible for a considerable share of the total carbon emissions annually. With the emerging need to cut carbon emissions from the construction sector, there has been a big interest in...

Optimizing the Cross-sectional Shapes of Extruded Aluminium Structural Members for Unitized Curtain Wall Facades
Curtain walls are lightweight, weathertight, exterior facades. They are capable of resisting wind loads, but provide no support for the building it to which they are attached. Although they are used to enclose many different...

Optimizing an Electron's Path to Ionization Using a Genetic Algorithm
Jason Bennett, Kevin Choice
Jan 01, 0001
A Rydberg atom is an atom with a highly excited and weakly bound valence electron. A widespread method of studying quantum mechanics with Rydberg atoms is to ionize the electron and measure its arrival time. We use a Genetic...
