Steve Benton "Report on SuperBIT's 2016 Test Flight" ABSTRACT | SuperBIT is a wide-field sub-arcsecond imaging telescope for visible and near UV/IR wavelengths. It is designed to operate in the space-like environment of the Super-Pressure Balloon platform at an altitude of 35 km. During a 100 day flight it will infer masses of hundreds of…
Laser-cooled and trapped atomic ions are standards for quantum information science, acting as qubits with unsurpassed levels of quantum coherence while also allowing near-perfect measurement. When qubit state-dependent optical forces are applied to a collection of ions, their Coulomb interaction is modulated in a way that allows entanglement…
TITLE Cosmology with the Longest Lever Arm using CMB Lensing ABSTRACT The cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides a snapshot of the universe at a redshift of around 1100. At the same time, it acts as a backlight that is gravitationally lensed by structure that formed at low redshifts. CMB fluctuations are therefore especially sensitive to…
Within the past year and a half we have lost Val Fitch and Jim Cronin, two of Princeton’s greatest physicists. Their 1964 discovery of CP Violation in the decays of the long-lived neutral K meson, referred to at the time as “the Princeton Effect,” was a complete surprise, right out of the blue, that defied any and all explanation. The mystery…
