Zheng, Y. (author), Sharma, H. (author), Borregaard, J. (author)The generation of multiple entangled qubit pairs between distributed nodes is a prerequisite for a future quantum Internet. To achieve a practicable generation rate, standard protocols based on photonic qubits require multiple long-term quantum memories, which remains a significant experimental challenge. In this paper, we propose a novel...journal article 2022

Chen, Bei (author), Dong, Fuqiang (author), Yu, Xin (author), Ren, S. (author), Zheng, Changjiang (author)Today, high-viscosity modified asphalt (HVMA) is widely used in drainage asphalt pavements. However, due to its high construction temperature, HVMA is prone to thermal oxidative aging, which reduces its life cycle and increases the maintenance costs of asphalt pavements. In this study, the effects of warm-mix additives on the physical,...journal article 2022

Zheng, Dongzhu (author), Bezuijen, Adam (author), Talmon, A.M. (author)This paper presents an improvement on a previous model for predicting the Marsh funnel (MF) test that is used in slurry shield tunneling for evaluating the rheological properties of bentonite slurries. The improvement focuses on the prediction of the dynamic part for fluids with small MF times. The velocity profile of the Herschel-Bulkley...journal article 2022

Zheng, Y. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Bracken, G. (author)In the heart of the Pearl River Delta, the city of Guangzhou is fast-growing and prone to flooding. In history, people constructed canals based on natural waterways to deal with water problems. The canal system not only served as an important infrastructure but was also as the backbone of urban life. The city was built around its canals; they...journal article 2022

(author)We report the coherent coupling of two electron spins at a distance via virtual microwave photons. Each spin is trapped in a silicon double quantum dot at either end of a superconducting resonator, achieving spin-photon couplings up to around gs/2p=40 MHz. As the two spins are brought into resonance with each other, but detuned from the...journal article 2022

Yin, Hang (author), Zheng, Feifei (author), Duan, Huan-Feng (author), Savić, Dragan (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Urban flooding is a major issue worldwide, causing huge economic losses and serious threats to public safety. One promising way to mitigate its impacts is to develop a real-time flood risk management system; however, building such a system is often challenging due to the lack of high spatiotemporal rainfall data. While some approaches (i.e.,...journal article 2022
