Revealing quantum chaos with machine learning

Understanding properties of quantum matter is an outstanding challenge in science. In this paper, we demonstrate how machine-learning methods can be successfully applied for the classification of various regimes in single-particle and many-body systems. We realize neural network algorithms that perform a classification between regular and...

Dose effects in He implanted Eurofer97 steel

Reduced Activation Ferritic/Martensitic steels are being extensively studied because of their foreseen application in fusion reactors. To reproduce neutron irradiation conditions, Eurofer97 samples were implanted at room temperature with helium ions at energies of 500 keV and 2 MeV and doses of 1x1015-1017 He /cm2. The implantation induced...

Helium implanted RAFM steels studied by positron beam Doppler Broadening and Thermal Desorption Spectroscopy

Reduced Activation Ferritic/Martensitic steels are being extensively studied because of their foreseen application in fusion and Generation IV fission reactors. To mimic neutron irradiation conditions, Eurofer97 samples were implanted with helium ions at energies of 500 keV and 2 MeV and doses of 5x1015-1016 He /cm2, creating atomic...

Tuned Transition from Quantum to Classical for Macroscopic Quantum States

The boundary between the classical and quantum worlds has been intensely studied. It remains fascinating to explore how far the quantum concept can reach with use of specially fabricated elements. Here we employ a tunable flux qubit with basis states having persistent currents of 1???A carried by a million pairs of electrons. By tuning the...

Strong Coupling of a Quantum Oscillator to a Flux Qubit at Its Symmetry Point

A flux qubit biased at its symmetry point shows a minimum in the energy splitting (the gap), providing protection against flux noise. We have fabricated a qubit of which the gap can be tuned fast and have coupled this qubit strongly to an LC oscillator. We show full spectroscopy of the qubit-oscillator system and generate vacuum Rabi...

Tuning the Gap of a Superconducting Flux Qubit

We experimentally demonstrate the in situ tunability of the minimum energy splitting (gap) of a superconducting flux qubit by means of an additional flux loop. Pulses applied via a local control line allow us to tune the gap over a range of several GHz on a nanosecond time scale. The strong flux sensitivity of the gap (up to ~0:7 GHz/m?0) opens...
