An extensional mode resonator for vibration harvesting
Creators: name: Youngsman, John McKay
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Energy conversion

description: In an effort to identify techniques for harvesting energy from ambient vibrations, a prototype device that utilizes stretching piezoelectric film to support a proof mass, with an adjustable support that allows the resonant frequency of the device to be easily altered has been developed. This extensional mode resonator (XMR) device is described by a model developed in this work that predicts the power that is harvested as a function of the frequency and amplitude of the external vibration, the elastic and piezoelectric materials properties, and the device geometry. The model provides design guidelines for the effects of device geometry and applied tension through an adjustable support that suggest a strong dependence on mechanical damping and a weak dependence on frequency, as opposed to a bending cantilever device. The model predictions are compared to experimental measures from multiple configurations of the prototype device for frequencies between 60 Hz and 180 Hz, and at accelerations between 0.1 m/s2 and 25 m/s2. Up to 22 mW is generated from a device with a mass of ~82 g at 25 m/s2 acceleration, and over the range of frequencies tested the power harvested at 4 m/s2 is between 3 mW and 4 mW. The developed models are used as design tools for various configurations that are capable of over 100 mW at less than 3 m/s2 in one case to another that can generate more than 10 mW at 1 m/s2. Prototype configurations have been successfully tested as high as 80 m/s2 with power generated on the order of 40 mW.

description: We present new results of our ongoing project toward a precision determination of the kaon $B$ parameter with the Kogut-Susskind quark action in quenched QCD. New results taken at $β$=6.4 and $β=5.7$ suggest that an apparently linear $a$ dependence of $B_K$ previously observed for $β=5.85-6.2$ arises from a change of curvature from convex to concave as the lattice spacing is reduced. Fitting data for $β\geq 5.93$ with an $O(a^2)$ form yields $B_K$(NDR,2 GeV)=0.587(7)(17) in the continuum limit. We also describe a finite-size study of $B_K$ at $β=$ 6.0 and 6.4, and a reanalysis of the theoretical argument for $O(a^2)$ behavior.

description: In this paper, we suggest a mathematical representation to the holographic principle through the theory topological retracts. We found that the topological retraction is the mathematical analogs of the hologram idea in modern quantum gravity and it can be used to explore the geometry of the hologram boundary. An example has been given on the five dimensional (5D) wormhole space-time $W$ which we found it can retract to lower dimensional circles $S_i \subset W$. In terms of the holographic principle, the description of this volume of space-time $W$ is encoded on the lower-dimensional circle which is the region boundary.

description: My great-grandfather, Frederick NH Pexton, was a German speaker and mathematician and when he was enlisted into the RAF he was employed as a codebreaker. He worked at Chicksands Priory, which was a 'Y' station. Chicksands worked closely with Bletchley Park and my great-grandfather would visit weekly to deliver new information.He met my great-grandmother, Jeanette Duncan-Teape, who intercepted German coded messages at the listening station. Both of my great-grandparents were officers. Jean and Freddie met at Chicksands, married in 1943, and had my grandmother Ann in May of 1944. As my great-grandparents signed the Official Secrets Act, they never spoke about their work during WWII other than a couple of amusing stories. My great-grandfather Freddie spoke about funny times in the mess, one of which involved him lighting a bonfire during lunch. My great-grandmother Jean apparently cycled home with some documents by mistake; she was so worried she slept with them under her pillow. They returned to civilian life in 1945. Throughout the years after they never let any information out about their work. Freddie died in 1974 and Jean died in 1989.
Demography and individual growth of two introduced Bromus species

Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Bromegrasses -- Growth

description: Comparative studies of congeners have been identified as valuable tools to understand why some introduced species become invasive and others do not. I compared individual and population growth characteristics of two annual grasses, invasive Bromus tectorum and naturalized B. briziformis, in greenhouse and field experiments. Smaller pot size, lower water availability and lower rates of nutrient addition all reduced maximum plant size, decreased growth rates, and delayed the period of most rapid plant growth of both species in greenhouse studies. Ontogenetically controlled analyses of biomass allocation revealed that plants had higher root to shoot ratios in less favorable growing conditions (limited soil volume or low nutrient addition), compared to more favorable growing conditions. B. tectorum biomass allocation was more root-heavy compared to B. briziformis biomass allocation in all treatments. Neither species adjusted its allocation to roots in response to water availability but greater root allocation by B. tectorum compared to B. briziformis throughout development may increase the drought tolerance of that species. I used logistic and linear regression analysis of matrix population-model parameters to examine the response of B. tectorum and B. briziformis population growth rates to individual plant nitrogen and water status at two sites. B. tectorum population growth rates were 2 to 3.5 times greater than B. briziformis growth rates across water and nutrient treatments, and across study sites. B. tectorum plants were larger than B. briziformis plants, had lower leaf nitrogen content and produced nearly three times as many seeds as B. briziformis plants. Fertilized plants were larger and produced more seeds than unfertilized plants, but only at one site. Watered plants were more depleted in 13C than unwatered plants only at one site. However, fertilizer and water treatment effects on plant size, seed production, or [delta]13C did not translate into differences in population growth rates. Population growth rates differed only by species and sites.
Three essays on natural resource allocation and public policy
Creators: name: Ohler, Adrienne Marie
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation provides three papers on natural resource allocation and public policy. The first and second papers examine the allocation of rafting permits in the Four Rivers Lottery. The third paper examines the policy of implementing renewable portfolio standards. The first paper creates a measure for rafter surplus from lotteries with and without a restriction on permit transfers. We examine the impact of policy changes on the surplus trade-off between restricted and unrestricted permits in order to determine the conditions that lead to restricted permits generating more surplus than unrestricted permits. We provide a possible rationale for why a restriction on permit transfers is common among lotteries that distribute natural resources and policy recommendations based on the analysis. The second paper models the choices of the lottery applicants. In a ranked-choice lottery, applicants reveal their preferences for different characteristics of a good by ranking the options. Individuals make a trade-off between the different characteristics; and the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) indicates the relative preference of one characteristic over another. We derive the MRS. Applying the model to the United State Forest Service's Four Rivers Lottery, we show that on average applicants are willing to accept less river discharge to obtain a permit. In the third paper, we present an alternative approach to modeling the renewable portfolio standard as a proportional constraint on the utility company's input decision. The constraint model is more consistent with the incentives created by the RP standard, and illustrates that a binding RP standard cannot cause electricity prices to decrease. Empirical analysis of sixteen states with an RP standard supports the theory that the RP standard increases the price of electricity.

Comparative mapping of bovine chromosome 14 for identification of candidate genes underlying economically important traits in beef cattle
Creators: name: Wibowo, Tito Arief
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Beef cattle -- Genetics

description: It has been reported that bovine chromosome 14 (BTA14) is rich in quantitative trait loci (QTL) that are responsible for many economically important traits in cattle. Therefore, the goal of this project was to comparatively annotate the chromosome based on its current genome assembly and explore new potential candidate genes underlying beef carcass, meat quality and eating quality using a Wagyu x Limousin F2 population. First, we reviewed all reported QTL studies previously conducted on BTA14, standardized the QTL locations and linked the QTL to functional gene regions. We believe that such an anchored QTL map would further improve our ability to understand the genetic complexity of economically important traits located on BTA14 in both dairy and beef cattle. Second, we developed a sequence-based comparative map of BTA14 using human chromosome 8 (HSA8) as an anchor to increase the efficiency and accuracy of identifying and characterizing promising positional candidate genes. Last, we performed a chromosome wide analysis using two different methods, a single gene association with multiple comparison tests and an interval mapping, to target candidate genes on BTA14 responsible for these economically important traits in cattle. Our study provided a unique set of genetic markers for genomic improvement of carcass, meat quality and healthier products in beef cattle. Such a breeding program based on a marker assisted selection has the potential for a more accurate and rapid animal improvement by predicting genetic merits based on genotypes and using genomic information to design precision breeding systems. More importantly, our work offers new opportunities and tools to develop precision management programs for optimizing meat products based on an animal's genotype, thus leading to consumers' satisfaction for their diet and health.
Site-specific seismic hazard analysis
Creators: name: Montalva, Gonzalo Andres
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Earthquake hazard analysis

description: Current seismic hazard analyses are generally performed using probabilistic methods. When dealing with a specific site, the typical methodology involves using a ground motion prediction equation (GMPE) to estimate the rock outcrop ground motion and associated variability, then the ground motion is propagated to the ground surface by site response analysis. The site response process is inherently variable. Including this uncertainty in site response analyses without modifying the input ground motion uncertainty produces double counting of the uncertainty associated with site response. In this dissertation the total uncertainty is partitioned into its several contributing components, quantifying these components, and proposing methods to perform site-specific seismic hazard analyses without double counting uncertainties. Four random field models were developed, and an existing one was fitted to a different database. These models can be used to generate shear-wave velocity profiles for site response analyses. Two types of models are presented, using Gaussian random fields, and using Markov Chains. The first ones showed better performance, and among those a stationary Gaussian model (stationary on [rho]) showed the best performance, and it is the simplest among the five models. Three GMPE s were developed, one only from surface records, one from at-depth records, and a third one combining surface and at-depth records. The results show the same magnitude and distance scaling for the three equations. For stations that recorded a large number of records, total uncertainty was measured by the standard deviation of the observed minus predicted, and similarly for intra-event residuals. These statistics serve as lower bounds for site-specific seismic hazard analyses, note that these standard deviations are non-ergodic. The use of a GMPE capable of predicting bedrock and surface median ground motions, allows the partition of the components of the total uncertainty at the surface into those related to the bedrock ground motion and those to site response. These components and their correlations are presented. Measurements at a site can potentially reduce the uncertainty in the ground motion prediction from that calculated using the ergodic assumption, to that observed at single sites. This implies a reduction on the order of 25%.

Surface thermodynamic properties of subsurface colloids
Creators: name: Shang, Jianying
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Colloids -- Thermal properties

description: Thermodynamic properties of subsurface colloids are important information for understanding a variety of phenomena, such as adhesion, flotation, mobility, fate, and transport of various colloids in the unsaturated subsurface environments. The goal of this research was to study contact angles of subsurface colloids and to elucidate the mechanism of colloid mobilization in unsaturated porous media. The main objectives were as follows: 1. To investigate the impact of water content during infiltration in porous media on colloid release patterns, rates, and quantity, and to elucidate the dominant colloid release mechanisms. 2. To compare different experimental methods to determine contact angles of subsurface colloids. 3. To investigate the effects of cations and humidity on contact angles and surface tensions of subsurface colloids. 4. To clarify the role of a moving air-water interface on colloid mobilization in porous media. We conducted experiments on in situ colloid mobilization under transient conditions using columns repacked with sediments. The cumulative amount of colloids released was proportional to the column water content established after steady-state flow rates were achieved. According to DLVO theory and the Young-Laplace equation, the electrostatic, van der Waals, hydrodynamic, and capillary forces exerted on colloids were calculated and used to analyze the experimental results. Five different methods, static sessile drop, dynamic sessile drop, Wilhelmy plate, thin-layer wicking, and column wicking, were used to measure the contact angles of subsurface colloids. The colloids were deposited on glass slides to make thin films. The colloidal films can be categorized into three types: (1) films without pores and with polar-liquid interactions (smectite), (2) films with pores and with polar-liquid interactions (kaolinite, illite, goethite), and (3) films without pores and no polar-liquid interactions (hematite). Based on our results, we could recommend specific methods for different colloids. The effects of surface and interlayer cations, and relative humidity on contact angle measurements of colloids were investigated using the sessile drop method. Surface tension components and parameters of the colloids were calculated from contact angles using the Lewis acid-base approach. The effects of cations and relative humidity were reflected in the surface tension components of the colloids. To quantify the forces acting on a solid particle when an air-water interface passes over the particle, we used a tensiometer to measure the forces between the particle and the air-water interface. Theoretical calculations using the Young-Laplace equation were used to support the experimental data and conclusions. The theoretical forces as a function of [zeta]-potential, particle radius, and contact angle were calculated to unveil the mechanistic principle of colloid mobilization in the vadose zone.

Gender roles

description: The current research explores the relationship between traditional gender attitudes, community-level social capital, and acts of violence against women. Very few studies have empirically addressed the relationship between gender (role) attitudes and sexual violence and/or domestic violence. Many theorists and researchers take for granted that there is a relationship between traditional attitudes and violence against women, notwithstanding the lack of empirical evidence. This dissertation seeks to answer the question of the extent to which traditional beliefs about gender or gender roles are associated with increased levels of sexual assault and/or domestic violence in cross-sectional comparisons on the county-level using psychographic data from the Leigh Stowell Archival Datasets and official records on violence perpetrated by men against women obtained from the National Incident-Based Reporting System. There is also an investigation of the extent to which social capital serves as a protective factor with respect to the safety of women in 27 counties.

description: Bootstrap percolation on an arbitrary graph has a random initial configuration, where each vertex is occupied with probability p, independently of each other, and a deterministic spreading rule with a fixed parameter k: if a vacant site has at least k occupied neighbors at a certain time step, then it becomes occupied in the next step. This process is well-studied on Z^d; here we investigate it on regular and general infinite trees and on non-amenable Cayley graphs. The critical probability is the infimum of those values of p for which the process achieves complete occupation with positive probability. On general trees, we find the following discontinuity: if the branching number of a tree is strictly smaller than k, then the critical probability is 1, while it is 1-1/k on the k-ary tree. A related result is that in any rooted tree T, there is a way of erasing k children of the root, together with all their descendants, and repeating this for all remaining children, and so on, such that the remaining tree T' has branching number \br(T') \leq \max (\br(T)-k, 0). We also prove that on any 2k-regular non-amenable graph, the critical probability for the k-rule is strictly positive.

description: For pulsars born in supernovae, the expansion of the shocked pulsar wind nebula is initially in the freely expanding ejecta of the supernova. While the nebula is in the inner flat part of the ejecta density profile, the swept-up, accelerating shell is subject to the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. We carried out 2 and 3-dimensional simulations showing that the instability gives rise to filamentary structure during this initial phase but does not greatly change the dynamics of the expanding shell. The flow is effectively self-similar. If the shell is powered into the outer steep part of the density profile, the shell is subject to a robust Rayleigh-Taylor instability in which the shell is fragmented and the shocked pulsar wind breaks out through the shell. The flow is not self-similar in this phase. For a wind nebula to reach this phase requires that the deposited pulsar energy be greater than the supernova energy, or that the initial pulsar period be in the ms range for a typical $10^{51}$ erg supernova. These conditions are satisfied by some magnetar models for Type I superluminous supernovae. We also consider the Crab Nebula, which may be associated with a low energy supernova for which this scenario applies.

description: We propose a novel unsupervised game-theoretic salient object detection algorithm that does not require labeled training data. First, saliency detection problem is formulated as a non-cooperative game, hereinafter referred to as Saliency Game, in which image regions are players who choose to be "background" or "foreground" as their pure strategies. A payoff function is constructed by exploiting multiple cues and combining complementary features. Saliency maps are generated according to each region's strategy in the Nash equilibrium of the proposed Saliency Game. Second, we explore the complementary relationship between color and deep features and propose an Iterative Random Walk algorithm to combine saliency maps produced by the Saliency Game using different features. Iterative random walk allows sharing information across feature spaces, and detecting objects that are otherwise very hard to detect. Extensive experiments over 6 challenging datasets demonstrate the superiority of our proposed unsupervised algorithm compared to several state of the art supervised algorithms.

description: No Child Left Behind has increased the demand for evidence of student achievement in America's public schools. As a result, the importance of the role of superintendent as instructional leader has increased. Some superintendents have responded to this demand by mandating that principals increase their presence in classrooms; yet, research on superintendent perspectives regarding this practice is lacking. The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of twelve superintendents in Washington State who have mandated that principals in their district must spend a portion of each day in classrooms. This qualitative study examined what the superintendents hoped to accomplish through the mandate and it explored the superintendents' beliefs about the structures and systems that they put into place to support the principals' implementation of this practice; in addition, the study analyzed the superintendents' perspectives in relation to various theories of leadership, change, and accountability in complex systems. The study found that superintendents hoped that the implementation of learning-walks would positively impact the instructional core. The adoption of a common instructional model was a prerequisite to effective implementation of learning-walks. With a common instructional model, instructional practices could be compared to a standard for quality. In districts where learning-walks had been implemented the longest, teachers joined administrators in learning-walks. Superintendents reported that this practice supported the development of a culture of continuous improvement. Various learning-walk practices were discovered, including principal learningwalks, superintendent-principal learning-walks, administrative team learning-walks, and teacher learning-walks. Some superintendents required principals to complete logs or forms to document follow-through. Others used face-to-face accountability, emphasizing that learning-walks were a means to an end. Superintendents implemented various structures and systems to support principals in their work to improve the instructional core. Frequently noted were the use of consultants, instructional coaches, and time for teachers to collaborate.

description: We analyze observations obtained with the Chandra X-ray Observatory of bright Compton thick active galactic nuclei (AGNs), those with column densities in excess of 1.5 x 10^{24} cm^{-2} along the lines of sight. We therefore view the powerful central engines only indirectly, even at X-ray energies. Using high spatial resolution and considering only galaxies that do not contain circumnuclear starbursts, we reveal the variety of emission AGNs alone may produce. Approximately 1% of the continuum's intrinsic flux is detected in reflection in each case. The only hard X-ray feature is the prominent Fe K alpha fluorescence line, with equivalent width greater than 1 keV in all sources. The Fe line luminosity provides the best X-ray indicator of the unseen intrinsic AGN luminosity. In detail, the morphologies of the extended soft X-ray emission and optical line emission are similar, and line emission dominates the soft X-ray spectra. Thus, we attribute the soft X-ray emission to material that the central engines photoionize. Because the resulting spectra are complex and do not reveal the AGNs directly, crude analysis techniques such as hardness ratios would mis-classify these galaxies as hosts of intrinsically weak, unabsorbed AGNs and would fail to identify the luminous, absorbed nuclei that are present. We demonstrate that a three-band X-ray diagnostic can correctly classify Compton thick AGNs, even when significant soft X-ray line emission is present. The active nuclei produce most of the galaxies' total observed emission over a broad spectral range, and much of their light emerges at far-infrared wavelengths. Stellar contamination of the infrared emission can be severe, however, making long-wavelength data alone unreliable indicators of the buried AGN luminosity.

description: We introduce a novel remote interface to control and optimize the experimental production of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) and find improved solutions using two distinct implementations. First, a team of theoreticians employed a Remote version of their dCRAB optimization algorithm (RedCRAB), and second a gamified interface allowed 600 citizen scientists from around the world to participate in real-time optimization. Quantitative studies of player search behavior demonstrated that they collectively engage in a combination of local and global search. This form of adaptive search prevents premature convergence by the explorative behavior of low-performing players while high-performing players locally refine their solutions. In addition, many successful citizen science games have relied on a problem representation that directly engaged the visual or experiential intuition of the players. Here we demonstrate that citizen scientists can also be successful in an entirely abstract problem visualization. This gives encouragement that a much wider range of challenges could potentially be open to gamification in the future.

Increased event frequency increases binding strength among feature codes

Subjects: Memory

description: Withholding an action plan in memory for later execution can delay execution of another action, if the actions share a similar (compatible) action feature (e.g., response hand). This phenomenon, termed compatibility interference (CI) is thought to be caused by feature binding among action features that become unavailable when bound. We investigated whether increasing event frequency can cause the bindings of these features to increase in strength and bind together earlier. Participants planned and withheld a sequence of key-press responses (with their right or left hand) based on the identity of a stimulus (Event A), and then immediately executed a key-press response (with their right or left hand) to a second stimulus (Event B) based on the color of a pound sign. Four different stimuli were used for Event A, and one of those four stimuli was randomly selected to be presented three times more often than the other three. Event A and Event B were presented within 1250 ms of one another (Experiment 1) or within 100 ms of one another (Experiment 2). Results showed that the response to Event B was delayed when it required the same response hand as Event A as opposed to a different hand (CI), and the size of the CI effect was larger when Event A shared a high frequency response hand feature with Event B than when it did not. Implications for the Theory of Event Coding (e.g., Hommel, Mu?sseler, Aschersleben & Prinz, 2001) are discussed.

description: Electric vehicles (EVs) can be employed intelligently in Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) modes for Load Frequency Control (LFC) in the power grid. Due to the rapid variation of charging or discharging power, EVs can perform frequency regulation tasks and serve as distributed energy storage devices. In this paper, a linearized model of an interconnected multi-area power system is formulated in the restructured environment to include Electric Vehicle Aggregators (EVA). The DISCO Participation Matrix (DPM) is used to model Poolco and bilateral contracts in restructured multi-area power systems along with the participation of EVs. The faster dynamic response of EVs can effectively control the deviations in area frequencies imposed by the DISCOs load demand. The gains of the integral controller employed in each area are tuned by Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RGA) by minimizing the integral square error function for area frequency deviations. The efficacy of power support from the EVs for load frequency control is validated by simulating different Poolco and bilateral transactions. It is shown that the EVs have a significant impact on obtaining optimal transient response for area frequencies, tie-line powers and power generation of conventional thermal generating units for any type of transaction in a restructured environment.
GRB 170817A: a short GRB seen off-axis

description: The angular distribution of GRB jets is not yet clear. The observed luminosity of GRB 170817A is the lowest among all known short GRBs, which is best explained by the fact that our line of sight is outside of the jet opening angle, $θ_{obs}$ $>$ $θ_j$, where $θ_{obs}$ is the angle between our line of sight and jet axis. Inferred by gravitational wave observations, as well as radio and X-ray afterglow modeling of GRB 170817A, it is likely that $θ_{obs}$ $\sim$ 20$^{\circ}$ -- 28$^{\circ}$. In this work, we quantitatively consider two scenarios of angular energy distribution of GRB ejecta: top-hat jet, and structured jet with a power law index $s$. For top-hat jet model, we get a large $θ_j$ (e.g., $θ_{j}$$>$$10^{\circ}$), a rather high local (i.e., z$$7.5$\times10^4$keV($\sim$500keV for typical short GRB). For structured jet model, we use $θ_{obs}$ to give limits on $s$ and $θ_{j}$ for a typical on-axis luminosity short GRB (e.g., $10^{49}$ erg s$^{-1}$$\sim$$10^{51}$ erg s$^{-1}$), and a low on-axis luminosity case (e.g., $10^{49}$ erg s$^{-1}$) gives more reasonable values of $s$. A structured jet model is more feasible for GRB 170817A than a top-hat jet model, due to the rather high local short GRB rate and the extremely high on-axis $E_{peak,0}$ almost rules out the top-hat jet model. GRB 170817A is likely a low on-axis luminosity GRB ($10^{49}$ erg s$^{-1}$) with a structured jet.

description: We study the two-flavor color superconductivity of low-temperature quark matter in the vicinity of chiral phase transition in the quark-meson model where the interactions between quarks are generated by pion and sigma exchanges. Starting from the Nambu-Gor'kov propagator in real-time formulation we obtain finite temperature (real axis) Eliashberg-type equations for the quark self-energies (gap functions) in terms of the in-medium spectral function of mesons. Exact numerical solutions of the coupled nonlinear integral equations for the real and imaginary parts of the gap function are obtained in the zero temperature limit using a model input spectral function. We find that these components of the gap display a complicated structure with the real part being strongly suppressed above $2Δ_0$, where $Δ_0$ is its on-shell value. We find $Δ_0\simeq 40$ MeV close to the chiral phase transition.

description: Generative Artificial Intelligence - and in particular large language models - are changing the way we use computers. In this talk Dr. Haase explains the underlying principles and gives examples how large language models such as OpenAI's chatGPT can be used to do Bio-image Analysis. We will see how prompts to language models are designed to make the language model produce high-quality Python code to analyse microscopy images and tabular data. The seminar will come with practical exercises attendees can do right after the talk and follow-up discussions will be possible using the Image Science Forum https://image.sc .

description: Modern quantum technologies in the fields of quantum computing, quantum simulation and quantum metrology require the creation and control of large ensembles of entangled particles. In ultracold ensembles of neutral atoms, highly entangled states containing thousands of particles have been generated, outnumbering any other physical system by orders of magnitude. The entanglement generation relies on the fundamental particle-exchange symmetry in ensembles of identical particles, which lacks the standard notion of entanglement between clearly definable subsystems. Here we present the generation of entanglement between two spatially separated clouds by splitting an ensemble of ultracold identical particles. Since the clouds can be addressed individually, our experiments open a path to exploit the available entangled states of indistinguishable particles for quantum information applications.

description: We demonstrate that multiple topological transitions can occur, with high-sensitivity, by continuous change of the geometry of a simple 2D dielectric-frame photonic crystal consisting of circular air-holes. By changing the radii of the holes and/or the distance between them, multiple transitions between normal and topological photonic band gaps (PBGs) can appear. The time-reversal symmetric topological PBGs resemble the quantum spin-Hall insulator of electrons and have two counter-propagating edge states. We search for optimal topological transitions, i.e., sharp transitions sensitive to the geometry, and optimal topological PBGs, i.e., large PBGs with clean spectrum of edge states. Such optimizations reveal that dielectric-frame photonic crystals are promising for optical sensors and unidirectional waveguides.
