In contrast to many other engineering fields, the uncertainties in subsurface processes (e.g., fluid flow and contaminant transport in aquifers) and their parameters are notoriously difficult to observe, measure, and characterize. This…
Trapped-ion technology is a leading approach for scalable quantum computing. A key element of ion trapping is reliable loading of atomic sources into the trap. While thermal atomic ovens have traditionally been used for this purpose, laser…
Field ion microscopy (FIM) allows to image individual surface atoms by exploiting the effect of an intense electric field. Widespread use of atomic resolution imaging by FIM has been hampered by a lack of efficient image processing/data…
