Single-event upset (SEU) fault tolerance for systems-on-chip (SoCs) in radiation-heavy environments is often addressed by architectural fault-tolerance approaches protecting individual SoC components (e.g., cores, memories) in isolation.…
An Application Specific Instruction set Processor (ASIP) is an important component in designing embedded systems. One of the problems in designing an instruction set for such processors is determining the number of registers is needed in…
In this paper, we consider matrices given as a linear combination of permutations and analyze the impact of bit and phase-flips on the perturbation of the eigenvalues. When the coefficients in the linear combination are positive, we observe…
Single particle interference lies at the heart of quantum mechanics. The archetypal double-slit experiment has been repeated with electrons in vacuum up to the more massive $C_{60}$ molecules. Mesoscopic rings threaded by a magnetic flux…
In a paper from 2006, Couder and Fort [1] describe a version of the famous double slit experiment performed with drops bouncing on a vibrated fluid surface, where interference in the particle statistics is found even though it is possible…
The spin of a confined electron, when oriented originally in some direction, will lose memory of that orientation after some time. Physical mechanisms leading to this relaxation of spin memory typically involve either coupling of the…
Phase-locked loops (PLL), Costas loops and other synchronizing circuits are featured by the presence of a nonlinear phase detector, described by a periodic nonlinearity. In general, nonlinearities can cause complex behavior of the system…
SRAM-based FPGAs are increasingly popular in the aerospace industry due to their field programmability and low cost. However, they suffer from cosmic radiation induced Single Event Upsets (SEUs). In safety-critical applications, the…

Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) protect major hazard facilities, e.g. power plants, against catastrophic accidents. An SIS consists of hardware components and a controller software -- the ``program''. Current safety analyses of SIS'…
Recently, the possibility of an all electrical scheme of preparation and readout for a single spin state in a single quantum dot attached to spin biased leads has been shown [F. Chi et al., Phys. Rev. B 81, 075310 (2010)]. However, spin…
In electronics, information has been traditionally stored, processed and communicated using an electron's charge. This paradigm is increasingly turning out to be energy-inefficient, because movement of charge within an…
