We report on a scheme for loading dysprosium atoms into a narrow-line three-dimensional magneto-optical trap (3D MOT). Our innovative approach replaces the conventional Zeeman slower with a 2D MOT operating on the broad 421-nm line to…
We describe a new algorithm, termed subspace evolution and transfer (SET), for solving low-rank matrix completion problems. The algorithm takes as its input a subset of entries of a low-rank matrix, and outputs one low-rank matrix…
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a 10 meter telescope operating at mm wavelengths. It has recently completed a three-band survey covering 2500 sq. degrees. One of the survey's main goals is to detect galaxy clusters using Sunyaev-Zeldovich…
We demonstrate a novel algorithmic approach for the second-harmonic-generation (SHG) frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) ultrashort-pulse-measurement technique that always converges and, for complex pulses, is also much faster. It…

We have shown in paper I of this series (arXiv:1706.03795) that interstellar communication to nearby (pc) stars is possible at data rates of bits per second per Watt between a 1 m sized probe and a large receiving telescope (E-ELT, 39 m),…
A bi-level optimization framework (BiOPT) was proposed in [3] for convex composite optimization, which is a generalization of bi-level unconstrained minimization framework (BLUM) given in [20]. In this continuation paper, we introduce a…
