Hyper-Ramsey protocols effectively reduce AC-Stark shifts in probing ultra-narrow optical clock transitions but they remain sensitive to laser intensity noise, decoherence, frequency drifts, and low-frequency perturbations. We address these…
Bioimpedance measurements are a non-invasive method to determine the composition of organic tissue. For measuring the complex bioimpedance between two electrodes, an alternating current with a constant amplitude is injected into the tissue.…
