The correlations of fluctuations are key to studying fundamental quantum physics and quantum many-body dynamics. They are also useful information for understanding and combating decoherence in quantum technology. Nonlinear spectroscopy and…
A neutron spectrometer, the European Low-Energy Neutron Spectrometer (ELENS), has been constructed to study exotic nuclei in inverse-kinematics experiments. The spectrometer, which consists of plastic scintillator bars, can be operated in…
We find a new utility of neutrons, usually treated as an experimental nuisance causing unwanted background, in probing new physics signals. They can either be radiated from neutrons (neutron bremsstrahlung) or appear through secondary…
On 2010 MINOS experiment was showing an hint of possible different mass splitting and mixing angles for neutrinos and anti-neutrinos, suggesting a charge-parity-time (CPT) violation in the lepton sector; last year 2012 a second result from…
We propose using spin-qubit noise magnetometry to probe dynamical signatures of magnetic Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) physics. For a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center coupled to two-dimensional XY magnets, we predict distinctive…
Magnetic torque is used to actuate nano-torsional resonators, which are fabricated by focused-ion-beam milling of permalloy coated silicon nitride membranes. Optical interferometry is used to measure the mechanical response of two torsion…
In this work, we show that a recently proposed method for experimental nonlinear modal analysis based on the extended periodic motion concept is well suited to extract modal properties for strongly nonlinear systems (i.e. in the presence of…
We investigate the intriguing phenomenon of beta decay of a free neutron in a non-plane-wave(structured) state. Our analysis covers three types of states: unpolarized vortex (Bessel) neutrons that possess nonzero orbital angular momentum…
Quantum sensing exploits the strong sensitivity of quantum systems to measure small external signals. The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is one of the most promising platforms for real-world quantum sensing applications,…
A new type of radiation detector, a p-type modified electrode germanium diode, is presented. The prototype displays, for the first time, a combination of features (mass, energy threshold and background expectation) required for a…
Three new measures of relative electron motion are introduced: equimomentum, antimomentum, and momentum-balance. The equimomentum is the probability that two electrons have the exact same momentum, whereas the antimomentum is the…
We have developed a methodology for analyzing multi-frequency oscillating magnetic fields using neutron spin interferometry. A theoretical formulation was derived of the contrast and the phase of the interference pattern for an input…
Magnetic neutron scattering measures spin-spin correlations giving information about the long-range spin order as well as the shape of the spin density in magnetic materials. Similarly, detailed first principles calculations directly…
Experiments in nuclear and particle physics often use magnetic fields to guide charged reaction products to a detector. Due to their gyration in the guide field, the particles hit the detector within an area that can be considerably larger…

Momentum measurements for very high momentum charged particles, such as muons from electroweak vector boson decays, are particularly susceptible to charge-dependent curvature biases that arise from misalignments of tracking detectors. Low…
