Cold atoms laboratory in a hollow core fiber by Leong, Wui Seng

“…However, due to the diffraction nature of light, miniaturizing quantum systems involving atom-light interactions has been highly limited. To avoid diffraction, I load cold atoms into a hollow-core fiber (HCF) and demonstrate four major experiments inside the fiber: inertia-sensitive Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer, long-lived quantum spin coherence, light storage and creation of an array of Schr\"odinger cat states. …”

Compact x-ray source based on burst-mode inverse Compton scattering at 100 kHz by Bessuille, J., Brown, P., Carbajo, S., Dolgashev, Valery A., Lin, H., Murari, K., Resta, G., Tantawi, S., Zapata, L. E., Graves, William S., Hong, Kyung-Han, Ihloff, Ernest E., Khaykovich, Boris, Nanni, Emilio Alessandro, Kaertner, Franz X., Moncton, David E.

“…At a photon energy of 12.4 keV, the predicted x-ray flux is 5×10[superscript 11]  photons/second in a 5% bandwidth and the brilliance is 2 × 10[superscript 12]  photons/(sec mm[superscript 2] mrad[superscript 2]  0.1%) in pulses with rms pulse length of 490 fs. The nominal electron beam parameters are 18 MeV kinetic energy, 10 microamp average current, 0.5 microsecond macropulse length, resulting in average electron beam power of 180 W. …”

Automated Engineering Design for Reusable Concrete Building Structures by Wongsittikan, Pitipat

“…The Pixelframe structural system [1] was proposed to facilitate the reusability of concrete components by implementing the existing external post-tensioning system in bridge structures and fiber reinforced system to design building beams and columns. This work presents an automated engineering design workflow for Pixelframe, including a engineering mechanics of the system that conforms to ACI 318- 19 [2] and fib Model Code 2010 [3], half-scale tests to verify the preliminary behavior of the system, and a scalable design algorithm for minimum embodied carbon designs. …”

Artificial Intelligence and the US-China Balance of Power by Chang, Benjamin Angel

“…Finally, the third essay exploits supply chain datasets to assess each side’s ability to bring AI-enabled autonomous weapons to bear in future conventional conflicts. I find that control over the production of advanced AI chips by the United States and allies almost certainly means the United States would better exploit such weapons, if they emerged as decisive in modern warfare, within at least the next ten years. …”
