摘要: A semiconductor device includes a ribbon of a thickness and a width. A material of the ribbon is configured to host excitons as well as plasmons, and the width is an inverse function of a wavector value at which an energy level of plasmons in the material substantially equals an energy level of excitons in the material. The substantially equal energies of the plasmons and the excitons in the ribbon cause an excitation of intrinsic plasmon-exciton polaritons (IPEPs) in the ribbon. A first contact electrically couples to a first location on the ribbon, and a second contact electrically couples to a second location on the ribbon.

摘要: A computer-implemented method of forming a thermal-based electronic image of an object that includes receiving electromagnetic radiation emitted by the object at an optically sensitive layer including a superpixel having a plurality of pixels. Each pixel of the plurality of pixels includes a plasmonic absorber having a characteristic resonance wavelength and that generates a radiance measurement of the electromagnetic radiation at its characteristic resonance wavelength. The method further provides for determining, at a processor, an emissivity and temperature for the electromagnetic radiation received at the superpixel using the radiance measurements obtained at the pixels of the superpixel. In addition, the method provides for forming an image of the object from the determined emissivity and temperature.

摘要: Methods and systems for mitigating the effects of defects in a quantum processor are provided. A mitigation system uses an iterative process of applying light pulses and examining qubit relaxation times to eliminate or minimize two-level system (TLS) interaction with qubits. The system applies a first light pulse to illuminate a quantum processor having one or more qubits. The system receives qubit relaxation times that are measured at different electric field frequencies after applying the first light pulse. The system applies a second light pulse to illuminate the quantum processor upon determining that the received qubit relaxation times indicates presence of a strongly coupled TLS in the quantum processor
