    Measuring the inductance of a micron feature size gold coil

    Hi, thanks for this! How would I proceed in measuring the inductance using frequency domain reflectometry? I understand that one-way would be to basically build an LCR series circuit with proper impedance matching with respect to the source transmission line and to measure the reflectance at the...

    Measuring the inductance of a micron feature size gold coil

    Hi all, I recently fabricated a bunch of gold coils patterned onto a glass substrate and am in need of measuring the inductance of these samples. Since the feature size is in microns, I can't exactly use an RLC meter. At the moment, I'm trying to build an LCR series circuit with a PCB and...

    I Capping layer in semiconductor quantum dot fabrication

    Hi everyone, I've been studying about semiconductor heterostructures and in particular quantum dots. I was wondering, why is there a need to have a "capping" layer above the layer where the quantum dots are formed within a sample? Thanks in advance!

    Finding unitary operator associated with a given Hamiltonian

    Now from the relevant equations, $$U(t) = \exp(-i \omega \sigma_1 t)$$ which is easy to compute provided the Hamiltonian is diagonalized. Writing ##\sigma_1## in its eigenbasis, we get $$\sigma_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0\\ 0 & -1\\ \end{pmatrix} $$ and hence the unitary ##U(t)## becomes...

    I On the anomalous Hall effect

    Hi! Reading through this paper, the Hall resistivity in ferromagnetic materials is given by $$\rho_H = R_0 B + 4 \pi R_s M$$ It is mentioned that ##R_s## (anomalous Hall coefficient) is significantly larger than ##R_0## (ordinary Hall coefficient) and has a strong dependence on temperature...

    I Query on spin Hall voltage

    Hi! I'm trying to understand the dependence of spin hall voltage on various parameters of the material. I have been going through this paper, and it is mentioned that $$V_{SH} = 2 \pi R_s L j_x n \mu_B$$ In the equation, only ##L## and ##j_x## seem to be the variables. Does increasing ##L##...

    Studying Advice for studying at home during the pandemic

    Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing well in these tough times. Currently my country is going through one of the toughest second waves of Covid and frankly seeing the news is terrifying to say the least. Being at home, I've noticed that I haven't been able to study for a significant period of...

    I Extraction of a particular quantum state from a quantum circuit

    This is my reference circuit. This clearly produces the state ##\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|01\rangle + |10\rangle)##. This is obviously until the measurement is done. However, I'm trying to implement a circuit which essentially gives me a 50-50 chance of getting either ##|01\rangle## or...

    I Extraction of a particular quantum state from a quantum circuit

    Hello everyone! I'm trying to implement a quantum circuit that yields a superposition state $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (|01 \rangle + |10 \rangle)$$ I'm using parameterized gates to achieve this.

    I came across a problem regarding a paper being rolled into a tube. When a piece of paper is rolled into a tube and then left to unwind, it is always seen that the unwinding happens in jerks and not smoothly. Why is it so? What I have thought (and thanks to some discussions on reddit), that...

    Which bulb glows brighter?

    The power ratings of bulbs come along with a voltage value. For example a bulb with rating 1000W,40V means that when 40V is supplied to the bulb, its power consumption will be 1000W. Now ponder over this and you should arrive at the answer.
