    Experimental results

    Spectroscopic investigations

    Figure S1 represents the entire emission spectrum of the plasma zone at a voltage of 10 kV and frequency of 50 kHz at different times. The dominant features are the NO γ bands, ·OH radicals, and…

    XRD analysis

    Figure 4 represents the XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis of the Hg0, Hg1, Hg2, Hg3, Hg4, and Hg5 samples of the PE/HgO polymer composite. As can be observed, although the curves of all the samples have a peak at around 200, the…

    Optical characterization of QRNG

    The scheme for our QRNG is shown in Fig. 1, along with the simplified integration of the QRNG output bit-stream into the QKD system. Our low-SWaP QRNG is based on the interference of phase-randomized pulses25,26….

    Heat engines for scale invariant systems dual to black holes

    CFT heat engines

    We consider heat engines whose working substance is a static, global thermodynamic equilibrium state of a CFT in D spacetime dimensions. The working substance traces a closed thermodynamic cycle, returning to its initial state. We…

    Error mitigation with stabilized noise in superconducting quantum processors

    Stabilizing

    T1 In this section, we focus on temporal fluctuations of the qubit–TLS interaction and different strategies to minimize its impact on T1. Over a 60 h period, the qubit T1 values on the device are seen to fluctuate on average by…
