  • Member Services 2018
    AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Member Services 2018 JANUARY – DECEMBER 2018 GUIDELINES FOR PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT The Constitution of the American Physical Society states that the objective of the Society shall be the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It is the purpose of this statement to advance that objective by presenting ethical guidelines for Society members. Each physicist is a citizen of the community of science. Each shares responsibility for the welfare of this community. Science is best advanced when there is mutual trust, based upon honest behavior, throughout the community. Acts of deception, or any other acts that deliberately compromise the advancement of science, are unacceptable. Honesty must be regarded as the cornerstone of ethics in science. Professional integrity in the formulation, conduct, and report- ing of physics activities reflects not only on the reputations of individual physicists and their organizations, but also on the image and credibility of the physics profession as perceived by scientific colleagues, government and the public. It is important that the tradition of ethical behavior be carefully maintained and transmitted with enthusiasm to future generations. The following are the minimal standards of ethical behavior relating to several critical aspects of the physics profession. Physicists have an individual and a collective responsibility to ensure that there is no compromise with these guidelines. RESEARCH RESULTS The results of research should be recorded and maintained in a form that allows analysis and review. Research data should be immediately available to scientific collaborators. Following publication, the data should be retained for a reasonable period in order to be available promptly and completely to responsible scientists.

  • Editorial: Chris Leighton Introduces Physical Review Materials
    PHYSICAL REVIEW MATERIALS 1, 010002 (2017) Editorial: Chris Leighton Introduces Physical Review Materials Materials research is arguably one of the most active and dynamic areas in contemporary science. While fundamentally interdisciplinary, research on materials is also inextricably linked to physics, and it is thus fitting that materials feature prominently in several APS journals, including Physical Review Letters (PRL), Physical Review X (PRX), Physical Review Applied (PR Applied), Physical Review B (PRB), and Physical Review E (PRE). The Physical Review has never featured, however, a journal with an explicit focus on materials. This changed on April 4th of this year, when Physical Review Materials (PR Materials), the newest member of the Physical Review family, was launched. Born from a deliberate process of reflection, analysis, and information gathering, with considerable input from the APS community, PR Materials aims to fully embrace research in materials, best serving the broad international community of researchers active in this area. This community is increasingly interdisciplinary, encompassing physicists, materials scientists, chemists, and engineers, with a shared interest in the prediction, synthesis, processing, structure, properties, and performance of a staggering variety of materials. PR Materials will reflect each of these areas, publishing high quality original research in theoretical and experimental areas (as both Regular Articles and Rapid Communications), in addition to Reviews of emerging fields. I am proud and excited to be the inaugural Lead Editor of PR Materials. This is a role I will work in mostly remotely, as I continue my faculty position in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota.

    A near-ideal degenerate parametric amplifier Daniel J. Parker,1 Mykhailo Savytskyi,1 Wyatt Vine,1 Arne Laucht,1 Timothy Duty,2 Andrea Morello,1 Arne L. Grimsmo,3 and Jarryd J. Pla1 1School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia 2School of Physics, UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia 3Centre for Engineered Quantum Systems, School of Physics, The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia Degenerate parametric amplifiers (DPAs) exhibit the unique property of phase-sensitive gain and can be used to noiselessly amplify small signals or squeeze field fluctuations beneath the vacuum level. In the microwave domain, these amplifiers have been utilized to measure qubits in elementary quantum processors, search for dark matter, facilitate high-sensitivity spin resonance spectroscopy and have even been proposed as the building blocks for a measurement based quantum computer. Until now, microwave DPAs have almost exclusively been made from nonlinear Josephson junctions, which exhibit high-order nonlinearities that limit their dynamic range and squeezing potential. In this work we investigate a new microwave DPA that exploits a nonlinearity engineered from kinetic inductance. The device has a simple design and displays a dynamic range that is four orders of magnitude greater than state-of-the-art Josephson DPAs. We measure phase sensitive gains up to 50 dB and demonstrate a near-quantum-limited noise performance. Additionally, we show that the higher-order nonlinearities that limit other microwave DPAs are almost non-existent for this amplifier, which allows us to demonstrate its exceptional squeezing potential by measuring the deamplification of coherent states by as much as 26 dB.

Illustration by Alan Stonebraker. FROM THE PRESIDENT his was a good year for physics, the APS, and its members. The Higgs continued to grab headlines, Twith the awarding of the Nobel Prize to François Englert and Peter Higgs. Their award-winning papers on the Higgs mechanism were published in Physical Review Letters (where else?). The DPF organized a “Higgs Fest” on Capitol Hill, attended by 10 members of Congress and several hundred others, to celebrate the Higgs and the U.S. role in discovering it. In this, the hundredth year of our publishing the Physical Review, the APS prepared to add a new jour- nal to the family—Physical Review Applied. Our newest journal will publish the highest-quality papers at the intersection of physics and engineering, in areas including materials, surface and interface science; device physics; condensed matter physics and optics. 2013 was a big year for APS global engagement. We had our first overseas Fellows receptions—in London and Tokyo—and the Executive Board held its annual retreat abroad, at the Kavli Royal Society International Centre at Chicheley Hall, just outside London.

However, already for entangled systems of a few tens of constituents, exact numerical simulations on classical computers can become impossible. Quantum simulators based on well-controlled quantum system might provide the only effective approach to these systems. Trapped atomic ions offer a uniquely precise and con- trollable platform. They are used as platforms for, e.g., future quantum computers, quantum simulators, and extremely precise clocks. Quantum-simulation problems of interest and out-of-reach for modern theoretical methods include the dynamics of one-dimensional systems on long time scales and more-than-one dimensional systems with long-range interaction. For the latter, two-dimensional arrays of ions, individually trapped and controlled above microfabricated surface-electrode traps, present a prom- ising approach. In the first realizations so far, the inter-site distance between the ions was too large to allow for sufficient inter-site coupling. We aim for a scalable approach to an analog quantum simulator based on a two-dimensional array of individually trapped ions. As a first demonstration, we operate an array of three magnesium ions in triangular arrangement with a side-length of 40 µm.
