The interaction of a resonant light field with a quantum two-level system is of key interest both for fundamental quantum optics and quantum technological applications employing resonant excitation. While emission under resonant continuous-wave excitation has been well studied, the more complex emission spectrum of dynamically dressed states-a quantum two-level system driven by resonant pulsed excitation-has so far been investigated in detail only theoretically. Here, we present the first experimental observation of the complete resonance fluorescence emission spectrum of a single quantum two-level system, in the form of an excitonic transition in a semiconductor quantum dot, driven by finite Gaussian pulses.

Methods: An Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved study consists of 28 professional ballet dancers and 64 asymptomatic collegiate athletes. The athletes were further subdivided into runner and non-runner disciplines.
Article Synopsis
- SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing antibodies (nABs) have shown potential in COVID-19 treatment, but resistant strains have made most existing nABs ineffective, highlighting the need for new cocktails targeting distinct epitopes.
- A discovery program used traditional methods combined with AI predictions to identify two potent nABs, which were validated through animal testing.
- However, structural analysis revealed that the AI predictions were flawed, as both nABs targeted the same binding epitope, emphasizing that experimental validation is crucial in selecting effective nABs.
Vascular impairment is closely related to increased mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The objective of this study was to assess impairments in the regulation of peripheral microvascular perfusion in patients with CKD based on time-frequency spectral analysis of resting near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) signals. Total hemoglobin (tHb) concentration and tissue saturation index (TSI) signals were collected using NIRS for a continuous 5 mins at 10 Hz from the forearm of 55 participants (34 CKD including 5 with end-stage renal disease, and 21 age-matched control).

Purpose: To evaluate the sensitivity of intra-voxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) MRI to microvascular changes in patients with DFUs.
Study Type: Case-control.
