Neural fingerprinting on MEG time series using MiniRocket.

Neural fingerprinting is the identification of individuals in a cohort based on neuroimaging recordings of brain activity. In magneto- and electroencephalography (M/EEG), it is common practice to use second-order statistical measures, such as correlation or connectivity matrices, when neural fingerprinting is performed. These measures or features typically require coupling between signal channels and often ignore the individual temporal dynamics.

Reconfigurable re-entrant cavity for wireless coupling to an electro-optomechanical device.

An electro-optomechanical device capable of microwave-to-optics conversion has recently been demonstrated, with the vision of enabling optical networks of superconducting qubits. Here we present an improved converter design that uses a three-dimensional microwave cavity for coupling between the microwave transmission line and an integrated LC resonator on the converter chip. The new design simplifies the optical assembly and decouples it from the microwave part of the setup.

Laser Cooling of a Micromechanical Membrane to the Quantum Backaction Limit.

The radiation pressure of light can act to damp and cool the vibrational motion of a mechanical resonator, but even if the light field has no thermal component, shot noise still sets a limit on the minimum phonon occupation. In optomechanical sideband cooling in a cavity, the finite off-resonant Stokes scattering defined by the cavity linewidth combined with shot noise fluctuations dictates a quantum backaction limit, analogous to the Doppler limit of atomic laser cooling. In our work, we sideband cool a micromechanical membrane resonator to the quantum backaction limit.

Effect of light assisted collisions on matter wave coherence in superradiant Bose-Einstein condensates.

We investigate experimentally the effects of light assisted collisions on the coherence between momentum states in Bose-Einstein condensates. The onset of superradiant Rayleigh scattering serves as a sensitive monitor for matter-wave coherence. A subtle interplay of binary and collective effects leads to a profound asymmetry between the two sides of the atomic resonance and provides far bigger coherence loss rates for a condensate bathed in blue detuned light than previously estimated.
