Strongly coupled spins of silicon-vacancy centers inside a nanodiamond with sub-megahertz linewidth.

The search for long-lived quantum memories, which can be efficiently interfaced with flying qubits, is longstanding. One possible solution is to use the electron spin of a color center in diamond to mediate interaction between a long-lived nuclear spin and a photon. Realizing this in a nanodiamond furthermore facilitates the integration into photonic devices and enables the realization of hybrid quantum systems with access to quantum memories.

High-dimensional spin-orbital single-photon sources.

Hybrid integration of solid-state quantum emitters (QEs) into nanophotonic structures opens enticing perspectives for exploiting multiple degrees of freedom of single-photon sources for on-chip quantum photonic applications. However, the state-of-the-art single-photon sources are mostly limited to two-level states or scalar vortex beams. Direct generation of high-dimensional structured single photons remains challenging, being still in its infancy.

Correction of Disorders in Psychoneurological Status and Functioning of Progenitor Cells of the Nervous Tissue with NF-κB Inhibitor under Conditions of Alzheimer's Disease Modeling.

We studied the effect of NF-κB blockade on the state of various pools of progenitor cells of the nervous tissue and the psychoneurological status of experimental animals with modeled Alzheimer's disease. Administration of scopolamine hydrobromide to C57BL/6 mice for 4 weeks was accompanied by the development of "persistent" disturbances in the orientation and exploratory behavior and mnestic function. An ameliorating effect of the NF-κB inhibitor on these cognitive disorders typical of senile dementia was revealed.

Exploring single-mode VCSEL wavelength tuning for low-cost 3D optical coherence tomography and OCT angiography.

Low-cost optical coherence tomography has recently emerged as a growing field due to the increased need for general availability of OCT devices outside of the clinics. One of the main obstacles in creating low-cost SS-OCT systems is the price of the laser. In this work, we study the influence of different tuning parameters (e.

Off-Normal Polarized Single-Photon Emission with Anisotropic Holography Metasurfaces.

Solid-state quantum emitters (QEs) with arbitrary direction emission and well-defined polarization are critical for scalable single-photon sources and quantum information processing. However, the design strategy for on-chip generation of off-normal photon emission with high-purity polarization characteristics has so far remained elusive. Here, we introduce the anisotropic holography metasurfaces for efficiently manipulating the emission direction and polarization of QE.
