Abstract: A microscope system includes a sample tray to hold a plurality of samples to be imaged in parallel. An illumination source generates illumination light and a plurality of spatial light modulators are each positioned to spatially modulate the illumination light onto a corresponding one of the samples. Relay optics are positioned in an optical path between the sample tray and the plurality of spatial light modulators to image the samples onto the plurality of spatial light modulators. A plurality of first cameras is positioned to capture images in parallel of the samples in the sample tray by imaging the plurality of spatial light modulators.

Abstract: A quantum device includes a resonator and a tuning structure. The tuning structure is made a material such as a chalcogenide and is positioned to interact with the electromagnetic radiation in the resonator so that a resonant mode of the first resonator depends on a characteristic of the tuning structure. The resonator is optically coupled so that a transition between quantum states associated with a defect produces electromagnetic radiation in the resonator. The characteristic of the tuning structure is adjustable after fabrication of the resonator and the tuning structure.

Abstract: A process for entangling quantum states of respective quantum systems measures electromagnetic radiation emitted from a first system and from a second system. The two systems are exposed to excitation radiation having a probability per time of producing a photon, and an interference element is coupled to receive photons from the first and second systems. The process further includes measuring a time during which the first and second systems were exposed to the excitation radiation before a photon is detected on either output channel of the interference element and applying an electromagnetic pulse that causes a relative phase shift of a portion of a quantum state of the first and second systems. Parameters of the electromagnetic pulse are selected based on measurements of the electromagnetic radiation from the first and second systems and the time measured.
