Scaling Automatic Question Generation to Large Documents: A Concept-Driven Approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Assessing and enhancing human learning through question-answering is vital, especially when dealing with large documents, yet automating this process remains challenging. While large language models (LLMs) excel at ... -
Ab initio modeling of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Single-photon detectors are widely used in modern communication, sensing, and computing technology. Among these detectors, superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) possess the highest detection efficiencies, ... -
Trapping and Laser Cooling an Ensemble of Ytterbium-171 Atoms for use in an Atomic Clock
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Optical lattice clocks require careful preparation of atomic ensembles in order to ensure homogeneous interactions with the clock laser. We demonstrate loading and laser cooling of an ensemble of ytterbium-171 atoms in a ...
