Article Abstract
A scheme for the measurement of a microwave (MW) electric field is proposed via multi-photon coherence in Rydberg atoms. It is based on the three-photon electromagnetically induced absorption (TPEIA) spectrum. In this process, the multi-photon produces a narrow absorption peak, which has a larger magnitude than the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) peak under the same conditions. The TPEIA peak is sensitive to MW fields, and can be used to measure MW electric field strength. We found that the magnitude of TPEIA peaks shows a linear relationship with the MW field strength. The simulation results show that the minimum detectable strength of the MW fields is about 1/10 of that based on an common EIT effect, and the probe sensitivity could be improved by about four times. Furthermore, the MW sensing based on three-photon coherence seems to be robust against the changes in the control field and shows a broad tunability, and the scheme may be useful for designing novel MW sensing devices.

The possibility of observing correlation-driven charge migration has been a driving force behind theoretical and experimental developments in the field of attosecond molecular science since its inception. Despite significant accomplishments, the unambiguous experimental observation of this quantum beating remains elusive. In this work, we present a method to selectively trigger such dynamics in molecules predicted to exhibit long-lived electron coherence.

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) enables the sharing of cryptographic keys secured by quantum mechanics. The BB84 protocol assumes single-photon sources, but practical systems rely on weak coherent pulses vulnerable to Photon-Number-Splitting (PNS) attacks. The Gottesman-Lo-Lütkenhaus-Preskill (GLLP) framework addresses these imperfections, deriving secure key rate bounds under limited PNS scenarios.

Its off-resonant yet fully coherent nature has attracted significant interest in quantum photonics as a valuable tool for preparing single-photon sources in their excited state on demand while simultaneously ensuring straightforward spectral filtering of the laser. However, the physical understanding of this mechanism in terms of energy exchange between the electromagnetic field and the emitter is still lacking.

Current dorsal skin flap window chambers with flat glass windows are compatible with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multiphoton microscopy (MPM) imaging. However, light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) performs best with a cylindrical or spherical sample located between its two 90° objectives and when all sample materials have the same index of refraction (). A modified window chamber with a domed viewing window made from fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), with n similar to water and tissue, was designed.

Article Synopsis
- Drug delivery through hair follicles shows promise for both local and systemic treatments, with recent studies highlighting its effectiveness in targeting skin cells and delivering drugs to the bloodstream.
- Despite its potential, clinical use of follicle-targeting drug carriers is limited due to a lack of comprehensive characterization compared to traditional topical products like ointments and creams.
- The paper reviews advanced optical and spectroscopic techniques for monitoring drug delivery via hair follicles, focusing on non-invasive methods, and discusses their benefits, drawbacks, and future implications in this research area.
