Unpublished opening lecture for the course on the theory of relativity in Argentina, 1925

Audio, Transactions of the IRE Professional Group on (2009)

Honorable Rector, Honorable Professors, and Students of this University: In these times of political and economic struggle and nationalistic fragmentation, it is a particular joy for me to see people assembling here to give their attention exclusively to the highest values that are common to us all. I am glad to be in this blessed land before a small circle of people who are interested in topics of science to speak on those issues that, in essence, are the subject of my own meditations..

  1. Fundamental quantum limit to waveform estimation.

    Audio, Transactions of the IRE Professio... 106(9):090401 (2011) PMID 21405606

    We derive a quantum Cramér-Rao bound (QCRB) on the error of estimating a time-changing signal. The QCRB provides a fundamental limit to the performance of general quantum sensors, such as gravitational-wave detectors, force sensors, and atomic magnetometers. We apply the QCRB to the problem of forc...
  2. Nonlinear interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates

    Audio, Transactions of the IRE Professional Group on (2010)

    We analyze a proposed experiment [S. Boixo et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 040403 (2008)] for achieving sensitivity scaling better than $1/N$ in a Nonlinear Ramsey interferometer that uses a two-mode Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of $N$ atoms. We present numerical simulations that confirm the Analyti...
  3. Generalized limits for single-parameter quantum estimation.

    Phys Rev Lett 98(9):090401 (2007) PMID 17359140

    We develop generalized bounds for quantum single-parameter estimation problems for which the coupling to the parameter is described by intrinsic multisystem interactions. For a Hamiltonian with k-system parameter-sensitive terms, the quantum limit scales as 1/Nk, where N is the number of systems. Th...
