Quantum Co-Magnetometer Using Diamond Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers and Rubidium Cells
Recent advances in chip scale magnetic quantum sensing have produced platforms that pair unprecedented sensitivity with extreme miniaturization. Here, we demonstrate a hybrid quantum sensor by combining Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond with a rubidium (Rb) vapor cell, designed for precise magnetic field measurements and quantum exploration. The hybrid comagnetometer leverages the high resolution vector magnetic sensing of NV centers along with the high scalar field sensitivity of the Rb…

The Fair Periodic Assignment Problem
We study the periodic assignment problem, in which a set of periodically repeating tasks must be assigned to workers within a repeating schedule. The classical efficiency objective is to minimize the number of workers required to operate the schedule. We propose a O(n log n) algorithm to solve this problem. Next, we formalize a notion of fairness among workers, and impose that each worker performs the same work over time. We analyze the resulting trade-off between efficiency and fairness, showi…

SKYSURF IX -- The Cosmic Optical and Infrared Background from Integrated Galaxy Light Measurements
As part of the SKYSURF Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Legacy Archival program we present galaxy number counts which yield measurements of the extragalactic background light (EBL) at 15 different wavelengths. We have processed 82,752 HST images across 23 filters into 16,686 mosaics using the same software and processing pipeline throughout. Using 17/23 filters that give reliable galaxy counts, we constrain the integrated galaxy light (IGL) with a 1.5-9\% error between 0.3 and 1.6 $μ$m in combinat…
