Paper shows experimental evidence of a unique atmospheric effect

HOBOKEN , N.J. - Three members of the faculty at Stevens Institute of Technology recently collaborated on a paper focusing on free-space optical communication, which appears in the latest issue of Optics Express, a premiere optics journal currently in circulation.

Dr. Paul Corrigan, a research associate at the MIRTHE Foundation and a Visiting Assistant Professor at Stevens, working along with Stevens Associate Professor Rainer Martini and Professor Edward Whittaker, spent months researching an

Physicist Knut Stamnes sits at his computer, staring at the riotous swirl of glowing green, blue, orange, and yellow on his screen. This striking image could be an abstract painting, with bright hues sitting amidst a sea of black, but it’s not. It is actually a data map of the Santa Barbara Channel, with the solid black background depicting land and the sea flowing with color.

This data quantifies the chlorophyll and dissolved or floating inorganic matter such as silt, clay or sand in these waters. High chlorophyll levels may indicate an overgrowth of the algae that sits at the base of the ocean food chain. Stimulated by phosphorus from fertilizers, the algae proliferate, choking waters

Article looks at new developments in the dynamical behavior of quantum systems

An article co-authored by Dr. Ting Yu, an Associate Professor for the Schaefer School of Engineering & Science at Stevens Institute of Technology, is featured in the most recent edition of Science magazine.

Yu, who works in the department of Physics and Engineering Physics writes about a new development in the dynamical behavior of entanglement of quantum systems.

“The surprising discovery that correlation between two quantum units of information called qubits ca
