Tissue storage affects lipidome profiling in comparison to in vivo microsampling approach
(Springer, 2018-05-03)Low-invasive in vivo solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was used to investigate the lipid profiles of muscle tissue of living fish. Briefly, mixed mode SPME fibers were inserted into the muscle for 20 min extraction, and ... -
Tolerable Experimental Imperfections for a Quadrupole Blade Ion Trap and Practical Qudit Gates with Trapped Ions
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-26)Trapped ions are one of the leading technologies in quantum information technology due to their long coherence time and low noise presence. For trapping ions, there are a plethora of ion trap architectures. Among them ... -
Tools for the Security Analysis of Quantum Key Distribution in Infinite Dimensions
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-12)We develop a method to connect the infinite-dimensional description of optical continuous-variable quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols to a finite-dimensional formulation. The secure key rates of the optical QKD ... -
