Background: Simultaneous exposure to noise and organic solvents such as styrene is an indispensable part of today’s industries. Numerous studies were done related to ototoxic effects of co-exposure to noise and styrene while some evidences showed the adverse effects of such exposure on other organs. In this study, we aimed to assess the subacute effects of combined exposure to noise and s...

We present an extension of the atomic frequency comb protocol that utilizes Stark effect to perform noise-free, on-demand, control. An experimental realization this was implemented in Pr3+:Y2SiO5 solid-state system, and a recall efficiency 38% for 0.8 ?s storage time achieved. Experiments were performed with both bright pulses as well weak-coherent states, latter achieving signal-to-noise ratio...

Quantum sensing, using quantum properties of sensors, can enhance resolution, precision, and sensitivity imaging, spectroscopy, detection. An intriguing question is: Can the nature (quantumness) sensors targets be exploited to enable schemes that are not possible for classical probes or targets? Here we show measurement correlations a target indeed allows sensing have no counterparts. As concre...
