Abstract： A full-field transmission hard X-ray microscope (TXM) with 30nm resolution was designed and its prototype was constructed. The TXM relies on a compact, high stiffness, low heat dissipation and low vibration design philosophy and utilizes Fresnel Zone plate (FZP) as imaging optics. The design of the TXM was introduced in detail, including the optical layout, the parameters of the FZP, the mechanical design of the TXM instrument. Preliminary imaging result with 52nm spatial resolution was achieved.

Abstract： The atomic system has reflection symmetry, parity, and atomic stimulated radiation amplified by a parallel plane resonant cavity, can generate macroscopic photons entangled state[4].
It is a quantum entangled state of 2N photons with a certain parity, a total momentum of zero, a certain energy, and a certain angular momentum. Observing it in time and space has uncertainty and randomness. According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, its energy (frequency) and momentum are completely determined. The measurement accuracy can reach the Heisenberg quantum limit and has a quantum 2N enhancement effect (2N is the number of entangled photons).
The probability distribution P2N （t） of ∣Ф2NI > and its fourier transform P2N （w-w0 ）were measured through experiments, and the experimental results were in line with theoretical expectations. And the lifetime of macroscopic photons entangled state was observed, which also has a 2N enhancement factor. The experimental results are consistent with theoretical expectations.

Abstract： Co-phase and co-focus detection is one of the key technologies for large-aperture segmented mirror telescopes. In this paper, a new edge sensor based on fringes of equal thickness is developed, which can detect each segment's relative piston, tilt, and tip errors from the interferograms. Based on the co-focus demand for many ground-based seeing limited segmented mirror telescopes, an edge sensor prototype based on such a principle is built and applied in the indoor segmented mirror experiment system in the lab. According to the co-focus requirement of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope, many simulations and experiments are carried out for co-focus error detection of the segmented mirror system. Experiment results show that the co-focus accuracy is better than 0."02 rms, which can meet the co-focus requirements of most large or extremely large segmented mirror astronomical telescopes.

Abstract： Multi-photon entanglement is the core technology of quantum information technology such as quantum computation and quantum communication. Two-photon entanglement generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion is a commonly used source of entanglement. Entangled photons emit randomly, and the probability of entanglement pairs is very small. Although great achievements have been made, it is still far from the application requirements of quantum computing and other fields. New approaches need to be explored from two aspects of basic theory and experimental research.
In this paper, the fundamental process of stimulated radiation and the mechanism of stimulated radiation are studied. It is found that the quantum properties of the initial two-photon state produced by this process are closely related to the symmetry of the stimulated substances. If the electronic states of stimulated radiation substances have parity, their wave functions also have parity, such as atoms, molecules with symmetric centers, crystals with reflection symmetry, etc. The electronic states of these substances have parity and reflection symmetry. The stimulated radiation process of a parity substances obeys parity conservation. The two-photon state produced by the stimulated radiation has parity and is superposition entangled state. Such two entangled photons pass through the action of parallel plane resonator, and then through stimulated radiation, the process is repeated again and again, and finally produces multi-photon entanglement.
The main results and conclusions of this paper are as follows: multi-photon entangled state is generated by stimulated radiation of parity substances. If the electronic state of the laser substance has parity, the multi-photon state produced by the stimulated radiation in the laser resonator (parallel plane cavity) is entangled state and can be output from a symmetrical two-way single longitudinal mode laser.
The expression of multiphoton entanglement is given theoretically. A symmetrical bi-directional output single longitudinal mode He-Ne laser has been developed. The experimental verification of multi-photon entangled state has been carried out. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical expectations.

Abstract： Owing to the constraints on the fabrication of γ-ray coding plates with many pixels, few studies have been carried out on γ-ray computational ghost imaging. Thus, the development of coding plates with fewer pixels is essential to achieve γ-ray computational ghost imaging. Based on the regional similarity between Hadamard subcoding plates, this study presents an optimization method to reduce the number of pixels of Hadamard coding plates. First, a moving distance matrix was obtained to describe the regional similarity quantitatively. Second, based on the matrix, we used two ant colony optimization arrangement algorithms to maximize the reuse of pixels in the regional similarity area and obtain new compressed coding plates. With full sampling, these two algorithms improved the pixel utilization of the coding plate, and the compression ratio values were 54.2% and 58.9%, respectively. In addition, three undersampled sequences (the Harr, Russian dolls, and cake-cutting sequences) with different sampling rates were tested and discussed. With different sampling rates, our method reduced the number of pixels of all three sequences, especially for the Russian dolls and cake-cutting sequences. Therefore, our method can reduce the number of pixels, manufacturing cost, and difficulty of the coding plate, which is beneficial for the implementation and application of γ-ray computational ghost imaging.
