   Designs microwave pulses from the reflection zeros of a coupled qubit circuit to load a chosen mode while reducing energy reflected into a shared control line. Circuit simulations show substantially less excitation of neighboring qubits than equal-energy Gaussian pulses.

2. A. Krasnok, “What Quantum Computer to Buy?,”AVS Quantum Science 8(3), 034101 (2026).doi:10.1116/5.0337237

   Provides a procurement framework that matches quantum hardware and access models to an institution’s teaching and research needs. It connects platform choice to staffing, facilities, operating costs, and upgrade plans.

3. A. Krasnok and D. Seletskiy, “Complex-Frequency Chirped Pulses for Trajectory-Resolved Scattering,”ACS Photonics (2026), published online August 4, 2026.doi:10.1021/acsphotonics.6c00602

   Introduces shaped chirped pulses that sample a device’s scattering response along a measured path in the complex-frequency plane. These measurements can test competing resonance models and reveal the net winding of poles and zeros inside a closed path.

4. M. M. Hasan, I. Torres, and A. Krasnok, “Quantum Magnetometers for Infrastructure Inspection and Monitoring,”Measurement 290, 122735 (2026).doi:10.1016/j.measurement.2026.122735

   Assesses atomic and diamond quantum magnetometers for detecting corrosion, stress, and electrical faults in infrastructure. The review connects sensor performance to stand-off distance, calibration, noise rejection, and the requirements of field inspection.

5. A. Krasnok, “Constant-Amplitude 2π Phase Modulation from Topological Pole-Zero Winding,”Physical Review Letters 137(5), 053801 (2026).doi:10.1103/xt46-rfjs

   Derives a pole–zero design rule for a full 2π phase rotation at a fixed scattering amplitude. It provides two routes to amplitude-stable phase control: shaped complex-frequency excitation and coordinated tuning of resonator parameters.

6. A. Krasnok, “Metamaterials in Superconducting and Cryogenic Quantum Technologies,”Applied Physics Reviews 13, 021311 (2026), Special Collection: Materials for Superconducting Quantum Devices.doi:10.1063/5.0282013

   Reviews how engineered electromagnetic environments can reduce unwanted qubit decay and support controlled coupling in superconducting processors. It connects metamaterial design with cryogenic materials, coherence, and scalable quantum-circuit architectures.

7. S. Kim, A. Krasnok, and A. Alù, “Complex-frequency excitations in photonics and wave physics,”Science 387(6741), eado4128 (2025).doi:10.1126/science.ado4128

   Brings together the theory and experiments of complex-frequency excitation across wave physics. It explains how temporal pulse shaping can emulate gain or loss and control scattering, energy capture, and wave propagation without changing a material’s composition.

8. G. Hu, Q. Ou, G. Si, Y. Wu, J. Wu, Z. Dai, A. Krasnok, Y. Mazor, Q. Zhang, Q. Bao, C.-W. Qiu, and A. Alù, “Topological polaritons and photonic magic angles in twisted α-MoO3 bilayers,”Nature 582(7811), 209–213 (2020).doi:10.1038/s41586-020-2359-9

   Experimentally demonstrates twist-controlled transitions in the dispersion of polaritons in α-MoO₃ bilayers. At photonic magic angles, light propagates with strongly reduced diffraction, extending twistronics to nanoscale optics.
