New generation of two-dimensional spintronic systems realized by coupling of Rashba and Dirac fermions
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-08-04)
Intriguing phenomena and novel physics predicted for two-dimensional (2D) systems formed by electrons in Dirac or Rashba states motivate an active search for new materials or combinations of the already revealed ones. Being ...
A novel brain partition highlights the modular skeleton shared by structure and function
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-06-03)
Elucidating the intricate relationship between brain structure and function, both in healthy and pathological conditions, is a key challenge for modern neuroscience. Recent progress in neuroimaging has helped advance our ...
Insight on how fishing bats discern prey and adjust their mechanic and sensorial features during the attack sequence
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-07-21)
Several insectivorous bats have included fish in their diet, yet little is known about the processes underlying this trophic shift. We performed three field experiments with wild fishing bats to address how they manage to ...
Energetics and Structural Characterization of the large-scale Functional Motion of Adenylate Kinase
(Nature Publishing, 2015-02-12)
Adenylate Kinase (AK) is a signal transducing protein that regulates cellular energy homeostasis balancing between different conformations. An alteration of its activity can lead to severe pathologies such as heart failure, ...
The Forbidden Quantum Adder
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-07-08)
Quantum information provides fundamentally different computational resources than classical information. We prove that there is no unitary protocol able to add unknown quantum states belonging to different Hilbert spaces. ...
Scalable quantum memory in the ultrastrong coupling regime
(Nature Publishing, 2015-03-02)
Circuit quantum electrodynamics, consisting of superconducting artificial atoms coupled to on-chip resonators, represents a prime candidate to implement the scalable quantum computing architecture because of the presence ...
Quantum Emulation of Gravitational Waves
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-07-14)
Gravitational waves, as predicted by Einstein's general relativity theory, appear as ripples in the fabric of spacetime traveling at the speed of light. We prove that the propagation of small amplitude gravitational waves ...
Quantum Simulation of Dissipative Processes without Reservoir Engineering
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-05-29)
We present a quantum algorithm to simulate general finite dimensional Lindblad master equations without the requirement of engineering the system-environment interactions. The proposed method is able to simulate both ...
Quantum Simulator for Transport Phenomena in Fluid Flows
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-08-17)
Transport phenomena still stand as one of the most challenging problems in computational physics. By exploiting the analogies between Dirac and lattice Boltzmann equations, we develop a quantum simulator based on ...
Parity-dependent State Engineering and Tomography in the ultrastrong coupling regime
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-07-08)
Reaching the strong coupling regime of light-matter interaction has led to an impressive development in fundamental quantum physics and applications to quantum information processing. Latests advances in different quantum ...
