Authors: Predojevic, B.; Sevic, D.; Marinkovic, B. P.; McEachran, R. P.; Blanco, F.; Garcia, G.; Brunger, M. J. Contribution: Article Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW A Publication date: 2020/03/23 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.101.032704 Abstract: We report on experimental elastic differential and integral cross sections for electron scattering from bismuth. The energy range of those measurements is 10-100 eV, while the [...]

Dissipative quantum backflow

2021-02-12T10:08:12+01:00Tags: , |

Authors: Mousavi, S., V; Miret-Artes, S. Contribution: Article Journal: EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL PLUS Publication date: 2020/03/23 DOI: 10.1140/epjp/s13360-020-00336-5 Abstract: Dissipative backflow is studied in the context of open quantum systems. This theoretical analysis is carried out within two frameworks, the effective time-dependent Hamiltonian due to Caldirola-Kanai (CK) and the Caldeira-Leggett (CL) one where a master equation [...]

Authors: Ruiz-Lapuente, Pilar; Korobkin, Oleg Contribution: Article Journal: ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL Publication date: 2020/03/20 DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ab744e Abstract: The recent detection of the gravitational-wave event GW170817, produced by the coalescence of two neutron stars, and of its optical-infrared counterpart, powered by the radioactive decay of r-process elements, has opened a new window onto gamma-ray astronomy: the direct detection [...]

Mediator-assisted cooling in quantum annealing

2021-02-12T10:08:12+01:00Tags: , , |

Authors: Pino, M.; Garcia-Ripoll, Juan J. Contribution: Article Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW A Publication date: 2020/03/18 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.101.032324 Abstract: We show a significant reduction of errors for an architecture of quantum annealers where bosonic modes mediate the interaction between qubits. These systems have a large redundancy in the subspace of solutions, supported by arbitrarily large bosonic occupations. [...]

Nuevo esquema de lectura para qubits superconductores

Una colaboración hispano-francesa, en la que participan los investigadores Tomás Ramos y Juan José García-Ripoll del Instituto de Física Fundamental del CSIC, ha propuesto y demostrado de manera experimental un nuevo esquema de lectura para qubits superconductores, que proporciona medidas fiables mediante un acoplamiento fuerte al detector, y a la vez minimiza otras fuentes de [...]

Theoretical priors in scalar-tensor cosmologies: Thawing quintessence

2021-02-12T10:08:12+01:00Tags: , |

Authors: Garcia-Garcia, Carlos; Bellini, Emilio; Ferreira, Pedro G.; Traykova, Dina; Zumalacarregui, Miguel Contribution: Article Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW D Publication date: 2020/03/05 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.101.063508 Abstract: The late time acceleration of the Universe can be characterized in terms of an extra, time-dependent, component of the Universe-dark energy. The simplest proposal for dark energy is a scalar-tensor theory-quintessence-which consists [...]

R.; Ruckhofer, Adrian; Ernst, Wolfgang E.; Tamtoegl, Anton Contribution: Article Journal: JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS Publication date: 2020/03/05 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpclett.9b03829 Abstract: He atom scattering has been demonstrated to be a sensitive probe of the electron-phonon interaction parameter lambda at metal and metal-overlayer surfaces. Here it is shown that [...]

Nuevo libro: “Verdades y mentiras de la física cuántica”, por nuestro compañero Carlos Sabín

2020-03-11T12:18:30+01:00Tags: , , , , |

El nuevo libro de la colección ‘¿Qué sabemos de?’ (CSIC-Catarata) trae “malas noticias” para quienes creen que la física cuántica es “una manera de escapar a las leyes de la física y entrar en un mundo nuevo donde todo está permitido, todo es impredecible y la realidad puede modificarse a voluntad”. Su autor, nuestro compañero [...]
