Nuestro compañero Alejandro González Tudela, científico titular del Instituto de Física Fundamental (IFF-CSIC) y miembro de la Real Sociedad Española de Física, acaba de ser premiado por el jurado de los Premios de Física “Real Sociedad Española de Física - Fundación BBVA 2022” en la categoría "Premio a la Mejor Contribución de Divulgación en las [...]
Nuestro compañero Juan José García-Ripoll acaba de publicar recientemente el libro "Quantum Information and Quantum Optics with Superconducting Circuits" (Cambridge University Press, agosto de 2022). El libro está dirigido principalmente a estudiantes universitarios y jóvenes investigadores. Nuestro compañero explora el uso de las propiedades de la superconductividad en sistemas cuánticos, cómo emulan fotones y átomos [...]
Authors: Abah, O.; De Chiara, G.; Paternostro, M.; Puebla, R. Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW RESEARCH Publication date: 2022/04/22 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevResearch.4.L022017 Abstract: Crossing a quantum critical point in finite time challenges the adiabatic condition due to the closing of the energy gap, which ultimately results in the formation of excitations. Such nonadiabatic excitations are typically deemed detrimental [...]
Authors: Manson, J. R.; Benedek, G.; Miret-Artés, S. Journal: SURFACE SCIENCE REPORTS Publication date: 2022/05/01 DOI: 10.1016/j.surfrep.2022.100552 Abstract: An atomic projectile colliding with a surface at kinetic energies in the thermal or hyperthermal range interacts with and is reflected by the electronic density well in front of the first layer of target atoms, and it [...]
Authors: Yanes-Rodríguez, R.; Cabrera-Ramírez, A.; Prosmiti, R. Journal: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2022/06/01 DOI: 10.1039/d2cp00701k Abstract: The dynamics of the formation of a specific clathrate hydrate as well as its thermodynamic transitions depend on the interactions between the trapped molecules and the host water lattice. The molecular-level understanding of the different underlying processes [...]
Authors: Cabrera-Ramirez, Adriana; Prosmiti, Rita Journal: JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C Publication date: 2022/09/08 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpcc.2c04140 Abstract: We performed first-principles computations to investigate the complex interplay of molecular interaction energies in determining the lattice structure and stability of CO2@sH clathrate hydrates. Density functional theory computations using periodic boundary conditions were employed to characterize energetics and [...]
El pasado 12 de julio de 2022, nuestra compañera Beatriz Gato Rivera impartió la conferencia "Antimateria, Materia Oscura y Energía Oscura" en el Museo de la Evolución Humana, en Burgos, dentro del ciclo de conferencias del CSIC ¿Qué sabemos de?. La Dra. Gato Rivera realizó un breve repaso sobre el descubrimiento y las propiedades de [...]
Authors: Le Jeannic, Hanna; Tiranov, Alexey; Carolan, Jacques; Ramos, Tomas; Wang, Ying; Appel, Martin Hayhurst; Scholz, Sven; Wieck, Andreas D.; Ludwig, Arne; Rotenberg, Nir; Midolo, Leonardo; Garcia-Ripoll, Juan Jose; Sorensen, Anders S.; Lodahl, Peter Journal: NATURE PHYSICS Publication date: 2022/09/01 DOI: 10.1038/s41567-022-01720-x Abstract: Single photons role in the development of quantum science and technology. They [...]
Authors: Goicoechea, Javier R.; Roncero, Octavio Journal: ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS Publication date: 2022/08/31 DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202243884 Abstract: The formation of hydrides by gas-phase reactions between H-2 and a heavy element atom is a very selective process. Reactions with ground-state neutral carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur atoms are very endoergic and have high energy barriers because the [...]
