Stern-Gerlach interferometer (SGI) is a kind of matter-wave interferometer driven by magnetic field and has been proposed for various gravity experiments. Stochastic noises can lead to decoherence problems of SGI via var...

Effective-medium approaches, such as the coherent potential approximation, are commonly used to describe the rigidity transition of disordered elastic networks. While successful in capturing the universal critical behavi...

We explore how the quantum geometric properties of the Bloch wave function, characterized by the Hilbert-Schmidt quantum distance, impact magnetic phases in solid-state systems. To this end, we investigate the spin susce...

Classical spin liquids have been a very active subject of research in the last few years. A very rich variety of cases have been shown to exist, including short-range and algebraic spin liquids displaying dipolar correla...

Projectile-induced plasmon excitation in an electron gas has been studied by several authors who proposed two possible mechanisms for these plasmons to decay. In a previous work we considered one of these mechanisms in w...

We investigate theoretically how the spin-orbit Dresselhaus and Rashba effects influence the electronic structure of quasi-one-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots, similar to those that can be formed inside semiconduc...

We show how a theory for electrocatalysis developed in our group can be combined with density-functional theory in order to obtain free-energy surfaces for electrochemical reactions. The combined theory is applied to the...

Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling theory have been carried out to study the critical behavior and universality for the isotropic-nematic (IN) phase transition in a system of straight rigid pentamers adsorbe...

We present an experimental investigation of the pressure dynamics during the flow of self-propelledparticles through narrow passages. When the ensemble is flowing, pressure fluctuates around aconstant value that does not...

We develop a procedure to modify the correlations of a speckle potential. This procedure, that is suitable for spatial light modulator devices, allows one to increase the localization efficiency of the speckle in a narro...

We present models for single-particle dispersion in vertical and horizontal directions of stably stratified flows. The model in the vertical direction is based on the observed Lagrangian spectrum of the vertical velocity...

The competition between on-site Coulomb repulsion and Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) is studied on two-leg ladders by numerical techniques. By studying persistent currents in closed rings by exact diagonalization, it ...

We characterize a class of superclassical non-Markovian open quantum system dynamics that are defined by their lack of measurement invasiveness when the corresponding observable commutates with the pre-measurement state....

Cancer cells have an altered metabolism that increases acid production driving to an extracellular pH significantly lower than normal. This leads to normal cell death, and extracellular matrix degradation allowing the fo...

For protein structure to prevail in water, its backbone hydrogen bonds must be shielded from water attack, requiring a cluster of “wrapping” nonpolar groups. Thus, underwrapped regions are adhesive, as exogenous remo...

We develop an age-structured hydrodynamic (HD) theory that describes the collective behavior of N≫1 anomalously diffusing particles under stochastic renewal resetting. The theory treats the age of a particle—the time...

We study the Schrödinger equation with 1/r^{3} and attractive 1/r^{2} potentials. Using the quantum defect theory, we obtain analytical solutions for both repulsive and attractive 1/r^{3} interactions. The obtained dis...

In this work we address the classical statistical mechanical problem of calculating the residual entropy of ice models. The numerical work found in the literature is usually based on extrapolating to infinite-size result...

In this article we compute the Casimir force between two finite-width mirrors at finite temperature, working in a simplified model in 1+1 dimensions. The mirrors, considered as dissipative media, are modeled by a continu...

Cell extrusion is an essential mechanism for controlling cell density in epithelial tissues. Another essential element of epithelia is curvature, which is required to achieve complex shapes, like in the lung or intestine...

Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire lasers are known to display three coexistent modes of operation: continuous wave, transform limited pulses (P1), and positive chirped pulses (P2). Extreme events (sometimes also called o...

Non-Gaussian quantum states of light are essential resources for quantum information processing and precision metrology. Among them, generalized coherent states (GCSs), which naturally arise from the evolution of a coher...

We present a characterization of the set of nonsignaling correlations in terms of a two-dimensional representation that involves the maximal value of a Bell functional and the mutual information between the parties. In p...
