IFISC (UIB-CSIC) researchers present a new quantum method of pattern classification
June 1, 2023
Researchers at IFISC (UIB-CSIC) have proposed a novel method for pattern classification using a single nonlinear quantum oscillator instead of a lattice of spins (bits). The study, published in the prestigious journal Physical Review Letters, focuses on the implementation of …
New tool to predict the optimal time of intervention to control the nymphs of Philaenus spumarius, insect vector of Xylella fastidiosa in Europe
May 18, 2023
Researchers from two CSIC institutes developed a predictive tool that can help limit the populations of the main insect vector of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, which causes diseases that seriously affect several key crops in our agriculture, such as olive …

May 9, 2023
The "Women in Quantum" workshop, held from May 1 to 4 in Illetes (Mallorca) has joined women researchers coming from all Europe and Japan and working in quantum physics topics ranging from quantum information, to foundations, and atomic, molecular, and …
Twitter lexical analysis reveals the existence of distinct cultural regions in the U.S.
April 20, 2023
An international team of researchers, led by scientists from IFISC (UIB-CSIC), has mapped the different cultural regions in the United States of America through a lexical analysis of the content that citizens themselves post on their social networks. The results …
Design of a method to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in airports
March 21, 2023
CSIC researchers lead the development of a mathematical model that identifies the areas with the highest risk of contagion in means of transport. Implementing disinfection measures in crowded areas of airports, such as bars or restaurants, could reduce the risk …
IFISC researchers propose a new protocol for data processing with Quantum Reservoir Computing
March 17, 2023
Researchers at IFISC (UIB-CSIC) propose a new protocol for processing sequential data using quantum machine learning.The study proposes a way to efficiently include quantum measurement while preserving the quantum advantage that characterises these systems. Researchers at the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary …
Simulation of collective effects between the qubits of a quantum computer
March 10, 2023
An international team, involving researchers from IFISC (UIB-CSIC) in collaboration with the University of Helsinki, Aalto University and the startup Algorithmiq (Finland), has successfully simulated the collective and dissipative dynamics of two qubits in a real quantum computer. These results …
Analysing how the introduction of renewables affects the electricity grid on islands
Feb. 24, 2023
A study carried out by IFISC researchers proposes a model that emulates the behaviour of the electricity grid with high renewable production.The researchers used the increase in wind power generation on Gran Canaria as a case study. A new study …
Formation of biological patterns by pulsed signals
Feb. 6, 2023
Alan Turing first described how regular patterns found in living things, such as the stripes of zebras, appear.A collaborative study between IFISC and Princeton University proposes an alternative mechanism to explain this pattern formation. Understanding how regular shapes (patterns) are …
