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.

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 ...
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 ...
11F: International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2023
Feb. 3, 2023
In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly
decided to proclaim 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in
Science with the aim of achieving full and equal access to science for girls
and women.

Modeling the spread of Pierce's disease of grapevines
Jan. 30, 2023
Wine production is being
decimated in some places by Pierce's disease, caused by the
bacterium Xylella fastidiosa.
Researchers propose a model
that takes into account the effect of ambient temperature to see how
climate change will affect its spread ...

Boosting the efficiency of quantum heat engines
May 6, 2022
A team of researchers
from IFISC (UIB-CSIC) has demonstrated that a quantum chiral conductor driven
by an alternating current voltage can operate with efficiencies much higher
than the hitherto insurmountable Carnot limit. In the paper, published in
Nature Communications, the ...

The shape of memory in temporal networks
Jan. 25, 2022
An international team of researchers, with
participation of IFISC (UIB-CSIC), have proposed a mathematical framework to
estimate the memory structure of temporal networks. These findings are
published in the latest issue Nature Communications.Temporal Networks (those whose
structure changes over ...
