Coherence and synchronization in complex quantum networks
Nov. 28, 2018
The transport and storage of quantum
information both within and across complex quantum networks is crucially affected
by the presence of environment-induced noise. Interaction with the environment
deteriorates the quantum properties initially present and this is important
both for the ...

Quantum Fluctuation Theorems for arbitrary environments
Sept. 10, 2018
Thermodynamics, the branch of physics concerned
with heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work, can be
extended far beyond the large macroscopic systems of our daily lives. However, stochastic fluctuations in thermodynamic
quantities—like work, heat, and ...
How do ants move?
June 28, 2018
The behavior of social animals, such as
insects, is a paradigmatic example of a collective phenomenon that emerges from
individual behavior. A research article published by researchers at the
Institute for Interdisciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC, UIB-CSIC)
in collaboration ...

It's not quantum mechanics that's weird - it's us
Nov. 20, 2017
Quantum theory is famously mind-boggling. But do its paradoxes mean we haven’t yet understood it?Quantum mechanics is so notoriously difficult that Nobel-winning physicist Richard Feynman cheerfully admitted that even he didn’t understand it.The reason is not ...
