Characterizing spontaneous quantum synchronization
July 29, 2019
The spontaneous synchronization between different interacting units is a
paradigmatic example of a collective phenomenon. In the last decade there has
been a growing interest among the scientific community to investigate this
phenomenon in the context of quantum systems, in ...

Publicizing the world of complex systems and
interdisciplinary science through outreach activities has been one of the main
objectives of IFISC (UIB-CSIC) from its inception to the present day. With this
goal in mind, the series of talks "Navegando por ...
Characterizing graphene quantum contacts
Feb. 8, 2019
Graphene has
attracted an ongoing interest in the scientific community since its outstanding
properties were unveiled: from bulletproofing to nanotechnology, studying how
graphene behaves in certain situations is opening the way to new applications
of this material. Similarly, quantum contacts ...

Neuro-inspired pattern recognition
Jan. 22, 2019
Pattern recognition is a cognitive task that
humans are especially good at; identifying a visual or auditory stimulus (and
being able to act accordingly) is an essential quality for the survival of
living beings. With this in mind, it is ...
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 ...

Nov. 5, 2018
A
team of researchers from IFISC (CSIC-UIB) have simulated what would have been
the consequences of the cut in the power lines affected by the tornado that hit
Menorca last October 28th if the submarine cable connecting the electrical network ...
