Soliton gas: Theory, numerics, and experiments
The concept of soliton gas was introduced in 1971 by Zakharov as an infinite collection of weakly interacting solitons in the framework of Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. In this theoretical construction of a diluted (rarefied) soliton gas, solitons with ...
Amer Physical Soc2024Dynamical nuclear polarization for dissipation-induced entanglement in NV centers
Mayeul Sylvain Chipaux, Shashwat Kumar, Géraldine Haack, Shishir Khandelwal
We propose a practical implementation of a two-qubit entanglement engine which denotes a scheme to generate quantum correlations through purely dissipative processes. On a diamond platform, the electron spin transitions of two nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers ...
College Pk2023Many-body physics with strongly interacting fermions coupled to light
This thesis reports on the realization of the first experiments conducted with superfluid, strongly interacting Fermi gases of 6Li coupled to the light field of an optical cavity. In the scope of existing ultracold atomic platforms, this is the first time ...
EPFL2023Spray-Assisted Formation of Micrometer-Sized Emulsions
Esther Amstad, Mathias Steinacher
Emulsion drops with defined sizes are frequently used to conduct chemical reactions on picoliter scales or as templates to form microparticles. Despite tremendous progress that has been achieved in the production of emulsions, the high throughput formation ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2022Thermalization and hydrodynamics of two-dimensional quantum field theories
We consider 2d QFTs as relevant deformations of CFTs in the thermodynamic limit. Using causality and KPZ universality, we place a lower bound on the timescale characterizing the onset of hydrodynamics. The bound is determined parametrically in terms of the ...
2022All-Solid-State Ion-Selective Electrodes: A Tutorial for Correct Practice
Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Mandresy Ivan Ny Hanitra, Irene Taurino, Francesca Criscuolo
The research on ion-measuring devices has seen a rapid expansion in the last years as a consequence of the growing interest in wearable sensors for biofluids analysis and in portable devices for remote or in-line water and food quality monitoring. As a res ...
2021Invariance principles in the theory and computation of transport coefficients
In this work, we elaborate on two recently discovered invariance principles, according to which transport coefficients are, to a large extent, independent of the microscopic definition of the densities and currents of the conserved quantities being transpo ...
2021A genome-scale metabolic model of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that integrates expression constraints and reaction thermodynamics
Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Maria Masid Barcon, Mohammadomid Oftadeh, Pierre Guy Rémy Salvy
Eukaryotic organisms play an important role in industrial biotechnology, from the production of fuels and commodity chemicals to therapeutic proteins. To optimize these industrial systems, a mathematical approach can be used to integrate the description of ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2021Fabrication of micrometer-sized drops as templates for particles
Drops are omnipresent in our daily life for example in the form of rain drops or as oil drops in a salad dressing. On a technological basis, drops can be used to conduct chemical or biological reactions. These drops often serve as templates to produce mate ...
EPFL2021Flexible application of biogas upgrading membranes for hydrogen recycle in power-to-methane processes
Oliver Kröcher, Andreas Gantenbein
Direct methanation of biogas converts the CO2 in raw-biogas to methane, enabling higher methane yield and an elelctricity storage option via Power-to-Gas. As the thermodynamic equilibrium limits the methane yield, unreacted hydrogen has to be removed and r ...
