Critical Schrodinger Cat Qubit

Vincenzo Savona, Fabrizio Minganti, Luca Gravina

Encoding quantum information onto bosonic systems is a promising route to quantum error correc-tion. In a cat code, this encoding relies on the confinement of the dynamics of the system onto the two-dimensional manifold spanned by Schrodinger cats of oppos ...

Kidney-Specific CAP1/Prss8-Deficient Mice Maintain ENaC-Mediated Sodium Balance through an Aldosterone Independent Pathway

Simona Frateschi

The serine protease prostasin (CAP1/Prss8, channel-activating protease-1) is a confirmed in vitro and in vivo activator of the epithelial sodium channel ENaC. To test whether proteolytic activity or CAP1/Prss8 abundance itself are required for ENaC activat ...

Orientation, rotation and solvation of ions in helium nanodroplets

Verónica Oliver Álvarez de Lara

Helium nanodroplets are liquid, finite size, nanoscale helium clusters that have been employed since the 1990s as a matrix for high-resolution spectroscopy of molecules. Spectroscopic studies of ionic species inside helium droplets were not however realise ...

Orientational ordering of water in extended hydration shells of cations is ion-specific and is correlated directly with viscosity and hydration free energy

Sylvie Roke, Yixing Chen, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Chung-Wen Liang

Specific ion effects in aqueous solutions are investigated at the molecular, nanoscopic and macroscopic levels. Femtosecond elastic second harmonic scattering (fs-ESHS) is used here to assess the chemical effects of ions on molecular and nanoscopic length ...

Globularity-Selected Large Molecules for a New Generation of Multication Perovskites

Michael Graetzel, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Michael Saliba, Filippo de Angelis, Antonio Abate, Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena, Silver Hamill Turren Cruz

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) use perovskites with an APbX(3) structure, where A is a monovalent cation and X is a halide such as Cl, Br, and/or I. Currently, the cations for high-efficiency PSCs are Rb, Cs, methylammonium (MA), and/or formamidinium (FA). ...

A natural analogue of the Krein-Milman theorem is shown to fail for CAT(0) spaces. ...

Water-Mediated Ion Pairing: Occurrence and Relevance

Sylvie Roke

We present an overview of the studies of ion pairing in aqueous media of the past decade. In these studies, interactions between ions, and between ions and water, are investigated with relatively novel approaches, including dielectric relaxation spectrosco ...

KEu(MoO4)(2): Polymorphism, Structures, and Luminescent Properties

Alla Arakcheeva, Philip Pattison

In this paper, with the example of two different polymorphs of KEu(MoO4)(2), the influence of the ordering of the A-cations on the luminescent properties in scheelite related compounds (A',A '') (B',B '')O-4 is investigated. The polymorphs were synthe ...

Actions of amenable equivalence relations on CAT(0) fields

Martin Anderegg, Philippe Paul Antoine Henry

We present the general notion of Borel fields of metric spaces and show some properties of such fields. Then we make the study specific to the Borel fields of proper CAT(0) spaces and we show that the standard tools we need behave in a Borel way. We also i ...

Fixed points and amenability in non-positive curvature

Nicolas Monod

Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the torsion-free case. We est ...
