We study dynamics of an artificial two-level atom in an open 1D space by measuring evolution of its coherent and incoherent emission. States of the atom -- a superconducting flux qubit coupled to a transmission line -- are fully controlled…
The collective response of a system is profoundly shaped by the interaction dynamics between its constituent elements. In physics, tailoring these interactions can enable the observation of unusual phenomena that are otherwise inaccessible…
We study the phase diagram of the asymmetric Hubbard model (AHM), which is characterized by different values of the hopping for the two spin projections of a fermion or equivalently, two different orbitals. This model is expected to provide…
Dipoles interference is studied when atomic systems are coupled to classical electromagnetic fields. The interaction between the dipoles and the classical fields induces a time-varying Aharonov-Casher phase. Averaging over the phase…
For the high-order harmonic generation in solids, we find a distinct and clean interference pattern in the high-energy end of the spectrum which can be interpreted as a Michelson interferometer of the Bloch electron. Our results are…
In this work, we studied the stability of the glycine molecule in the crystalline zwitterion form, known as {\alpha}-glycine ($^{+}$NH$_{3}$CH$_{2}$COO$^{-}$) under action of heavy cosmic ray analogs. The experiments were conducted in a…
We study the decoherence of a system of $N$ non-interacting heavy particles (atoms) due to coherent scattering with a background gas. We introduce a framework for computing the induced phase shift and loss of contrast for arbitrary…
Protein structures can be encoded into binary sequences, these are used to define a Hamming distance in conformational space: the distance between two different molecular conformations is the number of different bits in their sequences.…
By incubating the mixture of three cyanobacterial proteins, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC, with ATP in vitro, Kondo and his colleagues reconstituted the robust circadian rhythm of the phosphorylation level of KaiC (Science, 308; 414-415 (2005)).…
We have analyzed spectra recorded between 50 and 650 cm$^{-1}$ by the Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) aboard the Cassini spacecraft at low and high emission angles to determine simultaneously the H$_2$ mole fraction and ortho-to-para…
A real-space method using generating integers is used to classify the possible moire patterns for two equal hexagonal lattices. The result is that the rotations that take (n,m) to (m,n) with n,m relatively prime form the fundamental moire…
Although the strongly interacting flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) have been approached using the minimal Bistritzer-MacDonald (BM) Hamiltonian, there is mounting evidence that strain and lattice relaxation are essential in…
The solution to the long standing problem of the cohesion of organic chain compounds is proposed. We consider the tight-binding dielectric matrix with two electronic bands per chain, determine the corresponding hybridized collective modes,…
Rigidity analysis using the "pebble game" has been applied to protein crystal structures to obtain information on protein folding, assembly and t he structure-function relationship. However, previous work using this technique has not made…
In studies of dynamical systems, helium atoms scatter coherently from an ensemble of adsorbates as they diffuse on the surface. The results give information on the co-operative behaviour of interacting adsorbates and thus include the…
Structural and dynamical fingerprints of evolutionary optimization in biological networks are still unclear. We here analyze the dynamics of genetic regulatory networks responsible for the regulation of cell cycle and cell differentiation…
Real-space picture of electron recollision with the parent ion guides our understanding of the highly nonlinear response of atoms and molecules to intense low-frequency laser fields. It is also among several leading contestants for the…
The knowledge of the binding energy of molecules on astrophysically relevant ices can help to obtain an estimate of the desorption rate, i.e. the molecules residence time on the surface. This represents an important parameter for…
The predominant structural protein in vertebrates is collagen, which plays a key role in extracellular matrix and connective tissue mechanics. Despite its prevalence and physical importance in biology, the mechanical properties of molecular…
We study an alloy system where short-ranged, thermally-driven diffusion competes with externally imposed, finite-ranged, athermal atomic exchanges, as is the case in alloys under irradiation. Using a Cahn-Hilliard-type approach, we show…
