Quantum phase slips are a dual process of particle tunneling in coherent networks. Besides being of central interest to condensed matter physics, quantum phase slips are resources that are sought to be manipulated in quantum ...

In this project I will learn how to fabricate twisted van der Waals heterostructures using mechanical exfoliation and pick up & transfer methods. I will also learn how to perform device nanofabrication using modern electron ...

An inchworm processive mechanism is proposed to explain the motion of dimeric molecular motors such as kinesin.We present here preliminary results for this mechanism focusing on observables like mean velocity, coupling ...

OpenSPIM and OpenSpinMicroscopy emerged as open access platforms for Light Sheet and Optical Projection Imaging, often called as optical mesoscopy techniques. Both projects can be easily reproduced using comprehensive ...

Tungsten (W) is an important and versatile transition metal and has a firm place at the heart of many technologies. A popular experimental technique for the characterization of tungsten and tungsten-based compounds is x-ray ...

Quantum vortices are often endowed with an effective inertial mass, due, for example, to massive particles in their cores. Such “massive vortices” display new phenomena beyond the standard picture of superfluid vortex ...

The Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG++) is a condensed matter physics application used to study superconductivity properties of materials. It’s main computations consist of calculating hamiltonian matrix which ...

In this manuscript we describe the realization of a minimal hybrid microswimmer, composed of a ferromagnetic nanorod and a paramagnetic microsphere. The unbounded pair is propelled in water upon application of a swinging ...

Many-body interactions in topological quantum systems can give rise to new phases of matter, which simultaneously exhibit both rich spatial features and topological properties. In this work, we consider spinless fermions ...
