Entangled photon pair generation in an integrated SiC platform.

Entanglement plays a vital role in quantum information processing. Owing to its unique material properties, silicon carbide recently emerged as a promising candidate for the scalable implementation of advanced quantum information processing capabilities. To date, however, only entanglement of nuclear spins has been reported in silicon carbide, while an entangled photon source, whether it is based on bulk or chip-scale technologies, has remained elusive.

Tho2 is critical for the recruitment of Rrp6 to chromatin in response to perturbed mRNP biogenesis.

The eukaryotic THO complex coordinates the assembly of so-called messenger RNA-ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs), a process that involves cotranscriptional coating of nascent mRNAs with proteins. Once formed, mRNPs undergo a quality control step that marks them either for active transport to the cytoplasm, or Rrp6/RNA exosome-mediated degradation in the nucleus. However, the mechanism behind the quality control of nascent mRNPs is still unclear.

Chemical Characterization and Antifungal Activity of Blue Tansy () Essential Oil and Crude Extracts against f. sp. an Agent Causing Bayoud Disease of Date Palm.

L. is a Mediterranean plant, commonly known as Blue Tansy due to its blue colour as an essential oil, which is widely used for medicinal purposes. However, there are no studies on the bioactive compounds (especially, phenolic compounds) and the biological properties of their organic extracts.

Synchronization and coexistence in quantum networks.

We investigate the coexistence of clock synchronization protocols with quantum signals in a common single-mode optical fiber. By measuring optical noise between 1500 nm to 1620 nm we demonstrate a potential for up to 100 quantum, 100 GHz wide channels coexisting with the classical synchronization signals. Both "White Rabbit" and pulsed laser-based synchronization protocols were characterized and compared.

Theoretical Study on Non-Linear Optics Properties of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and the Effect of Their Intercalation with Carbon Nanotubes.

Results of a theoretical study devoted to comparing NLO (non-linear optics) responses of derivatives of tetracene, isochrysene, and pyrene are reported. The static hyperpolarizability β, the dipole moment μ, the HOMO and LUMO orbitals, and their energy gap were calculated using the CAM-B3LYP density functional combined with the cc-pVDZ basis set. The para-disubstituted NO-tetracene-N(CH) has the highest NLO response, which is related to a large intramolecular charge transfer.
