A LiDAR-Based Recommendation System to Improve Sitting Posture Respecting Privacy.

Poor posture is becoming more widespread due to the rising number of jobs that require workers to sit for extended hours. Maintaining proper leg positioning is essential for good overall posture and long-term health. However, current monitoring methods involve multiple sensors and cameras, leading to discomfort and privacy concerns.

Phonon-Induced Pairing in Quantum Dot Quantum Simulator.

Quantum simulations can provide new insights into the physics of strongly correlated electronic systems. A well-studied system, but still open in many regards, is the Hubbard-Holstein Hamiltonian, where electronic repulsion is in competition with attraction generated by the electron-phonon coupling. In this context, we study the behavior of four quantum dots in a suspended carbon nanotube and coupled to its flexural degrees of freedom.

Single-Photon Emission Mediated by Single-Electron Tunneling in Plasmonic Nanojunctions.

Recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments reported single-molecule fluorescence induced by tunneling currents in the nanoplasmonic cavity formed by the STM tip and the substrate. The electric field of the cavity mode couples with the current-induced charge fluctuations of the molecule, allowing the excitation of photons. We investigate theoretically this system for the experimentally relevant limit of large damping rate κ for the cavity mode and arbitrary coupling strength to a single-electronic level.

Sensitivity of the mixing-current technique for the detection of mechanical motion in the coherent tunnelling regime.

In a recent publication we have studied theoretically the sensitivity of the mixing-current technique to detect nanomechanical motion by coupling the oscillator to a single-electron transistor in the incoherent tunnelling regime: [Formula: see text], where Γ is the tunnelling rate, T is the electronic temperature, [Formula: see text] and k are the Planck and the Boltzmann constant, respectively. In this work we consider the same problem when the detection device is a quantum dot in the coherent tunnelling regime ([Formula: see text]). In order to reach the best sensitivity we find that one should enter the strong coupling regime, as described in the recent publication (Micchi et al 2015 Phys.
