Published: September 2020

Our quantum device is a solid-state array of semiconducting quantum dots that is addressed and read by 2D electronic spectroscopy. The experimental ultrafast dynamics of the device is well simulated by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a Hamiltonian that describes the lower electronically excited states of the dots and three laser pulses. The time evolution induced in the electronic states of the quantum device is used to emulate the quite different nonequilibrium vibrational dynamics of a linear triatomic molecule. We simulate the energy transfer between the two local oscillators and, in a more elaborate application, the expectation values of the quantum mechanical creation and annihilation operators of each local oscillator. The simulation uses the electronic coherences engineered in the device upon interaction with a specific sequence of ultrafast pulses. The algorithm uses the algebraic description of the dynamics of the physical problem and of the hardware.

Recent studies have shown that ATP at high physiological concentrations (>5 mM) can inhibit liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) driven by interactions between intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). However, the mechanism underlying such inhibitory effect still remains elusive. Here, we used all-atom molecular dynamics simulation to study the interaction of ATP with two typical IDPs (i.

Harmonic generation, a notable non-linear phenomenon, has promising applications in information processing. For spin-waves in ferromagnetic materials, great progress has been made in the generation higher harmonics, however probing the coherence of these higher harmonics is challenging. Here, using in-situ diamond sensors, we study the coherent harmonic generation of spin waves in a soft ferromagnet.

Integrating metasurfaces on-chip offers a promising strategy for modulating and extracting guided waves, suggesting tremendous applications in compact wearable devices. However, despite the full acquisition of on-chip manipulation of optical parameters, including phase, amplitude, and polarization, the functionality of on-chip metasurfaces remains limited by the lack of wavelength selectivity. Here, an on-chip approach to differentiate wavelength components is proposed in the visible regime for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM).

The pathophysiological relationship between wound healing impairment and diabetes is an intricate process. Burn injury among diabetes patients leads to neurological, vascular, and immunological abnormalities along with impaired activities of cell proliferation, collagen production, growth factors, and cytokine activities with huge bacterial infestation. In our study, we aimed to achieve a burn wound dressing material with the help of electrospun Chitosan/Polyethylene oxide/Rosmarinic acid (CS/PEO/RA) nanofibers.
