The cell membrane is the encompassing protective shield of every cell and it is composed of a multitude of proteins, lipids and other molecules. The organization of the cell membrane is inextricably ...
Ever since the advent of modern technology, major developments have come hand in hand with miniaturization and speed of operation. A proof of this is provided by the impressive success of Moore's law, ...
The field of photonics comprehends the generation, manipulation and detection of light (photons). Over the past decades, it has underpinned many of the technological advances upon which we rely on a ...
Polarization gating imaging is a popular and widely used imaging technique in biomedical optics to sense tissues, deeper volumes, and also selectively probe sub-superficial volumes. Due to the ...
The continuous development of laser sources delivering ultra-short light pulses underpins much of the current progress in experimental science, particularly in the domain of physics concerned with ...
Thin film photovoltaics encompass a group of technologies able to harvest light within a few microns thickness. The reduced thickness allows a low cost of manufacture while making the films flexible ...
This work reports on the construction of a new-generation system capable to create single-mode spinor Bose-Einstein condensates of 87Rb, and non-destructively probe them using optical Faraday rotation. ...
The ability to control the optical frequency of quantum state carriers (i.e. photons) is an important functionality for future quantum networks. It allows all matter quantum systems - nodes of the network ...
This PhD thesis is in the scope of experimental quantum communication. It deals with correlated photon pairs of which one photon is stored in a solid state device, while the other photon is at telecom ...
Quantum Brownian motion represents a paradigmatic model of open quantum system, namely a system which cannot be treated as an isolated one, because of the unavoidable interaction with the surrounding ...
