Emergence of highly coherent two-level systems in a noisy and dense quantum network

Sandrine Gerber, Gabriel Aeppli

Quantum sensors and qubits are usually two-level systems (TLS), the quantum analogues of classical bits assuming binary values 0 or 1. They are useful to the extent to which superpositions of 0 and 1 persist despite a noisy environment. The standard prescr ...

Cannabis use, cannabis use disorder and mental health disorders among pregnant and postpartum women in the US: A nationally representative study

Aaron Leor Sarvet

Background: Cannabis use and cannabis use disorder (CUD) are associated with mental health disorders, however the extent of this matter among pregnant and recently postpartum (e.g., new moms) women in the US is un-known. Associations between cannabis use, ...

Identification of biopsychological trait markers in functional neurological disorders

Serafeim Loukas

Weber et al. provide evidence in support of a stress-diathesis model of functional neurological disorders. They identify trauma history in the form of emotional neglect as a psychological risk factor, and reduced hippocampus and amygdala volume as a predis ...

High sensitivity, incoherent differential imaging

Chiara Bonati

Microscopic visualisation of optically transparent samples has been a topic of interest for several decades. Features such as density or chemical composition can influence the optical phase of transmitted light, and phase contrast can reveal these structur ...

Information Processing Biases: The Effects of Negative Emotional Symptoms on Sampling Pleasant and Unpleasant Information

Steffen Alexander Herff

Although theories of emotion associate negative emotional symptoms with cognitive biases in information processing, they rarely specify the details. Here, we characterize cognitive biases in information processing of pleasant and unpleasant information, an ...

Intrinsic luminescence blinking from plasmonic nanojunctions

Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Tobias Kippenberg, Philippe Andreas Rölli, Giulia Tagliabue, Karla Banjac, Aqeel Ahmed, Wen Chen, Sachin Suresh Verlekar

Plasmonic nanojunctions, consisting of adjacent metal structures with nanometre gaps, can support localised plasmon resonances that boost light matter interactions and concentrate electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale. In this regime, the optical respons ...

Non-classical photon-phonon correlations at room temperature

Santiago Tarrago Velez

With the development of quantum optics, photon correlations acquired a prominent role as a tool to test our understanding of physics, and played a key role in verifying the validity of quantum mechanics. The spatial and temporal correlations in a light fie ...

Helimagnons and Skyrmion Dynamics in Cu2OSeO3 and Fe/Gd Multilayers Explored by Brillouin Light Scattering and X-ray Microscopy

Ping Che

Spin dynamics in skyrmion hosting materials provide novel functionality in magnonics because of the formation of a novel magnon band structure and the nanoscale sizes of magnetic skyrmions. In this thesis, we explore the spin dynamics in the chiral magnet ...

Disorder‐Induced Signal Filtering with Topological Metamaterials

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

Disorder, ubiquitously present in realistic structures, is generally thought to disturb the performance of analog wave devices, as it often causes strong multiple scattering effects that largely arrest wave transportation. Contrary to this general view, he ...

Exploiting Long-Range Disorder in Slow-Light Photonic Crystal Waveguides: Anderson Localization and Ultrahigh Q/V Cavities

Juan Pablo Vasco Cano

The interplay between order and disorder in photonic lattices opens up a wide range of novel optical scattering mechanisms, cavity-mode resonances, and applications that can be obscured by typical ordered design approaches to photonics. Striking examples i ...

High spatial resolution and intrinsically strain-insensitive distributed temperature sensing based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in gas

Luc Thévenaz, Flavien Gyger

Temperature/strain cross sensitivity is a long-standing issue in Brillouin-based distributed sensors, impairing the reliability of such sensors. So far, all the proposed methods perform the discrimination by measuring two quantities showing distinct respon ...

Imaging complex objects using learning tomography

Michaël Unser, Alexandre Goy, Demetri Psaltis, Morteza Hasani Shoreh, Joowon Lim

Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) can be described using the scattering process through an inhomogeneous media. An inherent nonlinearity exists relating the scattering medium and the scattered field due to multiple scattering. Multiple scattering is oft ...

Plasmon-less surface enhanced Raman spectra induced by self-organized networks of silica nanoparticles produced by femtosecond lasers

Yves Bellouard, Erica Kathleen Block

Raman spectroscopy is the workhorse for label-free analysis of molecules. It relies on the inelastic scattering of incoming monochromatic light impinging molecules of interest. This effect leads to a very weak emission of light spectrum that provides a sig ...

Light Scattering Enhancement at the Absorption Edge in Dewetting Droplets of Cyanine Dyes

Frank Nüesch, Jakob Heier, Florent Alexandre Boudoire

Diffraction properties of thin films of dewetted cyanine dye droplets are investigated and related to the complex refractive index. Strong changes in the index of refraction are often found near the absorption edge of organic dyes. Within a small window of ...
