      A novel brain partition highlights the modular skeleton shared by structure and function 

      Diez Palacio, Ibai; Bonifazi, Paolo; Escudero, Iñaki; Mateos, Beatriz; Muñoz, Miguel A.; Stramaglia, Sebastiano; Cortés Díaz, Jesús María (Nature Publishing Group, 2015-06-03)
      Elucidating the intricate relationship between brain structure and function, both in healthy and pathological conditions, is a key challenge for modern neuroscience. Recent progress in neuroimaging has helped advance our ...

      Artificial Life in Quantum Technologies 

      Álvarez Rodríguez, Unai; Sanz Ruiz, Mikel ORCID; Lamata Manuel, Lucas ORCID; Solano Villanueva, Enrique Leónidas ORCID (Nature Publishing, 2016-02-08)
      We develop a quantum information protocol that models the biological behaviours of individuals living in a natural selection scenario. The artificially engineered evolution of the quantum living units shows the fundamental ...

      Digital Quantum Rabi and Dicke Models in Superconducting Circuits 

      Mezzacapo, Antonio; Las Heras García, Urtzi; Simón Pedernales, Julen Jon; Di Carlo, L.; Solano Villanueva, Enrique Leónidas ORCID; Lamata Manuel, Lucas ORCID (Nature Publishing Group, 2014-12-15)
      We propose the analog-digital quantum simulation of the quantum Rabi and Dicke models using circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). We find that all physical regimes, in particular those which are impossible to realize in ...

      Efficient Gate-tunable light-emitting device made of defective boron nitride nanotubes: from ultraviolet to the visible 

      Attaccalite, Claudio; Wirtz, Ludger; Marini, Andrea; Rubio Secades, Angel (Nature Publishing Group, 2013-09)
      Boron nitride is a promising material for nanotechnology applications due to its two-dimensional graphene-like, insulating, and highly-resistant structure. Recently it has received a lot of attention as a substrate to grow ...

      Quantum Simulation of Dissipative Processes without Reservoir Engineering 

      Di Candia, Roberto; Simón Pedernales, Julen Jon; Del Campo, Adolfo; Solano Villanueva, Enrique Leónidas ORCID; Casanova Marcos, Jorge (Nature Publishing Group, 2015-05-29)
      We present a quantum algorithm to simulate general finite dimensional Lindblad master equations without the requirement of engineering the system-environment interactions. The proposed method is able to simulate both ...

      Quantum Simulator for Transport Phenomena in Fluid Flows 

      Mezzacapo, Antonio; Sanz Ruiz, Mikel ORCID; Lamata Manuel, Lucas ORCID; Egusquiza Egusquiza, Iñigo Luis; S. Succi; Solano Villanueva, Enrique Leónidas ORCID (Nature Publishing Group, 2015-08-17)
      Transport phenomena still stand as one of the most challenging problems in computational physics. By exploiting the analogies between Dirac and lattice Boltzmann equations, we develop a quantum simulator based on ...

      Scalable quantum memory in the ultrastrong coupling regime 

      Kyaw, T. H.; Felicetti, Simone; Romero Huenchuñir, Guillermo Esteban; Solano Villanueva, Enrique Leónidas ORCID; Kwek, L. C. (Nature Publishing, 2015-03-02)
      Circuit quantum electrodynamics, consisting of superconducting artificial atoms coupled to on-chip resonators, represents a prime candidate to implement the scalable quantum computing architecture because of the presence ...

      The Forbidden Quantum Adder 

      Álvarez Rodríguez, Unai; Sanz Ruiz, Mikel ORCID; Lamata Manuel, Lucas ORCID; Solano Villanueva, Enrique Leónidas ORCID (Nature Publishing Group, 2015-07-08)
      Quantum information provides fundamentally different computational resources than classical information. We prove that there is no unitary protocol able to add unknown quantum states belonging to different Hilbert spaces. ...

      Two-magnon bound state causes ultrafast thermally induced magnetisation switching 

      Barker, J.; Atxitia Macizo, Unai; Ostler, T. A.; Hovorka, O.; Chubykalo-Fesenko, O.; Chantrell, R. W. (Nature Publishing Group, 2013-11)
      There has been much interest recently in the discovery of thermally induced magnetisation switching using femtosecond laser excitation, where a ferrimagnetic system can be switched deterministically without an applied ...
