Rains of solitons in a figure-of-eight passively mode-locked fiber laser
2014
International audience; We report experimental observation of rains of solitons in figure-of-eight fiber laser passively mode-locked through nonlinear optical loop mirror. Soliton pulses are created from an extended noisy background and drift until they reach a condensed phase comprising several tens of aggregated solitons. The observation of this dynamics tends to strengthen the idea of the universality of the collective behavior of solitons.
When Casimir meets Kibble–Zurek
2012
Verification of the dynamical Casimir effect (DCE) in optical systems is still elusive due to the very demanding requirements for its experimental implementation. This typically requires very fast changes in the boundary conditions of the problem. We show that an ensemble of two-level atoms collectively coupled to the electromagnetic field of a cavity, driven at low frequencies and close to a quantum phase transition, stimulates the production of photons from the vacuum. This paves the way for an effective simulation of the DCE through a mechanism that has recently found experimental demonstration. The spectral properties of the emitted radiation reflect the critical nature of the system an…
Photon Production from the Vacuum Close to the Superradiant Transition: Linking the Dynamical Casimir Effect to the Kibble-Zurek Mechanism
2012
The dynamical Casimir effect (DCE) predicts the generation of photons from the vacuum due to the parametric amplification of the quantum fluctuations of an electromagnetic field. The verification of such an effect is still elusive in optical systems due to the very demanding requirements of its experimental implementation. We show that an ensemble of two-level atoms collectively coupled to the electromagnetic field of a cavity, driven at low frequencies and close to a quantum phase transition, stimulates the production of photons from the vacuum. This paves the way to an effective simulation of the DCE through a mechanism that has recently found experimental demonstration. The spectral prop…

On the Structure of Infrared Singularities of Gauge-Theory Amplitudes
2009
A closed formula is obtained for the infrared singularities of dimensionally regularized, massless gauge-theory scattering amplitudes with an arbitrary number of legs and loops. It follows from an all-order conjecture for the anomalous-dimension matrix of n-jet operators in soft-collinear effective theory. We show that the form of this anomalous dimension is severely constrained by soft-collinear factorization, non-abelian exponentiation, and the behavior of amplitudes in collinear limits. Using a diagrammatic analysis, we demonstrate that these constraints imply that to three-loop order the anomalous dimension involves only two-parton correlations, with the possible exception of a single c…
Determinación de cocaína por espectrometría vibracional
2017
RESUMEN DE LA TESIS DOCTORAL Clara María Pérez Alfonso. DETERMINACIÓN DE COCAÍNA POR ESPECTROMETRÍA VIBRACIONAL. Universitat de València. La cocaína es una sustancia con actividad anestésica y psicoactiva que se obtiene a partir de la hoja de la planta de la coca (Erythroxylon coca o Erythroxylon novogranatense). Esta sustancia es responsable de gran parte de los casos de hospitalización por problemas agudos y muertes relacionadas con el consumo de drogas en Europa. Es la droga de abuso objeto de mayor número de incautaciones después de la planta de cannabis y el hachis, la que se encuentra en matrices más variadas y la que sufre mayor adulteración de todas las sustancias ilegales que se an…
Quantum control and long-range quantum correlations in dynamical Casimir arrays
2015
The recent observation of the dynamical Casimir effect in a modulated superconducting waveguide, coronating thirty years of world-wide research, empowered the quantum technology community with a powerful tool to create entangled photons on-chip. In this work we show how, going beyond the single waveguide paradigm using a scalable array, it is possible to create multipartite nonclassical states, with the possibility to control the long-range quantum correlations of the emitted photons. In particular, our finite-temperature theory shows how maximally entangled $NOON$ states can be engineered in a realistic setup. The results here presented open the way to new kinds of quantum fluids of light,…
Umbrales de transformación en la transición de la literatura infantil a la juvenil: el símbolo del espejo
2018
This article approaches the study of children’s literature as a threshold of change that allows readers to explore the reality around them, imagine other worlds and understand other perspectives. Based on the notion of the child’s cognitive development organized into four stages ―pre-reading, fantastic stage, fantastic-realistic stage and aesthetics stage― reading becomes a resource to combine fantasy and experience where the mirror is a highly suggestive element and prone to hundreds of interpretations and applications as can be seen in the plots of well-known books such as the brother Grimm’s Snow White, Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, Michael Ende’s The Neverending story and J…
La rinascita del mobilificio Ducrot nell’Italia del «Miracolo Economico» attraverso la documentazione dell’archivio d’impresa
2021
All’inizio degli anni Cinquanta il rilancio aziendale del mobilificio Ducrot di Palermo comprende anche la riaffermazione nel settore degli incarichi per gli arredi di sedi istituzionali pubbliche e private, di strutture alberghiere e di locali pubblici. In questo settore, denominato nella documentazione d’impresa Arredi particolari, le scelte dell’Ufficio Tecnico sono orientate ad una cauta modernità, sovente inizialmente con richiami novecentisti. L’impresa, sebbene ormai solita avvalersi del contributo di qualificati progettisti esterni (fra i quali, oltre ai nomi di Luigi Ciarlini e di Amedeo Luccichenti con Vincenzo Monaco, ricorrono i nomi di Bruno Munari, Gustavo Puitzer-Finali, Gugl…
SCIENTIFIC STUDIES FOR THE RESTORATION OF A WOOD PAINTING OF THE GALLERIA INTERDISCIPLINARE REGIONALE DELLA SICILIA - PALAZZO MIRTO DI PALERMO
2016
The Ritratto muliebre, referring to Venus, is a panel painting, oil on wood, attributed to unknown artist and probably dated to the second half of 16th century, today conserved in the Galleria Interdisciplinare Regionale della Sicilia—Palazzo Mirto of Palermo. The aim of this research was to assess the techniques used to decorate the wooden painting and to verify the state of conservation of the artwork's materials but also to identify the previous treatments. This study was the essential condition to plane and perform the correct restoration. For this reason, an integrated analytical approach based on the use of non-invasive and micro-invasive techniques was used, with the aim to obtain a …
