Quantum coherent manipulation of spin information in molecular nanomagnets
2023
Los sistemas cuánticos de dos niveles basados en estados de espín, conocidos como ``qubits de espín'', son bloques prometedores para el desarrollo de tecnologías cuánticas. Entre las distintas plataformas físicas, los qubits de espín definidos en imanes de molécula única (SMM) son candidatos prometedores porque su estructura electrónica puede ajustarse fácilmente mediante ingeniería química (es decir, el Hamiltoniano de espín molecular puede modificarse con facilidad). Sin embargo, los qubits moleculares de espín generados en SMM se enfrentan a varios retos: coherencia cuántica frágil, control coherente insuficiente de los estados de espín y generación de entrelazamiento entre los qubits de…

Sing and Measure: Sound as Voice as Quanta
2022
The universal concept of a “music of the spheres” traverses the history of philosophy, science and art, from Pythagoras to Kepler and beyond. In modern times, a sphere in three dimensions—the Bloch sphere—is used to illustrate the state of a qubit, the basic unit of quantum information. On the same spherical surface, the fundamental components of voice production can be located, so that any utterance can be seen as the evolution of a unit two-dimensional vector having complex coefficients. Indeed, any sound can be analyzed and decomposed into overlapping sinusoidal components, broadband noises, and impulsive transients, which in turn can be associated to fundamental means of vocal sound pro…
Search for the Decay of the Higgs Boson to Charm Quarks with the ATLAS Experiment
2018
A direct search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to a pair of charm quarks is presented. Associated production of the Higgs and Z bosons, in the decay mode ZH→ℓ+ℓ−c¯c is studied. A data set with an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1 of pp collisions at √s=13TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC is used. The H→c¯c signature is identified using charm-tagging algorithms. The observed (expected) upper limit on σ(pp→ZH)×B(H→c¯c) is 2.7 (3.9+2.1−1.1) pb at the 95% confidence level for a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV, while the standard model value is 26 fb.
On the ‘expanded local mode’ approach applied to the methane molecule: isotopic substitutions CH3D ←CH4 and CHD3 ←CH4
2014
Operator perturbation theory and the symmetry properties of the axially symmetric XYZ3 (C3v) type molecules are used for the determination of the spectroscopic parameters in the form of functions of structural parameters and parameters of the intramolecular potential function. Several relations between sets of spectroscopic parameters of these molecules are obtained. The ‘expanded local mode’ model and the general isotopic substitution theory are used to estimate the relations between spectroscopic parameters of CH3D and CHD3, on one hand, and with the Td symmetric isotopic species, CH4, on the other hand. Test calculations with the isotopic relations show that even without including prior …
