Quantum error-correcting codes and their geometries, by Simeon Ball

(DMAT, IMTech) A qubit is a two-state quantum-mechanical system. For example, the intrinsic angular momentum (spin) of an electron is such a system. It only takes two values when measured in arbitrary spatial direction, say by measuring the electrons deflection when passing by a magnetic field. The two corresponding spin-states are commonly referred to as […]

The laminin–keratin link shields the nucleus from mechanical deformation and signalling by Zanetta Kechagia, Pablo Sáez, Manuel Gómez-González, Brenda Canales, Srivatsava Viswanadha, Martín Zamarbide, Ion Andreu, Thijs Koorman, Amy E. M. Beedle, Alberto Elosegui-Artola, Patrick W. B. Derksen, Xavier Trepat, Marino Arroyo, Pere Roca-Cusachs

Nature Materials volume 22, pages1409–1420 (2023). The cell skeleton (cytoskeleton) is formed by multiple filaments of different mechanical properties, creating a dense mesh with diverse and complex responses. These cytoskeleton networks interact with the extracellular matrix (ECM) to determine the cell behavior. The paper by Kechagia et al. shows that laminin, a ubiquitous protein in

Undecidable trajectories in Euclidean ideal fluids, after [2], by Robert Cardona, Eva Miranda, and Daniel Peralta-Salas

(UB), (DMAT, IMTech, CRM), and (CSIC, ICMAT). Received September 26, 2023 1. Introduction Fundamental to the understanding of physical phenomena and dynamical systems in general is the study of the computational complexity that may arise in a given class of systems. This complexity can include undecidable phenomena and computational intractability, which is relevant not only
