University of Konstanzמארגן המחלקה לפיזיקה כימית וביולוגיתצרו קשר תקציר Show full text abstract about While colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are already an important...» While colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are already an important building block in electro-optical devices, in the realm of quantum science and technology, they are often considered inferior with respect to emitters such as solid-state defects and epitaxial quantum dots. Despite their single-photon emission [1], demonstrations of quantum coherence and control are largely still lacking. The main obstacle towards these is spectral diffusion – stochastic fluctuations in the energy of photons emitted from an individual CQD even at cryogenic temperatures. In this talk, I will present our recent work providing, for the first time, direct and definitive proof that these fluctuations arise from stochastic electric fields in the particle’s nano environment [2]. However, the high sensitivity of CQDs to electric fields, through the quantum-confined Stark effect, can also be perceived as a feature, rather than a bug. I will present future concepts for coherent control of a single photon’s temporal wavefunction through an electric bias. Relying on tools from the terahertz and femtosecond-laser toolboxes [3,4], spectroscopy and control at fast-to-ultrafast (millisecond-to-femtosecond) timescales, will play a detrimental role in fulfilling the unique potential that CQDs hold in the field of quantum optics,.

MITמארגן המחלקה למדעי המחשב ומתמטיקה שימושיתצרו קשר תקציר Show full text abstract about The visual object category reports of artificial neural netw...» The visual object category reports of artificial neural networks (ANNs) are notoriously sensitive to tiny, adversarial image perturbations. Because human category reports (aka human percepts) are thought to be insensitive to those same small-norm perturbations — and locally stable in general — this argues that ANNs are incomplete scientific models of human visual perception. Consistent with this, we show that when small-norm image perturbations are generated by standard ANN models, human object category percepts are indeed highly stable. However, in this very same "human-presumed-stable" regime, we find that robustified ANNs reliably discover low-norm image perturbations that strongly disrupt human percepts. These previously undetectable human perceptual disruptions are massive in amplitude, approaching the same level of sensitivity seen in robustified ANNs. Further, we show that robustified ANNs support precise perceptual state interventions: they guide the construction of low-norm image perturbations that strongly alter human category percepts toward specific prescribed percepts. These observations suggest that for arbitrary starting points in image space, there exists a set of nearby "wormholes", each leading the subject from their current category perceptual state into a semantically very different state. Moreover, contemporary ANN models of biological visual processing are now accurate enough to consistently guide us to those portals.

Our work aims to decode the communication between bacterial pathogens within the digestive system and investigates whether they compete or cooperate. Additionally, we examine how commensal strains of the microbiome intercept this communication through specific metabolites -

By drawing an analogy between nematic liquid crystals and magnetostatics, I will show quantitative predictions for the connectivity and shape of defect lines in a nematic confined between two thinly spaced glass substrates. I will demonstrate experimental and numerical verification of these predictions, and identify critical parameters that tune the disclination lines' curvature within an experimental setup, as well as non-dimensional parameters that allow matching experiments and simulations at different length scales. Our system provides both physical insight and powerful tools to induce desired shapes and shape changes of defect lines. -

In this work, we explored these properties in the somatosensory system of the mouse brain. We show that during spontaneous activity in awake animals, robust interhemispheric correlations of both spiking and synaptic activities that are reduced during whisking compared to quiet wakefulness. And that the state-dependent correlations between the hemispheres stem from the state-depended nature of the corpus callosum activity. Further, to understand how sensory information is integrated across the brain's hemispheres, we studied bilateral and ipsilateral responses to passive whisker stimulation using widefield imaging and then employed a virtual tunnel environment to explore bilateral integration in active whisking -
