of quantum systems. Operational quasiprobability has the following properties:
1) direct comparisons of classical and quantum statistics is possible
2) reproduce all quantum theory results
3) it is real-valued function.
In this talk, we will discuss the results of application to nonclassicality of quantum
systems using operational quasiprobability.
In addition, the nonclassical feature of coherent states of light is studied adopting a
multiplexer of on/off detectors and post-selection. The classical model fails to
reproduce the quantum coincident probability. The failure of the classical model
results from the classical description of light, i.e. the divisibility of intensity. -

Topological Insulators and Superconductors

Physics Institute II, University of Cologneמארגן הפקולטה לפיזיקהצרו קשר תקציר Show full text abstract about Topological insulators and superconductors are new quantum s...» Topological insulators and superconductors are new quantum states of matter that are characterized by nontrivial topological structures of the Hilbert space. Recently, they attract a lot of attention because of the appearance of exotic quasiparticles such as spin-momentum-locked Dirac fermions or Majorana fermions on their edge/surface, which hold promise for various novel applications. In particular, localized zero-energy Majorana mode is expected to obey non-Abelian statistics and enable topological quantum computing. In this talk, I will introduce the basics of those materials and present some of the key contributions we have made in this new frontier, such as the synthesis of bulk-insulating topological insulators, discovery of topological crystalline insulator, and the discovery of nematic topological superconductor. -

I will consider five major brain sub-systems from the perspective of their likely role in vibrissal system function—superior colliculus, basal ganglia, somatosensory cortex, cerebellum, and hippocampus. With respect to each of these sub-systems, the talk will illustrate how embodied modelling has helped elucidate their likely function in the brain of awake behaving animals, and will demonstrate how the appropriate co-ordination of these sub-systems, within a model of brain architecture, can give rise to integrated behaviour in life-like whiskered robots. -

The book draws from within- and between-country comparisons of several prototypes of affirmative action policy. It uses the United States as a case study of race-based preferences, and Israel as a case study of class-based preferences. For each country the model that has actually been implemented is compared to a simulated scenario of the alternative policy type. This develops new, and more global insights about the potential of race-neutral public policy to promote equality in higher education. -

Toxins that target these channels are traditionally classified as either pore-blockers or gating-modifiers, the former bind and physically occlude the channel pore, while the later bind the paddle module and restrict its movement in response to alterations in the membrane potential. During my talk, I would present a toxin derived from a cone-snail venom, exhibiting a novel allosteric action mechanism which seem to defy this traditional classification. -

Members - Dept. of Biomolecular Sciences-WISמארגן המחלקה למדעים ביומולקולרייםצרו קשר תקציר Show full text abstract about Double-mutant cycle analysis provides a strategy for studyin...» Double-mutant cycle analysis provides a strategy for studying the strength of pairwise interactions within and between proteins. These pairwise interaction energies can be determined from a single native mass spectrum by measuring the intensities of the complexes formed by the two wild-type proteins, the complex of each wild-type protein with a mutant protein, and the complex of the two mutant proteins. This native mass spectrometry approach, obviates the need for error-prone measurements of binding constants, and provides information regarding multiple interactions in a single spectrum. Recently we advanced this MS-based approach to enable direct measurements from crude cell lysate of bacteria co-expressing the four proteins forming the cycle. This method overcomes the need for purifying the target proteins, providing an efficient and rapid mean of determining coupling energies.

Dept of Genetics, The Silberman Institute of Life Sciences, Edmond J. Safra Campus, The Hebrew University of Jerusalemמארגן המחלקה למדעי המוחצרו קשר תקציר Show full text abstract about Animal ability to effectively locate and navigate towards fo...» Animal ability to effectively locate and navigate towards food sources is central for survival. Here, using C. elegans nematodes, we revealed a previously unknown mechanism underlying efficient navigation in chemical gradients. This mechanism relies on the orchestrated dynamics of two types of chemosensory neurons: one coding gradients via stochastic pulsatile dynamics, and the second coding the gradients deterministically in a graded manner. The pulsatile dynamics obeys a novel principle where the activity adapts to the magnitude of the gradient derivative, allowing animals to take trajectories better oriented towards the target. The robust response of the second neuron to negative derivatives promotes immediate turns, thus alleviating costs of erroneous turns possibly incurred by the first neuron. This mechanism empowers an efficient navigation strategy which outperforms the classical biased-random walk strategy. Importantly, this mechanism is generalizable and other sensory modalities may use similar principles for efficient gradient-based navigation.
