Quantum Entanglement in Many Body Systems

Wednesday, 24 November 2010, 12:00-13.00 Prof. Germán Sierra Instituto de Física Teórica UAM/CSIC ABSTRACT: The most fundamental property that distinguishes the classical world from the quantum world is entanglement. This fact has been known...

Single Molecule Junctions

Wednesday, 10 November 2010, 12:00-13.00 Prof. Nicolás Agraït Departamento de Física de la Materia Condensada, UAM ABSTRACT: One of the most challenging aspects to reach ultimate miniaturization of electronic devices is the characterization of...

Lasers made from self-assembled photonic structures

Wednesday, 3 November 2010, 12:00-13.00 Prof. Cefe López Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid, CSIC ABSTRACT: Ordinary lasers comprise a pumping system, a cavity and a gain medium. The cavity provides feedback and...

The curious magnetic state in undoped iron pnictides

Wednesday, 16 June 2010, 12:00-13.00 Prof. Belen Valenzuela ICMM, CSIC ABSTRACT: The recent discovered high temperature superconductors iron pnictides present a singular magnetism. The undoped compound is metallic with Q=(pi,0) columnar ordering instead of...

Quantum pumping in graphene

Wednesday, 26 May 2010, 12:00-13.00 Prof. Elsa Prada ICMM, CSIC ABSTRACT: We show that graphene-based quantum pumps can tap into evanescent modes, which penetrate deeply into the device as a consequence of Klein tunneling....
