A photochemical approach to extended corannulenes by Dzeneta, Halilovic

“…We envisaged that taking corannulene, a molecule harboring an in-built defect in form of a central five-membered ring, and extending it would allow us to control where the defect will appear and thus control the properties of the extended carbon structures. …”

Effects of non-Markovianity in quantum compositions of channels with indefinite causal order by Cheong, Jian Wei

“…This backflow of information can then play a role in the many advantages seen in the quantum switch, and by extending the quantum switch operation such that the non-Markovianity is controllable, we showed that these advantages depend on the presence and amount of non-Markovianity, achieving the quantum switch case when the system is fully non-Markovian. …”
