Optimal gain sensing of quantum-limited phase-insensitive amplifiers by Nair, Ranjith, Tham, Guo Yao, Gu, Mile

“…Phase-insensitive optical amplifiers uniformly amplify each quadrature of an input field and are of both fundamental and technological importance. We find the quantum limit on the precision of estimating the gain of a quantum-limited phase-insensitive amplifier using a multimode probe that may also be entangled with an ancilla system. …”

An efficient time-domain implementation of the multichromophoric Förster resonant energy transfer method by Zhong, Kai, Nguyen, Hoang Long, Do, Thanh Nhut, Tan, Howe-Siang, Knoester, Jasper, Jansen, Thomas L. C.

“…We demonstrate that with this model, both the calculated spectra and the EET rates between the two rings within the LH2 complex agree well with experimental results. We further find that the transfer between the strongly coupled rings of neighboring LH2 complexes can also be well described with our method. …”

The central element of the synaptonemal complex in mice is organized as a bilayered junction structure by Hernández-Hernández, Abrahan, Masich, Sergej, Fukuda, Tomoyuki, Kouznetsova, Anna, Sandin, Sara, Daneholt, Bertil, Höög, Christer

“…Distribution of immuno-gold particles in a lateral view of the synaptonemal complex, supported by protein interaction data, suggest that the N-terminal region of SYCP1 and SYCE3 form a joint bilayered central structure, and that SYCE1 and SYCE2 localize in between the two layers. We find that disruption of SYCE2 and TEX12 (a fourth central element protein) localization to the central element abolishes central alignment of the N-terminal region of SYCP1. …”

Exciton dynamics in colloidal quantum-dot leds under active device operations by Shendre, Sushant, Sharma, Vijay Kumar, Dang, Cuong, Demir, Hilmi Volkan

“…This allows us to reveal the statistically significant changes in the behavior of QD emission in the device at different levels of applied voltages and injection currents. We find that the QD emission efficiency first drops in device fabrication with Al electrode deposition and that the QD exciton lifetime is then statistically reduced further under the QLED’s working conditions. …”
