RIFLESSIONE APERTA DAL DIPARTIMENTO DI FISICA
Siamo addolorate ed arrabbiate per gli ennesimi casi di femminicidio di Ilaria Sula e Sara Campanella che sono emersi la scorsa settimana. Questi fatti avvengono a poco più di un anno di distanza dal femminicidio, così tragicamente simile, di Giulia Cecchettin, che tanto ha scosso l’opinione pubblica. Le parole e la posizione ferma della famiglia di Giulia Cecchettin sono rimaste impresse nella nostra memoria perché hanno fornito a tutte e tutti delle categorie mentali efficaci per comprendere ciò che era successo.… Read the rest

L’iniziativa è nata spontaneamente per rispondere allo smarrimento di tante di noi, toccate dalla vicinanza dell’esperienza di Giulia, studentessa universitaria (peraltro, in ambito scientifico) come noi siamo state o siamo. È servita però anche ad aprire una discussione sul tema della violenza di genere all’interno agli spazi che viviamo quotidianamente, come lavoratrici e studentesse del dipartimento e degli enti di ricerca che vi sono ospitati.

Abstract
We present a general recipe for deriving bounds on the precision metrology of noisy boson channels, treating both energy and total time as resources. We apply it to a series of examples with both Hamiltonian parameter estimation (frequency, displacement, squeezing) and noise parameter estimation (damping constants and temperature), explaining the relationship between different models in a common framework.… Read the rest

Abstract
We study a tightly trapped one-dimensional dipolar gas of bosonic atoms for which we derive the equation of state using a variational approximation based on the Lieb-Liniger gas Bethe ansatz wave function. We test our results by computing the breathing mode after solving the stationary generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation, finding very good agreement with experiments.… Read the rest

Title Non-Hermitian topological amplification
Abstract
Non-Hermitian (NH) Hamiltonians enable novel topological phases of matter, characterized by unique kinds of degeneracies and extreme sensitivity to changes of boundary conditions—the so-called NH skin effect. Many aspects of NH topological phases are not yet fully understood. As an example, the NH skin effect blurs the separation between edge and bulk states, which determines the breakdown of the bulk-boundary correspondence.… Read the rest

There is only one time
We draw a picture of physical systems that allows us to recognize what “time” is by requiring consistency with the way that time enters the fundamental laws of Physics. Elements of the picture are two non-interacting and yet entangled quantum systems, one of which acting as a clock. In this setting, employing the Page and Wootters mechanism with tools from large-N quantum approaches, we show that there is not a “quantum time”, possibly opposed to a “classical” one; there is only one time, and it is a manifestation of entanglement.… Read the rest

Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics of Small Systems Workshop
September 18-20, 2017
Venue University of Rome “La Sapienza” Physics Department, Marconi building I floor
Website
A challenging frontier in statistical physics concerns systems with a small number N of degrees of freedom, far from the thermodynamic limit: such an interest is motivated by the recent increase of resolution in the observation and in the manipulation of the micro-nano world. The peculiar feature of small systems is the relevance of fluctuations, which cannot be neglected.… Read the rest

ISC meeting – Diffusion Processes
An ISC-meeting on diffusion processes took place in Sesto Fiorentino (Florence) on Sept. 27th and 28th.
It was the occasion to highlight the variety of ISC research fields where diffusion plays a relevant role:
If brownian motion has been a milestone to understand the atomistic nature of matter, diffusion processes are so widespread because diffusion is one of the main “way of transport”, as we learn from the kinetic theory.… Read the rest

International Workshop SUPERHYDRIDES
Towards Room Temperature Superconductivity:
Hydrides and More
Rome, 9-10 May, Aula Marconi, CNR Headquarters
The recent discovery of superconductivity at 200 K in sulfur hydrides under pressure opens exciting perspectives in the search for superconductivity at room temperature and room pressure. Joint cooperative efforts in this direction, experimental and theoretical, from all the scientific community, are essential and welcome.
The workshop aims to summon the widest range of the scientific community in the field and to provide a first common space for exchange and discussion for both experienced and young researchers interested in the subject.… Read the rest
