Background & Aims: Poorly digested, fermentable carbohydrates may induce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), via unclear mechanisms. We performed a randomized trial with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis to investigate correlations be...

Journal Article
Karabanov, A., Kwiatkowski, G., Perotto, C. U., Wiśniewski, D., McMaster, J., Lesanovsky, I., & Köckenberger, W. (2016). Dynamic nuclear polarisation by thermal mixing: quantum theory and macroscopic simulations. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 18(43), 30093-30104. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6cp04345c

A theory of dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP) by thermal mixing is suggested based on purely quantum considerations. A minimal 6-level microscopic model is developed to test the theory and link it to the well known thermodynamic model. Optimal condi...

Negative activation energy and dielectric signatures of excitons and excitonic Mott transitions in quantum confined laser structures (2016)
Journal Article

Mostly, optical spectroscopies are used to investigate the physics of excitons, whereas their electrical evidences are hardly explored. Here, we examined a forward bias activated differential capacitance response of GaInP/AlGaInP based multi-quantum...

Prospects of charged-oscillator quantum-state generation with Rydberg atoms (2016)
Journal Article

We explore the possibility of engineering quantum states of a charged mechanical oscillator by coupling it to a stream of atoms in superpositions of high-lying Rydberg states. Our scheme relies on the driving of a two-phonon resonance within the osci... Read More about Prospects of charged-oscillator quantum-state generation with Rydberg atoms.
