"Nanosciences Foundation" Seminars in 2010
Biological And Chemical Sensing On Nanoparticle Based Plasmonic Interfaces
Thursday 16 Decembre 2010 at 4pm Amphitheatre P015 of the 'Ecole PHELMA Polygone' 23 rue des martyrs 38000 Grenoble Understanding and tuning the optical behavior of noble metal nanoparticles has become an intensive research area over the last years due to their consideration as components of optical sensors [1]. The influence of particle parameters such as shape, size, metal composition and interparticle distance on the plasmonic behavior have been...

[Read More]Protecting and recovering information in entangled open systems
Thursday 29 April 2010 at the 'Ecole PHELMA Polygone' (formarly called ENSERG) Speaker's Abstract and biography In this talk we analyze strategies to protect and recover information when entangled systems are subjected to unavoidable decoherence mechanisms. We focus on the situations in which some of the information lost to the reservoirs can be recovered through measurements performed on the environment of the affected system. In particular, we use the...
