• Abstract

  The aim of this project is the development of fundamental research at the frontier of low-dimensional systems sciences. The scope of the Project embraces nanostructures in general, with a special focus on semiconductor systems. The majority of the projects proposed here follows the on-going research of the main researchers of the working team of this project. Furthermore, there is also a …

• Abstract

  A myriad of real systems can be described by network theory, like biological and artificial systems. One aspect that permeates most of these systems is how the information diffuses throughout the network. In many cases we see that this occurs in an epidemic regime, a characteristic phase in which the information takes over on the network. We will focus on this phenomenon in brain networks…

• Abstract

  In this project we will study electronic states of quantum well in heterostructures that have topological phase, aiming to understand and control this phase by surface acoustic waves (SAWs). We will also study the quantum dynamics of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor cavities. The application of the surface acoustic waves will also be studied in this system. We will analyze the coupling…

• Abstract

  The development of semiconductor growth allows today the use of these materials for the study of fundamental aspects of condensed matter physics. Among these systems, a particular interest is in quantum dots, systems where the carriers are confined in three dimensions. In this project we will study two situations where we explore the quantum dots to the understanding of fundamental aspect…

• Abstract

  The principal goal of the project is to obtain an external control of topological phases in condensed matter. The research studies two possible topological insulators materials: i) HgTe-CdTe family which shows an HgTe/CdTe interface state that may induce non-trivial topological states and ii) polaritons, which under certain conditions may also present non-trivial topological states. Surfa…

  Interaction of matter states with the environment: optical cavities and mechanical waves, BE.EP.DR

• Abstract

  Human brain development is based on the interplay between genetic information and environment interaction. This process takes place during the first years of life until adult age when the human brain is basically structured. The project aims to apply the theory of complex networks to understand this process. The emphasis is in the interpretation of the neural network characteristics, deve…

  Neural networks: structural, dynamics and evolution, BE.PQ

• Abstract

  Neurons encode information in the form of short action potentials or spikes and, considering a population of neurons, the combination of spikes and silences forms a neural "codeword". The elements, or "bits", of that codeword are usually correlated to each other, meaning that the behavior of the network is not well described by the sum of its parts. This has led to the suggestion that sta…
