IFISC researchers demonstrate the potential of Gaussian states in Reservoir Computing
March 23, 2021
An international team led by researchers of the Institute of
Cross-disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC, UIB-CSIC) has proposed
the use of Gaussian states to perform reservoir computing both in quantum and
classical regimes. The paper is published in Communications ...

A study analyses how microplastics sink in the Mediterranean Sea
Feb. 16, 2021
A study, with participation of IFISC (UIB-CSIC) researchers, describes
how microplastics sink in the Mediterranean Sea and analyses the consequences
for their dispersion and distribution throughout the water column. The work,
published in Ocean Science, proposes a model for the ...
Experimental evidence of the Radar COVID application
Jan. 27, 2021
Identifying
the contacts with whom an infected person has been is key in any
pandemic to stop the spread of the pathogen. This can be done
manually, by asking the sick person, however it is an extremely slow
and complex ...
Defining the 'temperature' of language features
Jan. 22, 2021
It is estimated that 'modern' human
language has been with us for at least 100,000 years. Unfortunately, the
historical evolution of languages is often poorly documented, and evidence does
not go further back in time than the moment when ...
The Andreev-Coulomb effect in quantum dots
Dec. 28, 2020
Quantum
dots are nanoscale systems where electrons are confined in the three spatial
dimensions. This unique feature allows us to control the current that passes
through a quantum dot, which thus shows properties similar to a transistor. A
remarkable transport ...
