In this article we argue that thermal reservoirs (baths) are potentially useful resources in processes involving atoms interacting with quantized electromagnetic fields and their applications to quantum technologies. One ...

We develop a unified approach to classical, quantum and post-quantum steering. The framework is based on uncharacterised (black-box) parties performing quantum measurements on their share of a (possibly unphysical) quantum ...

In this work, the combination of three different thermal lens spectroscopic methodologies was used to better determine the fluorescence quantum yield and to observe the concentration quenching in Yb3+-doped binary tellurite ...

Photocatalysis in slurry reactors have the particular characteristic that the reacting medium not only absorbs but also scatters photons and both phenomena occurs simultaneously. When this is the case, typical methods used ...

A chemometric procedure to deal with spectroscopically monitored processes involving photochemical steps is fully described. The methodology makes it possible to work with reactions that involve several components with ...

The fluorescence quantum yield is a measure of the efficiency of photon emission and quantifies the luminescent performance of a given sample. The determination of fluorescence quantum yields, particularly in scattering ...

In recent years, different methods and techniques have been applied to study the primary photophysical processes occurring in dye-loaded light-scattering powdered samples. In spite of this, there are still no reliable ...

In this master’s thesis, we developed three different topics. In the first topic, we studied the quantum adiabatic brachistochrone method (QAB) for optimizing adiabatic dynamics. In the first part of this study, we reported ...

We studied the performance of classical and quantum magnetic Otto cycle with a working substance composed of a single quantum dot using the Fock-Darwin model with the inclusion of the Zeeman interaction. Modulating an ...
