This volume is devoted to the latest developments in the physics of electrons in one-dimensional condensed matter systems. Particular attention is devoted to spin-orbit coupling and its consequences, that range from topological edge and bound states to the identification of possible host systems for odd frequency superconductivity. The...

We study the quantum fluctuations of the two quadratures of the emitted electromagnetic radiation generated by a quantum Hall device in a quantum point contact geometry. In particular, we focus our attention on the role played by the unavoidable electron-electron interactions between the two edge channels at filling factor two. We investigate...

We consider a quantum battery that is based on a two-level system coupled with a cavity radiation by means of a two-photon interaction. Various figures of merit, such as stored energy, average charging power, energy fluctuations, and extractable work are investigated, considering, as possible initial conditions for the cavity, a Fock state, a...

Background: Pain is one of the most disabling symptoms in multiple sclerosis. Chronic pain in multiple sclerosis is often neuropathic in nature, although a clear-cut distinction with nociceptive pain is not easy. Objective: The aim of our study was to analyze the MRIs of multiple sclerosis patients with chronic pain in order to explore possible...

Recently, there has been a great deal of interest in the possibility to exploit quantum-mechanical effects to increase the performance of energy storage systems. Here, we introduce and solve a model of a quantum supercapacitor. This consists of two chains, one containing electrons and the other one holes, hosted by arrays of double quantum...
