Weak-Measurement-Induced Asymmetric Dephasing: Manifestation of Intrinsic Measurement Chirality [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2021
Geometrical dephasing is distinct from dynamical dephasing in that it depends on the trajectory traversed, hence it reverses its sign upon flipping the direction in which the path is traced. Here we study sequences of generalized (weak) measurements that steer a system in a closed trajectory.

Dysfunctional neuro-muscular mechanisms explain gradual gait changes in prodromal spastic paraplegia

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2023
Background In Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) type 4 (SPG4) a length-dependent axonal degeneration in the cortico-spinal tract leads to progressing symptoms of hyperreflexia, muscle weakness, and spasticity of lower extremities.
