Spacetime and the Philosophical Challenge of Quantum Gravity [PDF]

, 2001
We survey some philosophical aspects of the search for a quantum theory of gravity, emphasising how quantum gravity throws into doubt the treatment of spacetime common to the two `ingredient theories' (quantum theory and general relativity), as a 4 ...

Thermodynamics as a Consequence of Information Conservation [PDF]

Quantum, 2019
Thermodynamics and information have intricate interrelations. Often thermodynamics is considered to be the logical premise to justify that $\textit{information is physical}$ - through Landauer's principle -, thereby also linking information and ...

Invisible but not inaccessible—Revealing transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins with solution NMR and complementary methods

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins may be ‘invisible’ to direct detection yet remain accessible to solution NMR through equilibrium‐exchange measurements and pressure‐jump experiments. Complementary methods report on mass, stoichiometry, selected distance distributions, morphology, and internal packing.

Non-Markovian quantum thermodynamics: laws and fluctuation theorems

, 2018
International audienceThis work brings together thermodynamics and nonequilibrium quantum theory, by showing that a real-time diagrammatic technique on the Keldysh contour is an equivalent of stochastic thermodynamics for non-Markovian quantum machines ...

A short story of quantum and information thermodynamics

SciPost Physics Lecture Notes, 2021
This Colloquium is a fast journey through the build-up of key thermodynamical concepts, i.e. work, heat and irreversibility -- and how they relate to information.

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Quantum corrections to the thermodynamics of black branes

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
In this paper we study the thermodynamics of black branes at quantum scales. We analyze both perturbative and non-perturbative corrections to the thermodynamics of such black branes.

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

Action integrals for quantum BTZ black holes

Journal of High Energy Physics
Black holes exactly incorporating quantum matter backreaction effects, namely, quantum black holes, are notoriously difficult to construct, let alone study their horizon thermodynamics.
