    Coherent dynamics of a flux qubit coupled to a harmonic oscillator

    In the emerging field of quantum computation1 and quantum information, superconducting devices are promising candidates for the implementation of solid-state quantum bits (qubits). Single-qubit operations2,3,4,5,

    Dynamics of a Qubit Coupled to a Harmonic Oscillator

    We present experimental results showing the coherent dynamics of a flux-qubit coupled to the plasma mode of its measuring DC-SQUID. Resonances corresponding to transitions where both the qubit and the oscillat...

    Ajuba negatively regulates the Wnt signaling pathway by promoting GSK-3β-mediated phosphorylation of β-catenin

    The Wnt signaling pathway is essential for embryonic development and carcinogenesis. Upon Wnt stimulation, β-catenin is stabilized and associates with T-cell factor or lymphoid enhancing factor, thereby activatin...

    Two-photon probe of the Jaynes–Cummings model and controlled symmetry breaking in circuit QED

    Micrometre-scale superconducting circuits can act as quantum two-level systems, but unlike in their natural counterparts—such as atoms—the parameters of these ‘artificial qubits’ can be controlled externally. ...

    Quantum state control, entanglement, and readout of the Josephson persistent-current qubit

    Quantum state control including entanglement, and readout of the Josephson persistent-current qubit, flux qubit, are reviewed. First, we mention our single-shot readout of quantum superposition state of a flux...

    TGF-β drives epithelial-mesenchymal transition through δEF1-mediated downregulation of ESRP

    Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial event in wound healing, tissue repair and cancer progression in adult tissues. We have recently shown that transforming growth factor (TGF)-β-induced EMT in...

    Structural basis for the altered drug sensitivities of non-small cell lung cancer-associated mutants of human epidermal growth factor receptor

    The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has an essential role in multiple signaling pathways, including cell proliferation and migration, through extracellular ligand binding and subsequent activation of i...

    Inhibition of ASK1-p38 pathway prevents neural cell death following optic nerve injury

    Optic nerve injury (ONI) induces retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death and optic nerve atrophy that lead to visual loss. Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) is an evolutionarily conserved mitogen-activated...
