description: The main results from a study carried out by geographers of the
Sapienza University of Rome and financed by the Lazio Region are presented here. The objective was to analyse foreign emigration of citizens
originating - or residing prior to migration- from the Lazio area. The
phenomenon was disarticulated both from a territorial perspective (the
stock and flux leaving from each of the 378 municipalities were studied)
and a temporal one (the years from 1951 to 2006 were considered). The
principal areas of departure and the countries of destination, together
with the structure of the population and the consequences caused by
these departures on the territory were underlined. The relation between
associations and the number of emigrants were brought to light, to give
the regional administration a better instrument to manage the problem
of representation and individual participation in the diverse forms of association.
Furthermore, numerous interviews with people from Lazio abroad, both first and second generation and from different migratory fazes were gathered. The results are published in a volume and a DVD.

Cette contribution présente les principaux résultats d’une recherche entreprise par des géographes de la Sapienza Université de Rome et financée par la Région Latium. L’objectif de ces chercheurs était d’analyser
l’émigration à l’étranger des citoyens originaires - ou résidents – du Latium. Ils ont étudié le phénomène aussi bien d’un point de vue territorial (ils ont étudié les stocks et flux en provenance de 378 communes) que d’un point de vue temporel (ils ont pris en considération la période 1951-2006). Ils ont mis en évidence les principales zones de départ et les pays de destination, la typologie de la population concernée et les conséquences que ces départs ont eues sur le territoire d’origine. Le rapport entre les Associations et le nombre d’émigrants a également été mis en lumière pour offrir à la Région Latium une autre clé de lecture quant à la gestion du problème de la représentation et de la participation individuelle aux diverses formes associatives. Par ailleurs, de nombreuses interviews ont été recueillies auprès des émigrants du Latium à l’étranger de la première comme de la deuxième génération. Les résultats de cette
recherche on été publiés sous forme d’un livre et d’un DVD.

description: We present the discovery of a triplet of emission-line nuclei in the disturbed disk galaxy NGC 3341, based on archival data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and new observations from the Keck Observatory. This galaxy contains two offset nuclei within or projected against its disk, at projected distances of 5.1 and 8.4 kpc from its primary nucleus and at radial velocity separation of less than 200 km/s from the primary. These appear to be either dwarf ellipticals or the bulges of low-mass spirals whose disks have already been stripped off while merging into the primary galaxy. The inner offset nucleus has a Seyfert 2 spectrum and a stellar velocity dispersion of 70+/-7 km/s. The outer offset nucleus has very weak emission lines consistent with a LINER classification, and the primary nucleus has an emission-line spectrum close to the boundary between LINER/HII composite systems and HII nuclei; both may contain accreting massive black holes, but the optical classifications alone are ambiguous. The detection of an offset active nucleus in NGC 3341 provides a strong suggestion that black hole accretion episodes during minor mergers can be triggered in the nuclei of dwarf secondary galaxies as well as in the primary.

Uso di torbe e compost per il contenimento delle malattie telluriche
Creators: name: Pane, Catello
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2008

description: I patogeni tellurici, che costituiscono i principali fattori limitanti la produttività degli agro-ecosistemi, sono molto spesso difficili da controllare mediante le strategie di lotta convenzionali. I compost utilizzati nel settore vivaistico come ammendanti di substrati di coltivazione a base di torba possono essere di grande utilità come metodo di lotta alternativo alle malattie.
In questo lavoro, cinque compost ottenuti da rifiuti solidi urbani (RSU), deiezioni zootecniche, residui colturali e/o industriali e materiali di potatura, sono stati miscelati alla torba e saggiati per valutarne la capacità di sopprimere il damping-off causato da Pythium ultimum, Rhizoctonia solani e Sclerotinia minor sulla pianta ospite Lepidium sativum.
L’ammendamento della torba con i diversi compost ha fatto registrare una minore incidenza del damping-off per tutti e tre i patogeni inoculati. I compost risultati più efficaci nel controllo dei patogeni sono stati quelli prodotti a partire da deiezioni zootecniche, da RSU e da scarti di materiali industriali. La soppressività rilevata è risultata dipendente dalla componente biologica dei compost, essendo essa diminuita o annullata con la sterilizzazione. Il ruolo delle comunità microbiche nel contenimento delle malattie è dimostrato anche dalla correlazione positiva tra soppressività e attività enzimatica totale (FDA) e specifica (Chitinasi e Glucanasi).
È stato ipotizzato che la microflora presente nei compost antagonizza i patogeni attraverso la competizione per le risorse energetiche e, in taluni casi, attraverso la produzione di enzimi litici. Il profilo metabolico delle comunità microbiche rilevato mediante il sistema BiologTM è un parametro in grado di quantificare il livello di fungistasi degli ammendanti organici. La soppressione delle malattie è risultata correlata con la velocità di decomposizione dei substrati e con la diversità e versatilità catabolica dei compost. La disponibilità per la microflora di molecole energetiche prontamente assimilabili come i polisaccaridi assume un significato fondamentale nel determinismo della soppressività.
La spettroscopia 13C CPMAS NMR ha evidenziato che il contenuto di tali composti è fondamentale per sostenere l’attività dei microrganismi benefici presenti nei compost.
Questi risultati indicano che l’applicazione di torbe miscelate a compost è una strategia potenzialmente utile nelle produzioni vegetali a basso impatto ambientale.
Petersenia pollagaster (Oomycetes) : an invasive pathogen of Chondrus crispus (Rhodophyceae)
Creators: name: Molina, Francis I.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Cytochemistry, vital staining, light- and transmission electron microscopy were employed to study the host-parasite relationship between a pathogenic oomycete and a maricultured gametophytic strain of Chondrns crispus Stackhouse (Irish moss). Inoculation of healthy algal thalli with infective fungal zoospores was performed at five temperatures and the highest infection rate was obtained at 20C. The cycle consisting of infection of healthy thalli, endobictic development, and release of zoospores is completed in 48-72 h at this temperature. The parasite initially invades cortical cells of the host and spreads to the sub-cortical and medullary tissues. It is endobiotic, simple, holccarpic, and produces heterokont zoospores which are released via a single exit tube. Cytochemical staining procedures employing Calcofluor White, Congo Red, and Zinc Chloriodide revealed the presence of cellulose in sporangial walls. The pathogen is assigned to Petersenia pollagaster (Petersen) Sparrow. Four fluorochroraes were initially screened for fluorescence differentiation between living and dead host cells. The most consistent results were obtained with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Incubation of newly inoculated host tissue in this fluorochrome resulted in the fluorescence of host cells around infection sites, showing extensive host tissue damage. Ultrastructural studies revealed that zoospores retract their flagella during encystment cn the host alga. They soon become invested with a thin wall and a fuzzy cell coat which may have a role in host recognition and attachment. The development is mainly intracellular. The parasite initially develops within the host as a protoplast. Its wall-less vegetative thallus proliferates via a symplastic route and causes the fusion of host cells through the removal of pit plugs. Damage to host tissue is minimal during the early stages of development and suggests the parasite's need for a living host. Mobilization of floridean starch grains in the host cytoplasm is indicated by their apparent dissolution. Death of host cells, characterized by disintegration of the plasmalerama, appears to trigger zcosporcgenesis. Cleavage of the sporogenic cytoplasm is accomplished by the fusion of Golgi-derived cisternae and small vacuoles. Formation of zoospores is completed within the sporangium. The death of host cells at infection sites and the demise of some zoospores inside the algal thallus implies a hypersensitive host response.
The Correlation Between Star Formation and 21cm Emission During the Reionization Epoch

description: Reionization is thought to be dominated by low mass galaxies, while direct observations of resolved galaxies probe only the most massive, rarest objects. The cross-correlation between fluctuations in the surface brightness of the cumulative Ly-alpha emission (which serves as a proxy for the star formation rate) and the redshifted 21cm signal from neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium (IGM), will directly probe the causal link between the production of ionizing photons in galaxies and the reionization of the IGM. We discuss the prospects for detecting this cross-correlation for unresolved galaxies. We find that on angular scales <10 arc-minutes, detection will be practical using widefield near-IR imaging from space in combination with the forthcoming Mileura Widefield Array - Low Frequency Demonstrator. When redshifted 21cm observations of the neutral IGM are combined with space-based near-IR imaging of Ly-alpha emission, the detection on angular scales <3 arc-minutes will be limited by the sensitivity of the 21cm signal, even when a small aperture optical telescope (~2m) and a moderate field of view (~10 square degrees) are used. On scales >3 arc-minutes, the measurement of cross-correlation will be limited by the accuracy of the foreground sky subtraction.

description: We present a method of tomography that measures the joint spectral phase (JSP) of spontaneously emitted photon pairs originating from a largely uncharacterized ``target" source. We use quantum interference between our target source and a reference source to extract the JSP with four spectrally resolved measurements, in a process that we call quantum-referenced spontaneous emission tomography (Q-SpET). We have demonstrated this method on a photonic integrated circuit for a target micro-ring resonator photon-pair source. Our results show that spontaneously emitted photon pairs from a micro-ring resonator are distinctively different from that of stimulated emission, and thus cannot in general be fully characterized using classical stimulated emission tomography without detailed knowledge of the source.

description: We report on the numerically exact simulation of the dissipative dynamics governed by quantum master equations that feature fractional quantum Hall states as unique steady states. In particular, for the paradigmatic Hofstadter model, we show how Laughlin states can be to good approximation prepared in a dissipative fashion from arbitrary initial states by simply pumping strongly interacting bosons into the lowest Chern band of the corresponding single-particle spectrum. While pure (up to topological degeneracy) steady states are only reached in the low-flux limit or for extended hopping range, we observe a certain robustness regarding the overlap of the steady state with fractional quantum Hall states for experimentally well-controlled flux densities. This may be seen as an encouraging step towards addressing the long-standing challenge of preparing strongly correlated topological phases in quantum simulators.

One dimensional sharp discrete Hardy-Rellich inequalities

description: In this paper, we establish discrete Hardy-Rellich inequalities on $\mathbb{N}$ with $Δ^\frac{\ell}{2}$ and optimal constants, for any $\ell \geq 1$. As far as we are aware, these sharp inequalities are new for $\ell \geq 3$. Our approach is to use weighted equalities to get some sharp Hardy inequalities using shifting weights, then to settle the higher order cases by iteration. We provide also a new Hardy-Leray type inequality on $\mathbb{N}$ with the same constant as the continuous setting. Furthermore, the main ideas work also for general graphs or the $\ell^p$ setting.

description: Organic thin film materials with molecular ordering are gaining attention as they exhibit semiconductor characteristics. When using them for electronics, the thermal management becomes important, where heat dissipation is directional owning to the anisotropic thermal conductivity arising from the molecular ordering. However, it is difficult to evaluate the anisotropy by simultaneously measuring in-plane and cross-plane thermal conductivities of the film on a substrate, because the film is typically as thin as tens to hundreds of nanometers and its in-plane thermal conductivity is low. Here, we develop a novel bidirectional 3ω system that measures the anisotropic thermal conductivity of thin films by patterning two metal wires with different widths and preparing the films on top, and extracting the in-plane and cross-plane thermal conductivities using the difference in their sensitivities to the metal-wire width. Using the developed system, the thermal conductivity of spin-coated poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) olystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) with thickness of 70 nm was successfully measured. The measured in-plane thermal conductivity of PEDOT:PSS film was as high as 2.9 W m-1 K-1 presumably due to the high structural ordering, giving anisotropy of 10. The calculations of measurement sensitivity to the film thickness and thermal conductivities suggest that the device can be applied to much thinner films by utilizing metal wires with smaller width.

description: The decay $B^0 \to K^0 π^0$, dominated by a $b \to s$ penguin amplitude, holds the potential for exhibiting new physics in this amplitude. In the pure QCD penguin limit one expects $\ckp = 0$ and $\skp = \sin 2 β$ for the coefficients of $\cos Δm t$ and $\sin Δm t$ in the time-dependent CP asymmetry. Small non-penguin contributions lead to corrections to these expressions which are calculated in terms of isospin-related $B\to Kπ$ rates and asymmetries, using information about strong phases from experiment. We study the prospects for incisive tests of the Standard Model through examination of these corrections. We update a prediction $\ckp=0.15\pm 0.04$, pointing out the sensitivity of a prediction $\skp\approx 1$ to the measured branching ratio for $B^0\to K^0π^0$ and to other observables.

description: We present new results on dynamical instabilities in rapidly rotating neutron-stars. In particular, using numerical simulations in full General Relativity, we analyse the effects that the stellar compactness has on the threshold for the onset of the dynamical bar-mode instability, as well as on the appearance of other dynamical instabilities. By using an extrapolation technique developed and tested in our previous study [1], we explicitly determine the threshold for a wide range of compactnesses using four sequences of models of constant baryonic mass comprising a total of 59 stellar models. Our calculation of the threshold is in good agreement with the Newtonian prediction and improves the previous post-Newtonian estimates. In addition, we find that for stars with sufficiently large mass and compactness, the m=3 deformation is the fastest growing one. For all of the models considered, the non-axisymmetric instability is suppressed on a dynamical timescale with an m=1 deformation dominating the final stages of the instability. These results, together with those presented in [1], suggest that an m=1 deformation represents a general and late-time feature of non-axisymmetric dynamical instabilities both in full General Relativity and in Newtonian gravity.

description: Within the field of Cross-Cultural Pragmatics, the analysis on the working of the linguistic act of proposing in Spanish and Italian hasn’t attracted enough attention if compared to other acts such as, among others, requests, invitations, refusals and compliments. In this study we approach this topic starting from the hypothesis that two languages that are perceived to be close from a cultural perspective should activate similar pragmatic strategies when proposing something. Through the analysis of 16 pragmatically oriented conversations we will see that, along the lines of previous studies, Italian and Spanish speakers activate slightly different strategies when formulating a proposal despite the starting point.

description: The response of bright and dark solitons to rapid variations in an expulsive longitudinal trap is investigated. We concentrate on the effect of transient changes in the trap frequency in the form of temporal delta kicks and the hyperbolic cotangent functions. Exact expressions are obtained for the soliton profiles. This is accomplished using the fact that a suitable linear Schrodinger stationary state solution in time can be effectively combined with the solutions of non-linear Schrodinger equation, for obtaining solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with time dependent scattering length in a harmonic trap. Interestingly, there is rapid pulse amplification in certain scenarios.
Crisis and Dystopia in the Current Spanish Novel

description: Europe in general and Spain in particular are still experiencing the consequences of the 2008 financial crisis. Spanish cultural narratives have imagined other possible scenarios around a financial crisis that has not only been an economic one, but also a social one. In that context, Spanish literature was used not only as a means to elaborate coherent narratives in times of crisis but also as a space to create other possible worlds. The novels Un incendio invisible (2011), by Sara Mesa, and Por si se ve la Luz (2013), by Lara Moreno, are both set in imaginary places in which their protagonists – sometimes driven by desire and other times by necessity – survive in hostile, abandoned and primitive places. The article attempts to analyse the dominance of the construction of dystopian places and the creation of ‘another possible world’ as a consequence of the financial crisis of 2008.

description: This article analyses two examples of Brazilian literature, João Guimarães Rosa’s Grande sertão: veredas and João Antônio’s “Abraçado ao meu rancor”. Whereas the first narrates the sertão, “Abraçado ao meu rancor” is entirely dedicated to the metropolis of São Paulo. This article aims to display a series of resemblances between the two pieces that tend to disrupt an old but still active axiom of Brazilian social thought: the dichotomy between the country (sertão) and the city. The analysis begins by building up the distinction between the sertão and the city as it appears in most Brazilian literature and literary criticism. This opposition leads to a series of other constitutive polarities, such as development/underdevelopment, nature/culture, faith/reason. Through a reading of Rosa’s novel and Antônio’s story, this article will then juxtapose the sertão and the city showing how oppositions that have sustained so much of the Brazilian social thought are categories that need to be deconstructed.

description: (Abridged) We describe a sample of low-mass Seyfert 2 galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, having a median absolute magnitude of M_g = -19.0 mag. These galaxies are Type 2 counterparts to the Seyfert 1 galaxies with intermediate-mass black holes identified by Greene & Ho (2004). Spectra obtained with the Echellette Spectrograph and Imager at the Keck Observatory are used to determine the central stellar velocity dispersions and to examine the emission-line properties. Overall, the stellar velocity dispersions are low (40-90 km/s), and we find 12 objects having sigma < 60 km/s, a range where very few Seyfert 2 galaxies were previously known. The sample follows the correlation between stellar velocity dispersion and FWHM([OIII]) seen in more massive Seyfert galaxies, indicating that the narrow-line FWHM values are largely determined by virial motion of gas in the central regions of the host galaxies. Using estimates of the black hole masses and AGN bolometric luminosities, we find that these galaxies are typically radiating at a high fraction of their Eddington rate, with a median L_bol/L_Edd = 0.4. We identify one galaxy, SDSS J110912.40+612346.7, as a Type 2 analog of the nearby dwarf Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4395, with a nearly identical narrow-line spectrum and a dwarf spiral host of only M_g = -16.8 mag. Forthcoming observations of this sample, including X-ray and mid-infrared spectroscopy, can provide new tests of the obscuring torus model for active galaxies at low luminosities.

Foix and Gabriel Ferrater focusing on what could be considered its culmination: the poem that Foix wrote in the summer of 1973 in Port de la Selva after the death of his friend. Particularly, the study proposes an interpretation of what Foix achieved with the changes he made, in the various versions of the text that have been preserved, in the famous two lines that close the poem. The analysis stresses its effects on rhyme, prosody and rhythm.

Occupations and Prisons: Writing, Thought and Affected Spaces
Creators: name: Pons, Margalida
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia

description: Starting from texts by poet and activist Patricia Heras, philosopher Marina Garcés, and artist Mireia Sallarès, this article will focus on the affective value of spaces in the public sphere. Heras, Garcés and Sallarès converge in an emotional appropriation of shared spaces that generates new forms of commitment to the community. Their works also constitute synergic affective atmospheres that confer value on anonymous or stigmatised subjects. Space and emotion are thus united in emotopes that, starting from individual experiences, transcend them to become incipient symbols of the transformation of a city, the resistance to the state authority or the survival of a country wounded by wars.

Republican Constellations
Creators: name: Domínguez Gutiérrez, M. Carmen
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description: This note reflects on the need to reevaluate labels that protagonists of Spanish republican cultural life gave to themselves. Reasons provided by Bergamín, one of its protagonists, dismantle the importance of a famous act in Seville that canonised only a part of the actors of that cultural moment. Furthermore it allows us to understand that using those labels expand the composition of an heterogeneous group who worked together in a new political project to modernise the country. The time has come to become aware that the nomenclature still used is the product of literary historiography, strongly politicised by a dictatorial state.

Dichotic perception and memory capability after electroconvulsive therapy
Creators: name: Williams, Karl Munro
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: To investigate whether electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is associated with deficits in cognitive functioning, accuracy of dichotic perception and memory was tested in 11 depressed patients before and after treatment with ECT. The performance of these patients was compared with that of remitted and depressed patients who had been treated with ECT at least 6 months previously (N=15), depressed patients who were currently being treated with medication and who had never received ECT (N=15), remitted depressives who had never received ECT (N=17), and normal individuals without history of affective disorder (N=20). Prior to treatment, the patients who were to receive ECT had impaired levels of performance on a test of verbal memory (Logical Memory) and on a test of visuospatial memory (Benton Visual Retention Test). These deficits in performance were apparently attributable to the high level of depression present among those patients. Two weeks after treatment, and despite clinical remission, the ECT patients continued to exhibit diminished levels of performance on the test of verbal memory and also showed significant impairment in the ability to recall autobiographical material. No deficits in performance were detected among the patients who had received ECT at least 6 months previously, and no other differences among groups reached statistical significance. With regard to dichotic perceptual ability, no differences among groups were detected. However, subjects who were currently in treatment with ECT, as well as the depressed subjects overall, failed to demonstrate the degree of ear asymmetry that is normally found on tests of dichotic perception. Possible reasons for this lack of asymmetry are discussed. It is noted that the research evidence that has been accrued to date has tended to support the hypothesis that there is an asymmetry of cerebral hemispheric activation and dominance during certain states of psychopathology. In depression this hemispheric imbalance has usually been found to be one of relative dominance of the right cerebral hemisphere. The results of the present study are taken to provide support for the theory that there are abnormalities of hemispheric lateralization during states of depression. The results of the present study do not provide any evidence of long-term (that is, 6 months or more after treatment) deficits in cognitive functioning associated with ECT.

description: In the first part of this paper (mainly a review) we present general and formal (simple) introductions to the ordinary gaussian waves and to the Bessel waves, by explicitly separating the cases of the beams from the cases of the pulses; and, finally, an analogous introduction is presented for the Localized Waves (LW), pulses or beams. Always we stress the very different characteristics of the gaussian with respect to the Bessel waves and to the LWs, showing the numerous and important properties of the latter w.r.t. the former ones: Properties that may find application in all fields in which an essential role is played by a wave-equation (like electromagnetism, optics, acoustics, seismology, geophysics, gravitation, elementary particle physics, etc.). In the second part of this paper (namely, in its Appendix), we recall at first how, in the seventies and eighties, the geometrical methods of Special Relativity (SR) had predicted --in the sense below specified-- the existence of the most interesting LWs, i.e., of the X-shaped pulses. At last, in connection with the circumstance that the X-shaped waves are endowed with Superluminal group-velocities (as carefully discussed in the first part of this article), we briefly mention the various experimental sectors of physics in which Superluminal motions seem to appear: In particular, a bird's-eye view is presented of the experiments till now performed with evanescent waves (and/or tunneling photons), and with the "localized Superluminal solutions" to the wave equations.

description: Urban Growth and Environmental Performance of Italian Cities: The Case Study of Rome
Italy, as the other western countries, is characterised by a high rate of
urban population, which is growth, in particular, between 1950 and
1970. Changes occurred without the necessary control and management
of the drivers, determining many problems of the nowadays Italian cities.
Despite the slowing down of demographic growth, the main pressure on
the urban quality of Italian cities is urban sprawl, that is the leading cause
of the progressive erosion of agricultural, natural and coastal areas.
The case study of Rome, the Italian city most affected by uncontrolled
urban growth, in this framework can be very useful to underline how
the analysis of land changes can support the definition of strategies to
increase life and environmental quality.

Croissance et performance de l’environnement dans les villes: le cas Rome
Suivant la moyenne des autres pays de l'Occident, l'Italie possède un haut taux de population urbaine qu'on a vue augmenter entre 1950 et 1970.
Comme les changements se sont réalisés sans le contrôle et le guide des
Institutions, locales et nationales à la fois, on retrouve un tas de problèmes encore à résoudre dans les villes italiennes d'aujourd'hui. Même en présence d'une forte réduction des naissances, le sprawl urbain (c'est-àdire le vrai moteur de la consommation des aires agricoles, naturelles et côtières) représente la pression la plus importante sur la qualité urbaine des villes italiennes. On trouve une croissance urbaine sans contrôle à Rome: le cas peut donc etre très utile lorsque l'on veut souligner comment l'analyse des changements dans l'exploitation du sol porrai bien soutenir des politiques finalisées à améliorer la qualité de l'environnement et de la vie à la fois.

description: Italian emigrants in Canada (with strong concentrations in Toronto and
Montreal) were employed mainly in the field of building and road construction.
This led to the establishment of an Italian community of around one and a half million people between the two major cities, which, unlike what occurred in Great Britain and the U.S.A., rendered not only economic production but a cultural one as well. In no other nation other than Canada
did Italian emigrants produce such an important and homogenous literary
body, so much so as to be considered (and accepted) as an unequivocal
component of literature in what has become their second country.

Au Canada, les émigrés italiens (fortement concentrés dans les villes
de Toronto et Montréal) ont essentiellement été employés dans le bâtiment et la construction des routes. Entre ces deux métropoles, une
communauté italienne d’environ un million et demi de personnes s’est
constituée et a généré, contrairement à ce qui s’est produit au Royaume
Uni et aux USA, des retombées non seulement économiques mais aussi culturelles. En effet, nulle part ailleurs qu’au Canada, l’émigration italienne n’a su produire un aussi important et homogène corpus littéraire considéré (et accepté) comme une composante incontournable de l’histoire littéraire de ce pays devenu la seconde patrie.

description: The dynamics of a system composed of two coupled optical cavities, each containing a single two-level atom, is studied over a wide range of detuning and coupling values. A description of the field in terms of delocalized modes reveals that the detuning between the atoms and these modes is controlled by the coupling between the cavities; this detuning in turn governs the nature of the dynamics. If the atoms are highly detuned from both delocalized field modes, the dynamics becomes dispersive and an excitation may be transferred from the first atom to the second without populating the field. In the case of resonance between the atoms and one of the delocalized modes, state transfer between the atoms requires intermediate excitation of the field. Thus the interaction between the two atoms can be controlled by adjusting the coupling between the cavities.
