More Conflict-Free Coloring of String GraphsDec 12 2017Jan 18 2019Conflict-free coloring (in short, CF-coloring) of a graph $G = (V,E)$ is a coloring of $V$ such that the neighborhood of each vertex contains a vertex whose color differs from the color of any other vertex in that neighborhood. Bounds on CF-chromatic ... More Superconducting quantum dot and the sub-gap statesJan 04 2019Quantum dots are nanostructures made of semiconducting materials that are engineered to hold a small amount of electric charge (a few electrons) that is controlled by external gate and may hence be considered as tunable artificial atoms.
