Laser cooling of a nanomechanical oscillator into its quantum ground state

…, TPM Alegre, AH Safavi-Naeini, JT Hill, A Krause… - Nature, 2011 - nature.com
The simple mechanical oscillator, canonically consisting of a coupled mass–spring system,
is used in a wide variety of sensitive measurements, including the detection of weak forces 1 …

Observation of quantum motion of a nanomechanical resonator

…, J Chan, JT Hill, TPM Alegre, A Krause… - Physical Review Letters, 2012 - APS
In this Letter we use resolved sideband laser cooling to cool a mesoscopic mechanical
resonator to near its quantum ground state (phonon occupancy 2.6±0.2), and observe the …

[HTML][HTML] LEAP-1, a novel highly disulfide-bonded human peptide, exhibits antimicrobial activity

A Krause, S Neitz, HJ Mägert, A Schulz… - FEBS letters, 2000 - Elsevier
We report the isolation and characterization of a novel human peptide with antimicrobial
activity, termed LEAP-1 (liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide). Using a mass spectrometric …

Human β‐defensin 4: a novel inducible peptide with a specific salt‐sensitive spectrum of antimicrobial activity

JRC García, A Krause, S Schulz… - The FASEB …, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
β‐Defensins are antibiotic peptides involved in host defense at the epithelial surface. Three
human β‐defensins (hBDs)‐‐hBD‐1, hBD‐2, and hBD‐3‐‐have been identified so far. We …

Identification of a novel, multifunctional β-defensin (human β-defensin 3) with specific antimicrobial activity: Its interaction with plasma membranes of Xenopus …

JR García, F Jaumann, S Schulz, A Krause… - Cell and tissue …, 2001 - Springer
Previous studies have shown the implication of β-defensins in host defense of the human
body. The human β-defensins 1 and 2 (hBD-1, hBD-2) have been isolated by biochemical …

Non-classical correlations between single photons and phonons from a mechanical oscillator

…, S Hong, RA Norte, JA Slater, J Shang, AG Krause… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Interfacing a single photon with another quantum system is a key capability in modern quantum
information science. It allows quantum states of matter, such as spin states of atoms 1 , 2 …

[PDF][PDF] Oncogenic cooperation between H-Twist and N-Myc overrides failsafe programs in cancer cells

…, E Garin, AC Jallas, V Combaret, A Krause… - Cancer cell, 2004 - cell.com
N-Myc oncogene amplification is a frequent event in neuroblastoma and is strongly correlated
with advanced disease stage and treatment failure. Similarly to c-Myc oncogenic activation…
