Self-assembly Monte Carlo reveals localized entanglement in giant polymer melts

Enrico Fornasa, Francesco Slongo, Cristian Micheletti

Topological entanglements are central to understanding and predicting the properties of polymer melts. Yet, they make equilibrium sampling computationally challenging, as decorrela…

Geometrical entanglement and alignment regulate self-organization in active ring polymer suspensions

Juan Pablo Miranda, Emanuele Locatelli, Cristian Micheletti +2

We study the emerging self-organization in active ring suspensions, focusing on how the rings' orientational order and geometric entanglement vary with density and spatial confinem…

Computing Canonical Averages with Quantum and Classical Optimizers: Thermodynamic Reweighting for QUBO Models of Physical Systems

Francesco Slongo, Cristian Micheletti

We present a general method to compute canonical averages for physical models sampled via quantum or classical quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO). First, we introdu…

Protein Design by Integrating Machine Learning with Quantum Annealing and Quantum-inspired Optimization

Veronica Panizza, Philipp Hauke, Cristian Micheletti +1

The protein design problem involves finding polypeptide sequences folding into a given threedimensional structure. Its rigorous algorithmic solution is computationally demanding, i…

Shape and Size Tunability of Sheets of Interlocked Ring Copolymers

Juan Luengo-Márquez, Salvatore Assenza, Cristian Micheletti

Mechanically bonded membranes of interlocked ring polymers are a significant generalization of conventional elastic sheets, where connectivity is provided by covalent bonding, and…

Field-controlled columnar and planar patterning of cholesteric colloids

Giuseppe D'Adamo, D. Marenduzzo, C. Micheletti +1

We study how dispersions of colloidal particles in a cholesteric liquid crystal behave under a time-dependent electric field. By controlling the amplitude and shape of the applied…

Numerical study of linear and circular model DNA chains confined in a slit: metric and topological properties

C. Micheletti, E. Orlandini

Advanced Monte Carlo simulations are used to study the effect of nano-slit confinement on metric and topological properties of model DNA chains. We consider both linear and circula…
