Symmetry-Guided Design of Quantum Couplers in Dirac materials: AA-Bilayer Graphene Coupler

We develop a theoretical framework for designing quantum couplers based on Dirac materials that can modulate the polarization of transmitted quasiparticles without significantly perturbing their propagation. We analyze in detail the conditions required for perfect transmission (Klein tunneling) together with controlled polarization transformation of the incoming states. We then discuss an explicit model of a quantum coupler composed of AA-stacked bilayer graphene nanoribbons with armchair edges and a localized interlayer interaction. Perfect transmission through the desired polarization channels is examined for both narrow and wide couplers. We show that the transmission of polarized states can be finely tuned by external fields.

Blind Friendly Maps: Tactile Maps for the Blind as a Part of the Public Map Portal (Mapy.cz)

Blind people can now use maps located at Mapy.cz, thanks to the long-standing joint efforts of the ELSA Center at the Czech Technical University in Prague, the Teiresias Center at Masaryk University, and the company Seznam.cz. Conventional map underlays are automatically adjusted so that they could be read through touch after being printed on microcapsule paper, which opens a whole new perspective in the use of tactile maps. Users may select an area of their choice in the Czech Republic (only within its boundaries, for the time being) and also the production of tactile maps, including the preparation of the map underlays, takes no more than several minutes.
