Tipología de las spin-offs en un contexto universitario: una propuesta de clasificación

[ES] En los últimos tiempos existe un énfasis creciente en la comercialización de la investigación universitaria a través de la creación de empresas (spin-offs). Ahora bien, los fenómenos que el concepto de spin-off universitaria trata de abarcar no son homogéneos. Por esta razón, parece conveniente dilucidar las múltiples realidades que abarca organizándolas mediante tipologías.

Pumped double quantum dot with spin-orbit coupling

We study driven by an external electric field quantum orbital and spin dynamics of electron in a one-dimensional double quantum dot with spin-orbit coupling. Two types of external perturbation are considered: a periodic field at the Zeeman frequency and a single half-period pulse. Spin-orbit coupling leads to a nontrivial evolution in the spin and orbital channels and to a strongly spin-dependent probability density distribution. Both the interdot tunneling and the driven motion contribute into the spin evolution. These results can be important for the design of the spin manipulation schemes in semiconductor nanostructures.

Academic spin-offs incubation strategies: the case of the Andalusian region

[EN] The objective of this paper is to analyze the incubation strategies developed in the universities of Andalusia, a relatively low-income region of Spain, to promote the creation of university spin-offs. These strategies are also compared to the incubation models noted in the literature. The performance of the university spin-offs created and its relation to the incubation strategies developed by the university are also analysed. The analysis is based on data from a survey of nine public universities that carry out strategies for the promotion of university spin-offs. The result of the analysis shows that university spin-off incubation strategies in Andalusia present specific characteristics not covered by certain models that are well-known in the literature on innovation. Then, a new stage in the process of the university spin-off incubation is proposed. We consider it to be a pre-strategic stage to the academic spin-off incubation strategies. The analysis also finds certain environmental factors associated to those spin-offs promoted by Andalusian universities that achieve the highest level of performance. This result suggests that previous to making any decision involving investment into developing incubation strategies, universities should gauge whether they have sufficient resources and the possibilities of connecting with a Technology Park.

Digital Quantum Simulation of Spin Models with Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics

Systems of interacting quantum spins show a rich spectrum of quantum phases and display interesting many-body dynamics. Computing characteristics of even small systems on conventional computers poses significant challenges. A quantum simulator has the potential to outperform standard computers in calculating the evolution of complex quantum systems. Here, we perform a digital quantum simulation of the paradigmatic Heisenberg and Ising interacting spin models using a two transmon-qubit circuit quantum electrodynamics setup. We make use of the exchange interaction naturally present in the simulator to construct a digital decomposition of the model-specific evolution and extract its full dynamics. This approach is universal and efficient, employing only resources that are polynomial in the number of spins, and indicates a path towards the controlled simulation of general spin dynamics in superconducting qubit platforms.

El riesgo de orientación en la inversión en spin-offs universitarias. ¿Existe? ¿Es posible identificarlo en los primeros años de vida?

[ES] Diversos estudios han mostrado evidencias de que las empresas creadas desde las universidades (spin-offs) presentan unas tasas de crecimiento menores que otros tipos de start-ups. Esto puede deberse en parte a que un porcentaje de ellas pueden estar orientadas a dar continuidad a proyectos de investigación en base a ayudas públicas, en lugar de a valorizar resultados de investigación en el mercado. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es contrastar si es posible diferenciar dos tipos de spin-offs en función de si están orientadas al mercado o no. Además, en segundo lugar, hemos tratado de comprobar si es posible identificar esta orientación desde las primeras fases de vida de las spin-offs, lo que afectaría al perfil de riesgo desde el punto de vista de los inversores. Para ello hemos utilizado una muestra de 20 spin-offs y se ha procedido a analizar tanto sus estados contables como las ayudas y subvenciones públicas obtenidas durante sus primeros cinco años de actividad. La metodología empleada ha sido el análisis de conglomerados. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que, si bien efectivamente un número significativo de spin-offs no parecen orientadas al mercado, esta diferenciación no puede inferirse de la información inicial económico financiera de la empresa. Este hecho puede dar lugar a un riesgo de orientación , definido como la imposibilidad por parte del inversor inicial de saber si existe una orientación o no al mercado de la spin-off.
