3. Descriptive and Predictive Modeling of Chaos in Cold Atom Physics using Explainable Deep Learning

Mr João Rodrigues (IST PIC2 Website Team)

Ultracold atom clouds have garnered significant attention for their intricate dynamics, which may exhibit chaotic behavior and remain without a comprehensive explanatory framework. This work explores these dynamics in a $^{85}$Rb cold atom cloud through the integration of explainable deep learning techniques, given the recent meteoric rise of artificial intelligence (AI). This is employed...

2. Probing Unification Scenarios with Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

Iuna Dreyer

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) is an observational cornerstone of the Hot Big Bang model and a sensitive probe of physics beyond it. Although some analytic approximations can be made, a fully consistent analysis must be done numerically, starting with the classic code by Kawano and leading to the recently developed PRyMordial, a publicly available Python code. An example of physics beyond the...

5. Real-Time Beam Monitoring Based on Cherenkov Effect for FLASH Radiotherapy

Gonçalo Machado Ribeiro (LIP)

In 2021, cancer was the second leading cause of death in the European Union, representing more than 20% of the total number of fatalities, according to Eurostat. Even though there are several treatment options, such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy, there is no single, fully effective treatment.
Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the most used therapies worldwide, accounting for more than...

4. Transport Through A Critical Magnetic Quantum Dot Away From Equilibrium

Tiago Jorge (Instituto Superior Técnico)

The last decades saw substantial progress in understanding the equilibrium phases and phase transitions of low-temperature quantum matter. These so-called quantum phase transitions host genuine quantum coherent phenomena that may display exotic properties and phase transitions whose universality classes differ from those of classical systems. However, certain systems — namely electronic...
