    Workshop 2025/2026

    This project investigates the dynamics of Measurement-Induced Phase Transitions (MIPT) within non-interacting free-fermionic systems, exploring the competition between unitary evolution, which drives information scrambling, and stochastic projective measurements, which induce disentanglement. By employing the Fermionic Gaussian State (FGS) formalism and Peschel’s trick, the simulation tracks...

    Workshop 2025/2026

    How interacting quantum systems relax toward equilibrium is a fundamental question in modern physics, especially when such systems are influenced by their surroundings. While isolated many-body systems can thermalize through their own interactions, realistic systems are often coupled to environments that introduce memory effects and modify their dynamics. Understanding how strong interactions...

    The recent observation of ferroelectricity in group III-nitride semiconductors containing rare earth, such as AlScN and AlYN, has opened the doors to a new generation of electronic devices. However, a few obstacles remain, such as the growth of quality crystals with the ferroelectric property and mitigating the leakage currents associated with nitrogen vacancies. In this work, the crystal...

    Gallium oxide (Ga$_2$O$_3$) is an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor with strong promise for high-voltage power devices and solar-blind UV photodetectors, but its practical deployment is constrained by low thermal conductivity and, most critically, the lack of reliable p-type doping. A common route around this limitation is heterointegration, where n-type Ga$_2$O$_3$ is combined with established...

    The Standard Model (SM) of particles physics is the best description of Nature at the most fundamental level we currently have. Nevertheless, it does not account for the dark matter content of the Universe, it does not explain the matter anti matter asymmetry observed, and, in its simplest form, does not account for neutrino masses. As such, and to try and solve some of these problems, one...

    Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strong interaction, responsible for binding quarks and gluons inside hadrons. In ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, such as those at the LHC, these constituents are liberated to form a hot, dense phase of deconfined matter — the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Jets, collimated sprays of hadrons produced by hard scattered partons, interact with...

    Abstract

    Luminescence dating estimates the time elapsed since a sample (e.g. sediment or ceramic) was last exposed to heat or sunlight by measuring its paleodose or absorbed dose and dose rate [1]. In the case of ceramics, it is also possible to infer the maximum temperature achieved during their production process [2]. Ceramic sherds collected on a surface survey in an unexcavated kiln...

    Workshop 2025/2026

    The measurement problem emerged in the late 1920s from the realization that the mathematical postulates of Quantum Mechanics, which entail unitarity and linearity, naturally lead to superpositions of macroscopic states. Some point out that it’s not clear how to interpret what an observation of such a state would be, while others state the problem lies in its being in tension with our...

    Workshop 2025/2026

    Monaural speech enhancement is the task of improving how clear and understandable speech sounds when it’s recorded in noisy, reverberant environments using only a single microphone. Traditional signal-processing methods depend on stochastic assumptions about how speech and noise behave, which makes them struggle in real-world situations where noise changes over time or the signal-to-noise...

    The Gallium Oxide (Ga₂O₃) is an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor with a strong potential usage on UV “solar-blind” photodetectors. This work’s objective is to create and investigate the controlled modification by ion implantation of Ga₂O₃/metal interfaces inserted in a Metal-Semiconductor-Metal (MSM) structure, to develop the previously mentioned devices to operate in different modes. These...
