molecular spins for quantum technology

defect spins in solids provide a promising platform to realize a range of quantum technologies recent advances demonstrated their basic functionalities as quantum network nodes yet the realization of a realscale quantum network requires solving outstanding challenges posed by the inhomogeneity of elementary systems and decoherence from environmental couplingsmspin aims to tackle these challenges employing a bottomup route a single molecule sets a compact nanoscopic stage to house an array of nuclear spins in atomically defined configurations accessing and controlling these spins will uncover the tremendous potential of molecules for quantum technology moreover the toolbox of organic chemistry allows producing identical molecules at large scales and finetuning their intrinsic and extrinsic environmentswith mspin i will push the frontiers of singlemolecule spectroscopy singlespin control and cavity quantum electrodynamics to fully exploit the potential of molecules for quantum technology the overarching goals are i detect and control single nuclear spins in a molecule and demonstrate for the first time a molecular quantum register ii achieve robust nuclear quantum memory hosted in a molecule through deterministic switching of hyperfine coupling and by harnessing the decoherencefree subspace provided by nuclear spin pairs iii realize an efficient moleculephoton interface through strongcoupling to a fabryprot microcavity and demonstrate the first moleculephoton entanglementthe success of mspin will open an exciting new field on controlling and exploiting spinphoton spinspin interactions at the submolecular scale the experimental mastery of these interactions developed through this proposal will not only shine new lights on spins in molecular physics and chemistry but also foster an intriguing range of applications in quantum communication computation and sensors with unprecedented submolecular resolution
train responsible ai learning society

the project proposal under the title trails acronym aims to help prepare the society for large progress that has been made in the field of artificial intelligence ai emerging ai tools that are already transforming our daytoday work and the impact that this research will have on our society as a whole although ai and machine learning have been used in wide areas of science research for decades the public has only recently become aware firsthand of their potential through open texttoimage models like dalle and midjourney and large language models like chatgpt until last 23 years the general public has mostly encountered the term ai in scifi movies and literature but the details of what it actually means were rarely covered in the general education thus for the general public ai research is one of the upcoming but great unknowns often accompanied with a deep misunderstanding of how it really works resulting sometimes in fears about machines taking over our jobs but also in warranted concerns about how ai tools will impact education as a part of 2year trail project year 1 train year 2 trailvalidate we aim to take the general public on a deep learning trip around topics related to ai the program of the year 1 train year will be focused around training and familiarizing the general public with the background of machine learning and ai historical perspective the science behind it what it entails with special attention given to big data side of it in terms of training models while the year 2 trail or validate year will focus more on emerging tools applications and integration of ai in our everyday lives
effect of linguistic experience on metacognition in language tasks and transfer to nonlinguistic behaviour

this project explores metacognitive monitoring the ability of individuals to track decisions cognitive states and behavior in uncertain situations in earlier studies i showed that basquespanish bilinguals outperform monolinguals in metacognitive efficiency in tasks that engage cognitive processes activated when we hear natural speech i suggested that bilinguals estimate the likelihood of making an error in language tasks better than monolinguals ie they have enhanced errormonitoring skills in language tasks however bilinguals do not represent a homogeneous population they differ in age of acquisition relative proficiency in their languages switching behavior and also in typological distance between languages in their inventory basque and spanish are typologically different languages i hypothesize the variety of typologically different structures presents additional cognitive challenges and increases speech processing load enhancing metacognition i will test that the modulatory effect of bilingualism should be more modest in those bilingual populations where languages are typologically closer and the variety of language structures to be processed is narrower i predict that exposure to more diverse phonological cues will enhance monitoring phonological tasks of any type irrespective of phonological properties in bilinguals native languages i will also explore whether this metacognitive enhancement will be transferred from phonological to syntactic tasks even if bilinguals languages have typologically different phonology but similar syntax finally i will explore if metacognitive enhancement in language tasks is transferred to nonlinguistic behavior in contemporary society where bilingualism is a norm rather than exception it is important to be aware to what extent metacognitive enhancement due to individual linguistic experience is transferred to nonlanguage behavior and influences decision making both at individual and group levels

ultra frequencystable laser via spectral hole burning in rareearth ion doped crystals

the ultrastablaserviashb project seeks to catch the currently elusive grand prize of time and frequency metrology a frequency source with a relative stability on the order of 1018 at 1 s the desirability of this goal is borne of the nearfuture redefinition of the si unit of time the second as optical atomic clocks surpass microwavefrequency atomic clocks in accuracy the switch to an optical definition of the second drives the metrology field to strive to the fundamental performance limit of optical clocks the quantum projection noise limit currently optical clock performance is limited by frequency fluctuations of the opticalcavitystabilized laser field which probes the atoms optical transition the optical lattice clocks located at syrte could reach their quantum projection limit if a probe laser with a sufficient frequency stability could be realizedthe project proposed here seeks develop an ultra frequency stable laser at syrte to reach this performance via a paradigm shift in laser stabilization away from optical cavity frequency references which themselves approach their fundamental limit brownian noise and toward a novel method laser stabilization via spectroscopy of rareearth ion doped crystals this is achieved through a technique called spectral hole burning shb where a spectral pattern is imprinted on the crystal at cryogenic temperatures by a prestabilized laser a spectral hole is burnt a probe beam then interacts with this spectral hole and the resulting dephasing of the probe beam provides the source for a control signal which allows us to actuate the probe laser stabilizing it to the narrow line of the rare earth ion early results in this young technique are extremely promising and its limits are yet undiscovered the result will impact not only time metrology but all fields which rely on ultrastabilized lasers such as gravitationalwave detection fundamental constant measurements and tests of general relativity
development of new sp3 ch carboxylation strategies via interrupted nicatalyzed chainwalking catalysis

while originally designed to control the topology of polymers catalytic chainwalking reactions have recently offered new vistas for forging carboncarbon bonds at previously unfunctionalized csp3h sites by formally translocating the metal catalyst throughout the alkyl sidechain of a substrate in particular nickel catalysis has positioned at the forefront of this emerging field due to its modular reactivity through one or twoelectron pathways nevertheless the chainwalking process is poorly understood in mechanistic terms being the nature of the active intermediates still subject of considerable speculation and with nii or niii species arbitrarily proposed with no supporting experimental evidencethis project will tackle the challenge of isolating and characterizing discrete nii and niii intermediates to test their reactivity in chainwalking scenarios control at ni disproportionationcomproportionation events and the use of alkyl carbon fragments with appendant carbonyl chelatingmotifs will materialize this goal by intramolecularly stabilizing the nickel complexes the knowledge acquired will be utilized for a regiodivergent chelationcontrolled carboxylation of weinreb amides with co2 delivering 14dicarbonyl motifs with two orthogonal molecular handles lastly the asymmetric variant of this transformation will strengthen future applications of this novel reactivity in de novo drug synthesis latestage functionalization approaches and radiolabelling assays
nation of mechanics animality and indigeneity in american automotive culture

the nomech project examines fiction by indigenous american authors of the late twentieth century for literary representations of animals automobiles and the natural environment nomech develops a novel approach to reading the road journey in american fiction a genre which has historically excluded indigenous writers by centring indigenous stories in which the environment is frequently presented as a character in and of itself in contrast to the colonial tendency to personify the cars and ignore the living nonhuman world under the wheels combining approaches from literary studies and the environmental humanities nomech explores the extent to which indigenous american authors present counternarratives to the colonial story of automobility in which human contact with the natural environment is defined by driving over it moving from a relationship based on dominance conquest and subjugation to one which places more emphasis on mutually beneficial ways of living with other animals and technology exploring fiction from 19602000 by authors such as leslie marmon silko laguna pueblo david seals huron sherman alexie spokanecoeur dalene while endeavouring to uncover lesserknown indigenous texts in the collections of kwecthe kim waiteisenberg native american literature collection amherst ma nomech seeks to answer the following research questions to what extent is humanitys relationship to the automobile reimagined in indigenous american fiction how did indigenous authors challenge the stereotype of technological ineptitude without compromising on traditional relationships to the environment and how does the symbolic reverence for indigenous ways of life in automotive culture obscure the very real violence against such populations the outcomes of the project include among others a publicfacing exhibition online and inperson at kwec

industrial wood european industrialisation as seen from the forests 18701914

inwood studies industrialisation through the most important preindustrial resource wood scholarship on industrialisation has concentrated on the introduction and spread of new energy sources and materials paying scant attention to the preexisting resources however available data shows that wood was fundamental in the key sectors driving industrialisation while its consumption increased during this processinwood analyses the role that wood played during industrialisation and the impact of industrialisation on the actors and sectors most involved in wood use with a focus on europe during the first globalisation 18701914 inspired by current debates on ecological crisis and energy transition the project pioneers an interdisciplinary and multiscale approach to analyse the links between the following interrelated issueseconomic dynamics on a macro scale the changes in wood consumption in relation to industrial demands but also the spread of alternative energy sources and materials the transformation triggered by industrial technology in the geography of wood flows and in the logistics of the wood supply chainsocial dynamics on a micro scale the impact of changes in the wood economy on the populations living close to the woodlands in both the areas that were central before industrialisation and those that became central because of it the choices made by actors involved in the exploitation of woodlands when faced with these developmentsecological dynamics on multiple scales the evolution of the european forest cover in terms of reforestation in some regions and deforestation in others the main qualitative changes in the forest landscape in terms of tree species composition age and densityinwood integrates sources and analytical methods to change the way scholars understand industrialisation and to provide the historical context for presentday debate about the role of forests in climate change mitigation and biodiversity preservation
the lives of real world data terra

realworld data rwd refer to routinely collected data relating to patients health status and the delivery of health care originating from a range of sources other than traditional clinical trials electronic health records patient registries or personal information collected from wearable devices are all examples of rwd the covid19 pandemic saw the expansive use of rwd governments used these data to monitor populations health while industry and drug regulators relied on rwd to assess the effectiveness of covid19 vaccines many of these rwd came from israel and its data repositories however constructing the realworld through data is not a simple task producing data takes work from database curators researchers or policymakers while it entails making decisions about what and who to include in the data to represent the realworld in other words producing rwd means representing and enacting versions of the realworld while creating populations taking israel as an empirical case study terra aims to crack open the concept of rwd combining a literature review and an ethnographic study terra has four objectives 1 to map the emergence of the concept of rwd 2 to develop an empirical analysis of the production curation uses and governance of rwd3 to build a conceptual framework to understand and theorize the making of population and value through rwd 4 to deliver a series of innovative dissemination events aimed at engaging the public and key stakeholders with rwd and its implications for practice as lives are being datafied through rwd we must critically investigate how such data are produced from individuals bodies specifically when data are understood to capture the realworld we must interrogate what and who is represented through these data because this shapes who can be treated and governed with what and in which ways
