quantum metamaterials with integrated atomiclike arrays for quantum information processing

the key to realizing quantum systems that can implement quantum information processing is entanglement generation between many qubits for distributing entanglement strong interactions between localized qubits atoms and flying qubits photons have to be ensured the quantumscience community is currently searching for systems that offer enhanced lightmatter interaction as the efficiency of quantum operations in current stateoftheart systems is limited by the interaction strength and loss mechanisms which impede the generation of useful manybody entangled states we plan to address this challenge by creating quantum metamaterials from quantumemitter arrays as novel interfaces for generating atomphoton entanglement whereas most of the scientific effort focuses on coupling localized qubits to predesigned structures to enhance interaction ie cavities we plan to take a completely different approach building bottomup quantum optical metamaterials out of quantum particles we will achieve this by embedding siliconvacancycenter arrays integrated in a diamond chip which have shown to be top candidates for entanglement distributionwe will harness the enhanced collective response of the emitters to light and achieve a quantum response by coherently controlling the emitters internal degrees of freedom we will also access neverbeforeobserved longlived states which are ideal for quantum memory our vision is to implement a scalable quantum light source with many degrees of freedom that generates largescale atomphoton entanglement by employing quantum information protocols we developed our system can generate manybody entangled states applicable to oneway quantum computation our system unites major advantages for scalingup entanglement 1 highfidelity quantum control over photonic states 2 potential operationtime speedup by parallelizing photon control 3 quantum memory with longlived states 4 integration into nanophotonics
toolkit for adaptable resilient installations securing high quality drinking water

the revised eu drinking water directive promotes a risk assessment and risk management approach for securing drinking water supply in the context of climate change and increased pollution however this approach is challenged by insufficient information that is available to operators especially in real time on compounds and organisms of emerging concern such as pesticides pharmaceuticals disinfection byproducts heavy metals and pathogenic microorganisms we argue that if drinking water treatment could leverage novel technologies and design philosophies and more agile operational actions could be supported drinking water supply systems could become more adaptable and robust without expensive infrastructural investments in this context todrinq develops and tests a compendium of modular complementary innovative solutions the todrinq toolkit that provide new information and better support tools to operators and designers to adapt to short and longterm changes in water quality while obtaining high drinking water quality at the tap todrinq develops novel real time sensing and water quality monitoring technologies innovative treatment systems especially suitable for smallscalemodular adaptable treatment plants and interoperable decision tools that support resilient evidencebased treatment plant design and improved overall water system operational awareness and response the consortium is perfectly placed to achieve significant progress beyond the state of art based on a researchtechnology alliance of leading universities and research institutes and innovative technology developers including deep tech smes it is also ideally placed to maximise relevance and impact by grounding its innovations on diverse realworld cases through cocreation with five proactive water companies in the netherlands greece france switzerland and the czech republic and maximise outreach through the influential multistakeholder network water europe

imination reactions mimicking reversible histone kptms

nature makes use of covalent additions of functional groups to proteins for regulating essential processes like cellular signalling and protein foldingdegradation most of these posttranslational modifications ptms are enzymaticallyreversible with the coupled catalytic processes being fulfilled by antagonistic enzymes eg methylasedemethylase pair this dynamic behaviour allows for the correct metabolic equilibrium as an unbalanced ptmmachinery is indicative of some severe diseases such a complex autoregulated system is the result of millions of years of evolution that has allowed for highly efficient and siteselective functionalizations nevertheless selective covalent bond formation in a substrate with multiple competitive sites is an intricate endeavour in the absence of auxiliary enzymes or other sacrificial agents dynamic covalent chemistry could be a major asset for overcoming this research bottleneck as the reversible nature of the reactions involved can drive the functionalization to the most thermodynamically favoured sitemost proteins contain lys k residues with terminal amino groups suitable for derivatization in particular histone kptms are crucial for controlling gene expression with the most common modifications being acetylation and methylation the proposed work will explore the reversible modification of histones using aldehydes that contain within their structure the functional groups required for the recognition by biological readers for instance aldehydes with carboxylate and trimethylated ammonium groups will be examined to mimic naturally occurring ksuccinylation and ktrimethylation this approach is still unexploited due to the lability of imine bonds in physiological water however several important biological processes are governed by the formation of iminoiminium reversible bonds with pyridoxal5phosphate plp derivatives inferring that this sort of chemistry is possible in protein microenvironments
federalism and border management in greek antiquity

federation for peace in ancient greece is the title of a wellknown article published by jao larsen in 1944 classical philology 39 14562 as the world was being ravaged by war larsen wondered about the potential of federalism as a means of conflict resolution the subject of his study was federal organisations in a broad sense in ancient greece but the research clearly stemmed from a question that is today becoming increasingly topical can federal organisations limit or even eliminate intrafederal war the project febo federalism and border management in greek antiquity starts from the assumption that the question above which continues to be asked by scholars no longer makes sense despite romantic projections federalisation processes do not guarantee peaceful coexistence neither within the constituent federal organisations nor on their external borders this is true for both ancient greece and the contemporary world as far as ancient greece is concerned and perhaps not only ancient greece the question should focus rather on borders how did the greek federal states deal with the problem of internal intrafederal as well as external borders the aim of this project is to demonstrate that a greek federal states implemented precise border management policies
connecting resonances a decolonial intervention into sound studies by listening to the global south

the proposed project intends to create a fertile entry point into the history practice and aesthetics of sound media in south asia as a key area of the global south aiming to understand the unique auditory cultures and sonic sensibility of this underexplored area in the light of the transcultural confluence between global north and south such new knowledge fundamentally shifts the perspectives in sound studies and in a global media art history with a decolonial approach of colistening and exploring medial reciprocity mentored by leading sound scholar and theorist prof brandon labelle at the university of bergen and working with other institutional partners in norway and internationally the project reexamines a fundamental issue in the studies of modernity and globalisation concerned with media cultural encounters and technological transmissions between global north and south as a twoway process of postcolonial confluence the project is a first of its kind to research an ignored area of sound studies by putting south asian sound and media scholars artists and practitioners on the international platform making their work exposed to the wider global audience for a muchneeded critical engagement and equity in scholarship the project benefits the large pool of practitioners active in south asia whose work has often been neglected in the eurocentric field of critical media studies and media art history the project makes a sustained attempt to assess their work toward a new decolonial theory of sound media in the form of a book and other outputs aiming to address a number of critical issues in sound studies
covalent chiral functionalization of graphite for enantioselective applications

an object or a molecule is said to be chiral if it can be distinguished from its mirror image chirality plays an important role in many areas of chemistry biology and physics many chemical processes involving solid surfaces such as catalysis crystallization adsorption and so forth are sensitive to chirality thus surfaces are not fertile playground studying chirality but they can also be used to promote the separation of mirrorimage molecules ie enantiomers due to additional constraints created by the twodimensional 2d environment because of the reduced symmetry at the interface these constraints enhance the expression of molecular chirality allowing not only chiral molecules but also prochiral molecules to produce chiral superstructures even so recognition processes based on noncovalent interactions could be used to separate enantiomorphs in 2d systems this new method could be used to resolve racemic mixtures in this project nanoconfinement conditions created using scanning probe nanolithography will reveal how the shape and size of the confinement as well as the nanolithography process itself affect the chirality of onsurface crystallization processes robust chiral surfaces will be created using covalent functionalization of graphite and applied for enantioselective separation also bulk chiral graphitic materials will be synthesized and used as stationary phase in chiral chromatography surfchir will allow me to pursue a highly innovative research line in surface science providing me a perfect platform for my personal development in terms of research and training in a topic of key importance ie chirality and statetotheart imaging techniques this project will also allow me to strengthen my teamworking and leadership skills as well as widen my scientific network and collaborations in summary this msca grant will be a positive turning point in my academic career towards scientific excellence
towards a sociology of loss disposals and deadends in lineages of social innovation and change

this study aims to provide a new understanding of how losses disposals and deadends shape the direction of social change at moments of rupture and to develop a formal theory of social loss sociologists have shown that people respond to crises by reconfiguring cultural understandings narratives of self and social relationships however we have not paid sufficient attention to how what is disposed of shapes future pathways linloss will address this gap in the sociological imagination it will develop new explanations of how loss generates change at multiple intersecting societal scales in the transformation of cultural and institutional patterns across generations within changing configurations of relationships across genealogies and social networks and in the reconstruction of pasts and futures within biographies the research will be a comparative crossnational community study of two exurban districts in ireland and poland the main form of data collection will be mixed biographical interviews combining unstructured and formal elements connected within genealogical support networks the analysis will take place across two iterations a comparative analysis to trace the effects of breaks and losses within and between social lineages at multiple scales and a thematic analysis to identify how instances of loss are tied together by a common social pattern we live in unsettled times when it is essential that sociologists provide insights on how pathways of social loss and renewal lead to variations and resilience to new challenges for individuals families and communities if successful the study will make a significant contribution towards this goal it will deliver a methodological breakthrough in pioneering methods for the analysis of dynamic multiscalar social processes and will make a major theoretical contribution to scholarship on social change
