realizing the promise of higherorder smt and superposition for interactive verification

proof assistants also called interactive theorem provers have a long history of being very tedious to use the situation has improved markedly in the past decade with the integration of firstorder automatic theorem provers as backends and recently there have been exciting developments for more expressive logics with the emergence of automatic provers based on optimized higherorder calculi the nekoka projects aim is to make higherorder smt and superposition a perfect fit for logical problems emerging from the verification of software and mathematics we will start by extending higherorder smt and superposition and implementing them in automatic provers to provide pushbutton proof automation for lemmas expressed in higherorder logics to reach end users we will integrate the automatic provers in interactive tools both generalpurpose proof assistants and software verification platforms as case studies we will use our own provers and integrations to formalize quantum information theory and verify a big data framework in collaboration with domain experts beyond providing representative case studies this will help build a user community around our tools and technologies in terms of scientific impact the improved higherorder smt and superposition calculi will substantially advance the art of higherorder automation and help reorient research in automated reasoning towards the needs of end users whether computer scientists or mathematicians our tools will outlive the project serving end users and continuing to be useful for future research at the societal level the project will herald a future in which automatic provers and proof assistants are routinely deployed in tandem to verify critical computing infrastructure and to formalize research in computer science and mathematics thereby leading to more trustworthy software and science
emergence in quantum physics

emergence is central to our understanding of the world it addresses the question of how did a seemingly unlimited diversity emerge from a small number of simple constituents ultimately emergence in physics is related to an inaccessibility of knowledge about the microscopic world out of which new phenomena are formed at a larger scale in quantum physics the renormalization group is a prominent example relating microscopic physics to emerging new phenomenathe main thrust in the research proposed here is to experimentally study in full detail emergence in the quantum world all the way from the microscopic physics of elementary atomic constituents to a hierarchy of effective models at large scales a central objective will be to verify emerging models probe the limits of their validity when do they break down and investigate how big a system has to be to show emergent phenomenaultracold atoms allow to implement and study complex interacting quantum many body systems in detail and powerful manipulation techniques combined with the ability to measure each atom with close to unit efficiency offers an unprecedented way to probe the whole path of emergence from micro to macro physics we will investigate three examples i emergence of quantum field theories as illustrated by the sinegordon model ii emergence of universality as the system forgets its initial conditions in the course of nonequilibrium evolution iii emergence of a hydrodynamic description in the nonequilibrium evolution of correlated quantum systems we envision robust verified emergent models to have numerous applications as quantum simulators ranging from solid state physics to aspects of physical system that are inaccessible for direct experiments moreover emergence coming from inaccessibility of knowledge about the microscopic world may ultimately lead to a natural bridge between quantum and classical

next generation glioma treatments using direct light therapy

glioma is an extremely lethal cancer due largely to the inaccessible nature of the brain and diffusion of cells from the tumour site these diffuse cells are usually too deeply embedded in the brain to safely remove by current means targeted reactive oxygen species ros generation is a promising form of glioma treatment to selectively eliminate glioma including diffuse cells however the only current means of targeted ros generation is photodynamic therapy pdt which generates ros using expensive and potentially toxic photosensitisers ps which are ineffective against distant diffused cells and introduce many treatment limitations gliolight proposes a novel alternative form of targeted ros generation direct light therapy dlt dlt uses 1267nm light to generate 1o2 species in glioma cells without dependency on a ps the removal of ps will revolutionise glioma treatment enabling novel treatment modalities to vastly improve efficacy earlier intervention options all at reduced cost and complexity however whilst the principles of dlt have been demonstrated little is known about how dlt achieves its anticancer effects or the extent of its therapeutic benefits leveraging decades of accumulated pdt knowledge and technology development gliolight will study dlt technology both independently and compared to pdt the effect of dlt on glioma and the brain focusing on immunogenicity will be studied to determine dlts efficacy safety and mechanisms of action novel ultrashort pulse usp light sources will be developed to maximise optical penetration and minimise safety risk ensuring dlt is suited for clinical adoption lastly the development of the preclinical gliolight delivery and sensing system pcgliodss ready for the next steps of clinical translation will bring dlt a leap closer to vastly improving glioma treatment in europe and worldwide

dual stimuliresponsive nanoparticles to achieve brain multidrugs delivery improving the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders

leading to disability and morbidity neurodegenerative disorders nds have a profound socioeconomic impact given the aging of the population they are raising remarkable concerns several active compounds for nds treatment showed promising results invitro but failed invivo due to unfavorable biodistribution and limited biocompatibility the nanocarriers nc proposed in the last decade have certainly improved brain delivery of active compounds however the limited bioavailability of the drug and biocompatibility issues make nds treatment still a hot topic in neuroscience with bravery i aim to achieve the spatiotemporal controlled drug release improving the bioavailability of neuroactive compounds in the brain without causing neurotoxicity to do so i propose to develop a novel biocompatible multidrug nc capable of efficiently targeting the brain and releasing the loaded drugs in a controlled manner in response to specific stimuli after intranasal administration the proposed nc has three fundamental features 1 it is mucoadhesive 2 it degrades in response to two specific stimuli that allow achieving a spatiotemporally controlled release of the carried drugs in the brain 3 both nc and products of its degradation are biocompatible thus limiting neurotoxicity the biocompatibility and biodistribution of the nc will be evaluated by invitro invivo and exvivo analysis as a proof of concept the carrier will be loaded with active compounds and the biological effect observed will be compared with the one achieved by the free drugs the project could have an immediate impact on nds treatment improving the biological efficacy of the antiprion protein drug used in this project as model drug such a versatile biocompatible multidrug nc will pave the way toward a new era of nds treatments with a remarkable impact on society and health care systems worldwide
smart dust batteries integrated with nearzeropower surveillance

the lack of an onchip power source providing uninterrupted energy impedes the progress of smart dust in moving from lablevel demonstrations to everyday applications tiny generators relying on external energy sources face spatial and temporal limitations batteries with adequate energy are not available in an area of less than 1 mm2 and the reasons for their absence are manifold mainstream battery architectures require either thick or tall electrodes created by etching into the wafer but it is very fiddly to deposit materials onto these electrodes without defects highcapacity materials such as lithium cobalt oxide sulfur and lithium metal are often excluded because onchip techniques to synthesize or stabilize such materials are missing moreover a lowpower monitor to provide precise information about the energy storage state and battery health is essential for real applications but unexplored so far these difficulties demand a paradigm shift in microbattery development to pursue novel approaches that offer energydense microbatteries integrable into microsystems therefore we propose a microorigami technology for onchip microbatteries using aqueous zinc battery chemistry together with embedded surveillance based on a nonvolatile redox transistor with nearzero power consumption smadbins is expected to bring advances in battery chemistry and materials and onchip energy production and management boosting research for microbattery and smart dust applications as was recently highlighted by the pi nature 2021 589 195 the pi has decisively contributed to the field of aqueous microbatteries and developed the smart dust battery concept together with his team in several publications however a smart dust battery has not been achieved yet therefore the main objective of this project is to develop the first smart dust battery embedded with a lowpower monitor which attains a footprint capacity of more than 10 mahcm2 within 1 mm2
