  • A large portion of cancer patients worldwide receive radiation therapy during treatment. The interaction of ionizing radiation with biological tissues triggers a chain of chemical and biological events that end up with the death of the malignant cells.

  • Machine learning will define the 21st Century: from simple image classification to text generation and decision making, its impact on society will be nothing but immense. At present, the detailed mechanisms behind the power of AI still evade our understanding; growing evidence, however, suggests that it is possible to rationalise how deep learning works in terms that are very familiar to theoretical physicists, that is, the renormalisation group. The systematic, hierarchical coarsening of detailed information into increasingly simpler and more collective features is a cornerstone of modern physics, and it can be leveraged not only to make sense of machine learning’s baffling capabilities, but also and most importantly to steer its development. This workshop will explore the area where theoretical physics of soft and condensed matter and deep learning overlap, looking for novel and more powerful tools to model, investigate, and understand the world around us.

  • The workshop will bring together experts from nuclear physics, astrophysics, and cold atomic gases to develop an improved understanding of the physics of strongly interacting matter, with a particular focus on neutron stars. The main topics of the workshop will be microscopic calculations of the equation of state, insights from other systems such as cold atomic gases, observations of neutron stars and neutron star mergers, the physics of the neutron star crust, and experimental constraints on neutron-rich matter.

  • Quantum technology is a fast-developing field with a wide range of promising near-term applications, from quantum simulation of quantum many-body systems to hybrid quantum-classical algorithms. The aim of the Quantum Science Generation Workshop 2024 is to cover some of the most important aspects of those developments and provide an equilibrated up-to-date overview of the most active areas of research within this field. The workshop’s topics will include (i) optical and condensed matter platforms for quantum computing; (ii) quantum simulation of problems of interest for condensed matter, nuclear, high-energy, or gravitational physics; and (iii) hybrid quantum algorithms for optimization problems. The workshop is specifically addressed to young researchers at the PhD/PostDoc level, active in different areas of quantum science and technologies with the aim of promoting and initiating fruitful research and discussion.

  • Neutron stars are rich laboratories for physics, combining all four fundamental interactions and many phenomena associated with them under extreme conditions. One of the most intriguing questions is: what type of matter do we find in the core of such a compact object? One of the conceivable composition is a strangeness-dominated hadronic matter. However, the determination of the EOS of such neutral hadronic matter remains even after many decades of research one of the biggest challenges. Hadrons with strangeness embedded in the nuclear environment, hypernuclei, strange atoms, and multiparticle correlations are the most relevant terrestrial laboratories to approach the many-body aspect of the three-flavor strong interaction in the laboratory. The goal of the workshop is to assess the present status of the field, to agree upon future cutting-edge studies and to define the experimental objectives. The workshop will help to identify potential synergies between the different activities, which might also set the framework for new networking activities between researchers.
