The Hyperspin Machine in Nature Communications

in ,

Our colleagues Claudio Conti and Marcello Calvanese-Strinati have recently published a beautiful theoretical work showing how coupled parametric oscillators can simulate multidimensional continuous spin models. Read more on Nature Communications, 13 7248 (2022)

Abstract

From condensed matter to quantum chromodynamics, multidimensional spins are a fundamental paradigm, with a pivotal role in combinatorial optimization and machine learning. Machines formed by coupled parametric oscillators can simulate spin models, but only for Ising or low-dimensional spins.

Epidemic spreading under mutually independent intra- and inter- host pathogen evolution – Nature Communications

in ,

Stefano Boccaletti, researcher @ ISC – Firenze, coauthored an interesting work discussing how evolving pathogens impact the reproduction number and macroscopic dynamics of spreading processes. The article is also featured in  the Applied Physics and Mathematics Focus page selecting “the most interesting papers published in Nature Communications in the interdisciplinary areas where diverse approaches at the boundaries of physics, mathematics, materials science and engineering take place to create new research opportunities”

Epidemic spreading under mutually independent intra- and inter-host pathogen evolution, X.… Read the rest
