Optimal tracking strategies in a turbulent flow in Communication Physics

in News, Statistical Physics & Complexity, Uncategorized

ISC researcher, M. Cencini coauthored an interesting work recently published in Communications Physics, C. Calascibetta, L. Biferale, F. Borra, F. and M. Cencini, Optimal tracking strategies in a turbulent flow, Commun. Phys. 6, 256 (2023).

Abstract

Pursuing a drifting target in a turbulent flow is an extremely difficult task whenever the searcher has limited propulsion and maneuvering capabilities. Even in the case when the relative distance between pursuer and target stays below the turbulent dissipative scale, the chaotic nature of the trajectory of the target represents a formidable challenge.

Una scuola sull’intelligenza artificiale in fotonica

in outreach, Uncategorized

Creare “cervelli di luce” per macchine intelligenti più veloci, efficienti e “green” degli attuali computer che funzionano grazie ai chip con elettroni e semiconduttori.

L’idea, suggestiva sì, ma già molto concreta, tra scienza e mercato, viene discussa, in questi giorni al Corso “Machine Learning Photonics” organizzata dal Prof. Claudio Conti e dal Prof. Stefan Wabnitz.
