Excitation-Inhibition Balance in the Pathophysiology of Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. An EEG-Based Study

Led by Assistant Professor Louisa H. Smith, this workshop addresses the methodological challenges of analyzing time-varying exposures in pregnancy outcomes research through a causal inference framework.

Juan David Alvarez Cuartas:

Modern challenges in energy storage demand new paradigms beyond classical technologies. Quantum batteries (QBs) exploit coherence, superposition, and entanglement to enhance storage capacity and enable ultrafast charging, with recent work identifying superabsorption as a key mechanism.

Doctoral candidate Michael Haahr at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis "Multi-Scale Modelling of Magnetic Reconnection in the Solar Corona" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Computation is so central to physics knowledge production, it is difficult to imagine contemporary physics without computers for simulation, theory-building, experimental design, data collection, processing, machine learning and more. Despite its centrality, computation has historically only been weakly integrated into physic education. Moreover, where it has, computation has been constructed rather narrowly through the lens ofd numerical methods and simulation. A question arises: How do we create learning environments that incorporate computation in a way that corresponds to disciplinary practice?

On 12 September 2025, NORA.ai invites you to the next CuttingEdgeAI meeting, dedicated to the practical side of benchmarking in artificial intelligence.

C*-seminar by Roberto Conti (Sapienza Università di Roma)

QOMBINE seminar by Lyudmila Turowska (Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg)

The derived category of a Fano variety will often have a semiorthogonal decomposition consisting of a sequence of exceptional line bundles and a remaining subcategory, which we will call the Kuznetsov category. The categorical Torelli problem asks whether knowing this category up to exact equivalence is enough to determine the variety up to isomorphism. We will explain how a technique based on a computation of the Hochschild-Serre algebra of the category shows that the answer is yes in many cases, including many weighted hypersurface and a Veronese double cone. This is joint work with Xun Lin and Shizhuo Zhang.

Quantum technology (QT) is a rapidly emerging trend in society and industry. This reinforces the need for an educated workforce that can navigate these changes.  As a result, we are seeing the emergence of dedicated specializations and study programmes in quantum science and technology (QS&QT) worldwide.
