In this document we can look at a CAPSTONE project between IST and the company unbabel with emphasis in the part of the project that I'm responsible for.
The WOK Project is a Capstone type of project, developed between Lisbon University's Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) and Faculty of Fine-Arts (FBAUL) Master Degree's final year, resulting in a final project report and master thesis. In...
The evolutionary origins of information transfer and honest signaling remains an open challenge for a vast plethora of research areas, from Philosophy and Theoretical Biology to the Physics of Complex Systems. An approach on this topic will be done, resorting to a combination of analytical tools. The first is game theory, with particular emphasis on signaling games for both costly and...
Quantum computers promise a framework to efficiently tackle problems that are intractable even to modern day supercomputers. This new type of computers harnesses properties of quantum of quantum physics, like access to a bigger computational space (thanks to the Hilbert space used to describe quantum phenomena), quantum entanglement and interference. These provide na unprecedented level of...
Black holes (BH) are the fundamental particles of gravity, in the framework of General Relativity. They are extremely simple objects and can host several fascinating phenomena. Amongst these is superradiance, a mechanism through which rotational energy can be extracted from BHs by bosonic fields. Such mechanisms can be used to explore our universe, looking for new types of matter beyond the...
The Search for Hidden Particles experiment is currently being prepared. Amongst other purposes, it will try to detect for the first time the direct decays of Hidden Sector particles to Standard Model ones. Amongst these, are Dark Photons and Heavy Neutral Leptons. I will be talking about the preparation for this experiment, and more specifically, the optimization of the selection of specific...
The Wigner function is one of the main 5 formulations of Quantum Mechanics. In this talk I will review the basics of this formulation and how the work of my Master's thesis fits into this framework.
