la ricerca

Il CREF promuove linee di ricerca originali e di grande impatto, improntate ai metodi della fisica, ma con un forte carattere interdisciplinare e in relazione con i principali problemi della moderna società della conoscenza.

Open problems in quantum mechanics

the research The project consists of an integrated theoretical and experimental program aimed at addressing open problems in quantum mechanics and its unification with gravity. The research focuses on analyzing the spin-statistics connection and the spontaneous collapse of the wave function, employing advanced atomic physics techniques across a series of experiments that leverage cutting-edge technologies. […]

Radio and Hadrontherapy

the research The International Agency for Research on Cancer has estimated a 25% risk of tumor incidence in the European population. Cases are expected to rise, reaching 23.6 million new cancers per year by 2030, at a huge cost to the healthcare system and citizens. Prevention and early diagnosis remain essential tools, and nuclear imaging […]

Photonic Technologies and Artificial Intelligence

the research The project aims to develop new photonic systems primarily for the purpose of creating innovative optical computing machines capable of overcoming the limitations of traditional computing machines. The experimental activity explores the use of laser light and its interaction with complex photonic media to accelerate the solution of combinatorial optimization problems and to […]

Neuroscience and quantitative neuroimaging

the research The project studies the dynamics of brain function through quantitative experimental approaches based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), combined with computational models. Experimental activity focuses on investigating the association between cortical information processing, the energy consumption supporting it, and the microstructural substrate enabling its transmission. Project activities extend to functional dynamics induced by […]

The socio-economic impact and technological innovation of artificial intelligence

Head of Research Line la ricerca This project explores the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates computer science, network science, economics, and sociology. On one hand, we study the limitations and potential of AI to understand social, technological, and economic dynamics; on the other, we apply these models to […]

Innovation and predictive scenarios for sustainability
