CREF promotes original and high-impact lines of research, based on physical methods, but with a strong interdisciplinary character and in relation to the main problems of the modern knowledge society.
The CREF was born with a dual soul: a research centre and a historical museum. Its aim is to preserve and disseminate the memory of Enrico Fermi and to promote the dissemination and communication of scientific culture.
Higher education and projects for young researchers
PHERMIAC: Photonic High-Energy cosmic-ray Monitoring via Ising machines and Advanced Combinatorial optimization
Principal Investigator: Sapienza Università di Roma
Referente CREF: Fabrizio Coccetti
Code: 2022597MBS
The project aims to create an innovative device for applying ultrafast and energy-efficient photonic computation to high-energy physics. It will implement a photonic Ising machine for ultrafast parallel processing of millions of spins. This device will be optimized for monitoring and reconstructing detected tracks of cosmic muons and other elementary particles.
