Yet how these changes influence the neuronal computations necessary for normal brain function are not well understood. To identify cellular mechanisms underlying the maturation of synaptic integration in interneurons, we combined patch-clamp recordings of excitatory inputs in mouse cerebellar stellate cells (SCs), three-dimensional reconstruction of SC morphology with excitatory synapse location, and biophysical modeling. We found that postnatal maturation of postsynaptic strength was homogeneously reduced along the somatodendritic axis, but dendritic integration was always sublinear. However, dendritic branching increased without changes in synapse density, leading to a substantial gain in distal inputs. Thus, changes in synapse distribution, rather than dendrite cable properties, are the dominant mechanism underlying the maturation of neuronal computation. These mechanisms favor the emergence of a spatially compartmentalized two-stage integration model promoting location-dependent integration within dendritic subunits."}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2050-084X"]},"file_date_updated":"2021-12-10T08:31:41Z","acknowledgement":"This study was supported by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR-13-BSV4-00166, to LC and DAD).

This paper presents Perturber, a web-based application that allows users to instantaneously explore how CNN activations and predictions evolve when a 3D input scene is interactively perturbed. Perturber offers a large variety of scene modifications, such as camera controls, lighting and shading effects, background modifications, object morphing, as well as adversarial attacks, to facilitate the discovery of potential vulnerabilities. Fine-tuned model versions can be directly compared for qualitative evaluation of their robustness. Case studies with machine learning experts have shown that Perturber helps users to quickly generate hypotheses about model vulnerabilities and to qualitatively compare model behavior. Using quantitative analyses, we could replicate users’ insights with other CNN architectures and input images, yielding new insights about the vulnerability of adversarially trained models."}],"arxiv":1,"type":"journal_article","isi":1,"year":"2021","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Preprint","doi":"10.1111/cgf.14418"},{"scopus_import":"1","year":"2021","isi":1,"type":"conference","doi":"10.1007/978-3-030-90453-1_14","oa_version":"Preprint","publication_status":"published","_id":"10407","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"external_id":{"isi":["000728364000014"]},"project":[{"call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"682815","_id":"258AA5B2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Teaching Old Crypto New Tricks"}],"ec_funded":1,"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Digital hardware Trojans are integrated circuits whose implementation differ from the specification in an arbitrary and malicious way. For example, the circuit can differ from its specified input/output behavior after some fixed number of queries (known as “time bombs”) or on some particular input (known as “cheat codes”). To detect such Trojans, countermeasures using multiparty computation (MPC) or verifiable computation (VC) have been proposed. On a high level, to realize a circuit with specification   F  one has more sophisticated circuits   F⋄  manufactured (where   F⋄  specifies a MPC or VC of   F ), and then embeds these   F⋄ ’s into a master circuit which must be trusted but is relatively simple compared to   F . Those solutions impose a significant overhead as   F⋄  is much more complex than   F , also the master circuits are not exactly trivial. In this work, we show that in restricted settings, where   F  has no evolving state and is queried on independent inputs, we can achieve a relaxed security notion using very simple constructions. In particular, we do not change the specification of the circuit at all (i.e.,   F=F⋄ ). Moreover the master circuit basically just queries a subset of its manufactured circuits and checks if they’re all the same. The security we achieve guarantees that, if the manufactured circuits are initially tested on up to T inputs, the master circuit will catch Trojans that try to deviate on significantly more than a 1/T fraction of the inputs. This bound is optimal for the type of construction considered, and we provably achieve it using a construction where 12 instantiations of   F  need to be embedded into the master. We also discuss an extremely simple construction with just 2 instantiations for which we conjecture that it already achieves the optimal bound."}],"article_processing_charge":"No","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1611-3349"],"isbn":["9-783-0309-0452-4"],"issn":["0302-9743"]},"conference":{"name":"TCC: Theory of Cryptography Conference","start_date":"2021-11-08","location":"Raleigh, NC, United States","end_date":"2021-11-11"},"date_updated":"2023-08-14T13:07:46Z","citation":{"chicago":"Chakraborty, Suvradip, Stefan Dziembowski, Małgorzata Gałązka, Tomasz Lizurej, Krzysztof Z Pietrzak, and Michelle X Yeo. “Trojan-Resilience without Cryptography,” 13043:397–428.

Applications include multicast encryption protocols like LKH (Logical Key Hierarchies) or group messaging like the current IETF proposal TreeKEM. A key tree is a (typically balanced) binary tree, where each node is identified with a key: leaf nodes hold users’ secret keys while the root is the shared group key. For a group of size N, each user just holds   log(N)  keys (the keys on the path from its leaf to the root) and its entire key material can be rotated by broadcasting   2log(N)  ciphertexts (encrypting each fresh key on the path under the keys of its parents). In this work we consider the natural setting where we have many groups with partially overlapping sets of users, and ask if we can find solutions where the cost of rotating a key is better than in the trivial one where we have a separate key tree for each group. We show that in an asymptotic setting (where the number m of groups is fixed while the number N of users grows) there exist more general key graphs whose cost converges to the cost of a single group, thus saving a factor linear in the number of groups over the trivial solution. As our asymptotic “solution” converges very slowly and performs poorly on concrete examples, we propose an algorithm that uses a natural heuristic to compute a key graph for any given group structure. Our algorithm combines two greedy algorithms, and is thus very efficient: it first converts the group structure into a “lattice graph”, which is then turned into a key graph by repeatedly applying the algorithm for constructing a Huffman code. To better understand how far our proposal is from an optimal solution, we prove lower bounds on the update cost of continuous group-key agreement and multicast encryption in a symbolic model admitting (asymmetric) encryption, pseudorandom generators, and secret sharing as building blocks."}],"ec_funded":1,"publication_identifier":{"eisbn":["978-3-030-90456-2"],"issn":["0302-9743"],"eissn":["1611-3349"],"isbn":["9-783-0309-0455-5"]},"article_processing_charge":"No","acknowledgement":"B.

A broad theoretical framework was introduced by Jafargholi et al. [Crypto’17] for this purpose. In this paper we initiate the study of lower bounds on loss in adaptive security for certain cryptographic protocols considered in the framework. We prove lower bounds that almost match the upper bounds (proven using the framework) for proxy re-encryption, prefix-constrained PRFs and generalized selective decryption, a security game that captures the security of certain group messaging and broadcast encryption schemes. Those primitives have in common that their security game involves an underlying graph that can be adaptively built by the adversary. Some of our lower bounds only apply to a restricted class of black-box reductions which we term “oblivious” (the existing upper bounds are of this restricted type), some apply to the broader but still restricted class of non-rewinding reductions, while our lower bound for proxy re-encryption applies to all black-box reductions. The fact that some of our lower bounds seem to crucially rely on obliviousness or at least a non-rewinding reduction hints to the exciting possibility that the existing upper bounds can be improved by using more sophisticated reductions. Our main conceptual contribution is a two-player multi-stage game called the Builder-Pebbler Game. We can translate bounds on the winning probabilities for various instantiations of this game into cryptographic lower bounds for the above-mentioned primitives using oracle separation techniques."}],"article_processing_charge":"No","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"acknowledgement":"C.

Lexicographic ranking functions provide a sound and practical approach for termination of non-probabilistic programs, and their extension to probabilistic programs is achieved via lexicographic ranking supermartingales (LexRSMs). However, LexRSMs introduced in the previous work have a limitation that impedes their automation: all of their components have to be non-negative in all reachable states. This might result in LexRSM not existing even for simple terminating programs. Our contributions are twofold: First, we introduce a generalization of LexRSMs which allows for some components to be negative. This standard feature of non-probabilistic termination proofs was hitherto not known to be sound in the probabilistic setting, as the soundness proof requires a careful analysis of the underlying stochastic process. Second, we present polynomial-time algorithms using our generalized LexRSMs for proving a.s. termination in broad classes of linear-arithmetic programs.","lang":"eng"}],"ec_funded":1,"arxiv":1,"type":"conference","isi":1,"year":"2021","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Preprint","doi":"10.1007/978-3-030-90870-6_33"},{"doi":"10.15479/at:ista:10422","degree_awarded":"MS","supervisor":[{"full_name":"Goodrich, Carl Peter","id":"EB352CD2-F68A-11E9-89C5-A432E6697425","first_name":"Carl Peter","orcid":"0000-0002-1307-5074","last_name":"Goodrich"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","month":"12","date_created":"2021-12-07T10:48:06Z","date_published":"2021-12-07T00:00:00Z","oa_version":"Published Version","year":"2021","type":"dissertation","date_updated":"2023-09-07T13:34:12Z","day":"07","citation":{"ista":"Piankov A. 2021.

However, they will find out that some approaches can exist only conceptually without high chances to become practically useful. It seems that a numerical technique called automatic differentiation together with increasing supply of computational accelerators will soon shift many methods of the material design from the category ”unimaginable” to the category ”expensive but possible”. Approach we suggest is not an exception. Our overall goal is to have an efficient and generalizable approach allowing to solve inverse design problems. In this thesis we scratch its surface. We consider jammed systems of identical particles. And ask ourselves how the shape of those particles (or the parameters codifying it) may affect mechanical properties of the system. An indispensable part of reaching the answer is an appropriate particle parametrization. We come up with a simple, yet generalizable and purposeful scheme for it. Using our generalizable shape parameterization, we simulate the formation of a solid composed of pentagonal-like particles and measure anisotropy in the resulting elastic response. Through automatic differentiation techniques, we directly connect the shape parameters with the elastic response. Interestingly, for our system we find that less isotropic particles lead to a more isotropic elastic response. Together with other results known about our method it seems that it can be successfully generalized for different inverse design problems.","lang":"eng"}],"alternative_title":["ISTA Master's Thesis"],"article_processing_charge":"No","author":[{"full_name":"Piankov, Anton","id":"865E3C26-AA8C-11E9-A409-C4C4E5697425","first_name":"Anton","last_name":"Piankov"}],"file_date_updated":"2022-03-10T12:10:25Z","oa":1,"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2791-4585"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"10422","publication_status":"published","ddc":["530"],"user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"CaGo"}],"publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria"},{"project":[{"name":"Elastic Coordination for Scalable Machine Learning","_id":"268A44D6-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"805223"}],"user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"DaAl"}],"ddc":["000"],"publication_status":"published","_id":"10429","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2663-337X"]},"file_date_updated":"2022-03-28T12:55:12Z","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"article_processing_charge":"No","abstract":[{"text":"The scalability of concurrent data structures and distributed algorithms strongly depends on\r\nreducing the contention for shared resources and the costs of synchronization and communication. We show how such cost reductions can be attained by relaxing the strict consistency conditions required by sequential implementations. In the first part of the thesis, we consider relaxation in the context of concurrent data structures. Specifically, in data structures \r\nsuch as priority queues, imposing strong semantics renders scalability impossible, since a correct implementation of the remove operation should return only the element with highest priority. Intuitively, attempting to invoke remove operations concurrently  creates a race condition. This bottleneck  can be circumvented by relaxing semantics of the affected data structure, thus allowing removal of the elements which are no longer required to have the highest priority. We prove that the randomized implementations of relaxed data structures provide provable guarantees on the priority of the removed elements even under concurrency. Additionally, we show that in some cases the relaxed data structures can be used to scale the classical algorithms which are usually implemented with the exact ones. In the second part, we study parallel variants of the  stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm, which distribute computation  among the multiple processors, thus reducing the running time. Unfortunately, in order for standard parallel SGD to succeed, each processor has to maintain a local copy of the necessary model parameter, which is identical to the local copies of other processors; the overheads from this perfect consistency in terms of communication and synchronization can negate the speedup gained by distributing the computation. We show that the consistency conditions required by SGD can be  relaxed, allowing the algorithm to be more flexible in terms of tolerating quantized communication, asynchrony, or even crash faults, while its convergence remains asymptotically the same.","lang":"eng"}],"ec_funded":1,"year":"2021","type":"dissertation","oa_version":"Published Version","supervisor":[{"last_name":"Alistarh","orcid":"0000-0003-3650-940X","first_name":"Dan-Adrian","id":"4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Alistarh, Dan-Adrian"}],"doi":"10.15479/at:ista:10429","publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","page":"132","oa":1,"author":[{"id":"3279A00C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Nadiradze, Giorgi","orcid":"0000-0001-5634-0731","last_name":"Nadiradze","first_name":"Giorgi"}],"title":"On achieving scalability through relaxation","status":"public","file":[{"checksum":"6bf14e9a523387328f016c0689f5e10e","date_updated":"2021-12-09T17:47:49Z","success":1,"file_name":"Thesis_Final_09_12_2021.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","file_size":2370859,"file_id":"10436","creator":"gnadirad","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2021-12-09T17:47:49Z"},{"checksum":"914d6c5ca86bd0add471971a8f4c4341","file_name":"Thesis_Final_09_12_2021.zip","date_updated":"2022-03-28T12:55:12Z","access_level":"closed","content_type":"application/zip","date_created":"2021-12-09T17:47:49Z","file_id":"10437","creator":"gnadirad","relation":"source_file","file_size":2596924}],"day":"09","citation":{"mla":"Nadiradze, Giorgi. <i>On Achieving Scalability through Relaxation</i>.

Most of these models are trained employing variants of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) based optimization, but most methods involve some type of consistency relaxation relative to sequential SGD, to mitigate its large communication or synchronization costs at scale. In this paper, we introduce a general consistency condition covering communication-reduced and asynchronous distributed SGD implementations. Our framework, called elastic consistency, decouples the system-specific aspects of the implementation from the SGD convergence requirements, giving a general way to obtain convergence bounds for a wide variety of distributed SGD methods used in practice. Elastic consistency can be used to re-derive or improve several previous convergence bounds in message-passing and shared-memory settings, but also to analyze new models and distribution schemes. As a direct application, we propose and analyze a new synchronization-avoiding scheduling scheme for distributed SGD, and show that it can be used to efficiently train deep convolutional models for image classification."}],"department":[{"_id":"DaAl"}],"user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","project":[{"name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships","grant_number":"754411","call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"name":"Elastic Coordination for Scalable Machine Learning","_id":"268A44D6-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"805223","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2001.05918"]},"_id":"10432","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","oa_version":"Published Version","arxiv":1,"type":"conference","year":"2021"},{"related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","id":"10429","relation":"dissertation_contains"}]},"conference":{"name":"NeurIPS: Neural Information Processing Systems","end_date":"2021-12-14","start_date":"2021-12-06","location":"Sydney, Australia"},"date_updated":"2023-10-17T11:48:56Z","citation":{"mla":"Nadiradze, Giorgi, et al. “Asynchronous Decentralized SGD with Quantized and Local Updates.” <i>35th Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems</i>, Neural Information Processing Systems Foundation, 2021.","ama":"Nadiradze G, Sabour A, Davies P, Li S, Alistarh D-A.

To this end, several communication-reduction techniques, such as non-blocking communication, quantization, and local steps, have been explored in the decentralized setting. Due to the complexity of analyzing optimization in such a relaxed setting, this line of work often assumes \\emph{global} communication rounds, which require additional synchronization. In this paper, we consider decentralized optimization in the simpler, but harder to analyze, \\emph{asynchronous gossip} model, in which communication occurs in discrete, randomly chosen pairings among nodes. Perhaps surprisingly, we show that a variant of SGD called \\emph{SwarmSGD} still converges in this setting, even if \\emph{non-blocking communication}, \\emph{quantization}, and \\emph{local steps} are all applied \\emph{in conjunction}, and even if the node data distributions and underlying graph topology are both \\emph{heterogenous}. Our analysis is based on a new connection with multi-dimensional load-balancing processes. We implement this algorithm and deploy it in a super-computing environment, showing that it can outperform previous decentralized methods in terms of end-to-end training time, and that it can even rival carefully-tuned large-batch SGD for certain tasks.","lang":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We gratefully acknowledge funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 805223 ScaleML).

This RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway preferentially targets euchromatic transposable elements. However, RdDM is thought to be recruited by methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me), a hallmark of heterochromatin. How RdDM is targeted to euchromatin despite an affinity for H3K9me is unclear. Here we show that loss of histone H1 enhances heterochromatic RdDM, preferentially at nucleosome linker DNA. Surprisingly, this does not require SHH1, the RdDM component that binds H3K9me. Furthermore, H3K9me is dispensable for RdDM, as is CG DNA methylation. Instead, we find that non-CG methylation is specifically associated with small RNA biogenesis, and without H1 small RNA production quantitatively expands to non-CG methylated loci. Our results demonstrate that H1 enforces the separation of euchromatic and heterochromatic DNA methylation pathways by excluding the small RNA-generating branch of RdDM from non-CG methylated heterochromatin."}],"date_updated":"2023-08-17T06:21:08Z","day":"01","citation":{"ieee":"J.

Recently, fullerene derivatives functionalized with ethylene glycol (EG) side chains have been showing important properties such as enhanced dielectric constants, facile doping and enhanced self-assembly capabilities. Here, we have prepared field-effect transistors using a series of these fullerene derivatives equipped with EG side chains of different lengths. Transport data show the beneficial effect of increasing the EG side chain. In order to understand the material properties, full structural determination of these fullerene derivatives has been achieved by coupling the X-ray data with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The increase in transport properties is paired with the formation of extended layered structures, efficient molecular packing and an increase in the crystallite alignment. The layer-like structure is composed of conducting layers, containing of closely packed C60 balls approaching the inter-distance of 1 nm, that are separated by well-defined EG layers, where the EG chains are rather splayed with the chain direction almost perpendicular to the layer normal. Such a layered structure appears highly ordered and highly aligned with the C60 planes oriented parallel to the substrate in the thin film configuration. The order inside the thin film increases with the EG chain length, allowing the systems to achieve mobilities as high as 0.053 cm2 V−1 s−1. Our work elucidates the structure of these interesting semiconducting organic molecules and shows that the synergistic use of X-ray structural analysis and MD simulations is a powerful tool to identify the structure of thin organic films for optoelectronic applications."}]},{"volume":17,"article_type":"original","has_accepted_license":"1","month":"12","date_published":"2021-12-01T00:00:00Z","date_created":"2021-12-12T23:01:27Z","date_updated":"2022-08-01T10:48:04Z","citation":{"chicago":"Bodova, Katarina, Eniko Szep, and Nicholas H Barton. “Dynamic Maximum Entropy Provides Accurate Approximation of Structured Population Dynamics.” <i>PLoS Computational Biology</i>.

Such models are often analytically and numerically intractable. We revisit a dynamic maximum entropy method that combines a static maximum entropy with a quasi-stationary approximation. This allows us to reduce stochastic non-equilibrium dynamics expressed by the Fokker-Planck equation to a simpler low-dimensional deterministic dynamics, without the need to track microscopic details. Although the method has been previously applied to a few (rather complicated) applications in population genetics, our main goal here is to explain and to better understand how the method works. We demonstrate the usefulness of the method for two widely studied stochastic problems, highlighting its accuracy in capturing important macroscopic quantities even in rapidly changing non-stationary conditions. For the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, the method recovers the exact dynamics whilst for a stochastic island model with migration from other habitats, the approximation retains high macroscopic accuracy under a wide range of scenarios in a dynamic environment."}],"article_processing_charge":"No","acknowledgement":"Computational resources for the study were provided by the Institute of Science and Technology, Austria.\r\nKB received funding from the Scientific Grant Agency of the Slovak Republic under the Grants Nos. 1/0755/19 and 1/0521/20.","file_date_updated":"2022-05-16T08:53:11Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1553-734X"],"eissn":["1553-7358"]},"_id":"10535","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","ddc":["570"],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","department":[{"_id":"NiBa"},{"_id":"GaTk"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2102.03669"],"pmid":["34851948"]}},{"intvolume":"        11","publication":"Frontiers in Oncology","publisher":"Frontiers","quality_controlled":"1","status":"public","article_number":"765151","title":"TGFβ signaling in myeloid cells promotes lung and liver metastasis through different mechanisms","author":[{"last_name":"Stefanescu","first_name":"Cristina","full_name":"Stefanescu, Cristina"},{"full_name":"Van Gogh, Merel","last_name":"Van Gogh","first_name":"Merel"},{"id":"3047D808-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Roblek, Marko","last_name":"Roblek","orcid":"0000-0001-9588-1389","first_name":"Marko"},{"first_name":"Mathias","last_name":"Heikenwalder","full_name":"Heikenwalder, Mathias"},{"full_name":"Borsig, Lubor","last_name":"Borsig","first_name":"Lubor"}],"oa":1,"date_updated":"2023-08-17T06:20:32Z","file":[{"checksum":"56cbac80e6891ce750511a30161b7792","date_updated":"2021-12-13T13:32:37Z","success":1,"file_name":"2021_Frontiers_Stefanescu.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","creator":"alisjak","relation":"main_file","file_id":"10539","file_size":9245199,"date_created":"2021-12-13T13:32:37Z"}],"day":"18","citation":{"ieee":"C.

Cancer progression is often associated with an enhanced recruitment of myeloid-derived cells to the tumor microenvironment. Here we show that functional TGFβ-signaling in myeloid cells is required for metastasis to the lungs and the liver. Myeloid-specific deletion of Tgfbr2 resulted in reduced spontaneous lung metastasis, which was associated with a reduction of proinflammatory cytokines in the metastatic microenvironment. Notably, CD8+ T cell depletion in myeloid-specific Tgfbr2-deficient mice rescued lung metastasis. Myeloid-specific Tgfbr2-deficiency resulted in reduced liver metastasis with an almost complete absence of myeloid cells within metastatic foci. On contrary, an accumulation of Tgfβ-responsive myeloid cells was associated with an increased recruitment of monocytes and granulocytes and higher proinflammatory cytokine levels in control mice. Monocytic cells isolated from metastatic livers of Tgfbr2-deficient mice showed increased polarization towards the M1 phenotype, Tnfα and Il-1β expression, reduced levels of M2 markers and reduced production of chemokines responsible for myeloid-cell recruitment. No significant differences in Tgfβ levels were observed at metastatic sites of any model. These data demonstrate that Tgfβ signaling in monocytic myeloid cells suppresses CD8+ T cell activity during lung metastasis, while these cells actively contribute to tumor growth during liver metastasis. Thus, myeloid cells modulate metastasis through different mechanisms in a tissue-specific manner.","lang":"eng"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","acknowledgement":"The authors acknowledge the assistance of the Laboratory Animal Services Center (LASC) – UZH, Center for Microscopy and Image Analysis, and the Flow Cytometry Center of the University of Zurich.","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2234-943X"]},"file_date_updated":"2021-12-13T13:32:37Z","scopus_import":"1","isi":1,"year":"2021","type":"journal_article","doi":"10.3389/fonc.2021.765151","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"pmid":1,"oa_version":"Published Version"},{"publisher":"Springer Nature","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.08224","open_access":"1"}],"quality_controlled":"1","publication":"Annales Henri Poincaré","title":"Bosonization of fermionic many-body dynamics","status":"public","oa":1,"author":[{"full_name":"Benedikter, Niels P","id":"3DE6C32A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-1071-6091","last_name":"Benedikter","first_name":"Niels P"},{"full_name":"Nam, Phan Thành","last_name":"Nam","first_name":"Phan Thành"},{"last_name":"Porta","first_name":"Marcello","full_name":"Porta, Marcello"},{"last_name":"Schlein","first_name":"Benjamin","full_name":"Schlein, Benjamin"},{"first_name":"Robert","last_name":"Seiringer","orcid":"0000-0002-6781-0521","id":"4AFD0470-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Seiringer, Robert"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Benedikter, Niels P, Phan Thành Nam, Marcello Porta, Benjamin Schlein, and Robert Seiringer. “Bosonization of Fermionic Many-Body Dynamics.” <i>Annales Henri Poincaré</i>.

Until now, many theoretical works studied the performance of quantum algorithms for models with a unique ground state. However, when the classical problem is in a so-called clustering phase, the ground state manifold is highly degenerate. As an example, we consider a 3-XORSAT model defined on simple hypergraphs. The degeneracy of classical ground state manifold translates into the emergence of an extensive number of Z2 symmetries, which remain intact even in the presence of a quantum transverse magnetic field. We establish a general duality approach that restricts the quantum problem to a given sector of conserved Z2 charges and use it to study how the outcome of the quantum adiabatic algorithm depends on the hypergraph geometry. We show that the tree hypergraph which corresponds to a classically solvable instance of the 3-XORSAT problem features a constant gap, whereas the closed hypergraph encounters a second-order phase transition with a gap vanishing as a power-law in the problem size. The duality developed in this work provides a practical tool for studies of quantum models with classically degenerate energy manifold and reveals potential connections between glasses and gauge theories."}],"ec_funded":1,"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2469-9934"],"issn":["2469-9926"]},"article_processing_charge":"No","acknowledgement":"We would like to thank S.
