INRAe & University Paris-SaclayOrganizer Department of Earth and Planetary SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Climate change is having an impact on agricultural productio...» Climate change is having an impact on agricultural production and food
security. Rising temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns and extreme
weather events can reduce crop yields, sometimes dramatically. However,
climate change can also offer new opportunities, by generating more
favorable climatic conditions for agricultural production in certain regions
that were previously less productive. In order to assess the positive and
negative impacts of climate change on agriculture and identify effective
adaptation strategies, scientists have produced massive amounts of data
during the last two decades, conducting local experiments in agricultural
plots and using models to simulate the effect of climate on crop yields. In
most cases, these data are not pooled together and are analyzed separately
by different groups of scientists to assess the effects of climate change at a
local level, without any attempt to upscale the results at a larger scale. Yet, if
brought together, these data represent a rich source of information that are
relevant to analyze the effect of climate across diverse environmental
conditions. The wealth of data available has led to the emergence of a new
type of scientific activity, involving the retrieval of all available data on a
given subject and their synthesis into more robust and generic results. In this
talk, I review the statistical methods available to synthesize data generated
in studies quantifying the effect of climate change on agriculture. I discuss
both the most classic methods - such as meta-analysis - and more recent
methods based on machine learning. In particular, I show how this approach
can be used to map the impact of climate change on a large scale (national,
continental and global) from local data. I illustrate these methods in several
case studies and present several research perspectives in this area. -

The advancement from classical to quantum computing is a product of our advancement from classical to quantum physics -- the more our understanding of the universe grows, so does our ability to use it for computation. A natural question that arises is, what will physics allow in the future? Can more advanced theories of physics increase our computational power, beyond quantum computing?
An active field of research in physics studies theoretical phenomena outside the scope of explainable quantum mechanics, that form when attempting to combine Quantum Mechanics (QM) with General Relativity (GR) into a unified theory of Quantum Gravity (QG). QG is known to present the possibility of a quantum superposition of causal structure and event orderings. In the literature of quantum information theory, this translates to a superposition of unitary evolution orders.
In this talk we will show a first example of a computational model based on models of QG, that provides an exponential speedup over standard quantum computation (under standard hardness assumptions). We define a model and complexity measure for a quantum computer that has the ability to generate a superposition of unitary evolution orders, and show that such computer is able to solve in polynomial time two well-studied problems in computer science: The Graph Isomorphism Problem and the Gap Closest Vector Problem, with gap O( n^{1.5} ).
The talk is based on https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.02937 .
