Finantial Mathematics and Supercomputing
Location: Santiago de Compostela
Description: “Financial mathematics and supercomputing” is a seminar whose aim is to present experiences of researchers in the field of quantitative finance, in which they will share their own experiences using supercomputing, as well as the challenges they face in the development of quality numerical simulation programs allowing them to minimize the effort and cost of software development and maintenance, maximizing the results of their R&D projects. This scientific seminar will be held at the same time as CESGAHack 3, a 5-day hackathon whose objective is to accelerate the execution of scientific applications of the participating teams. |

NGS and Supercomputing: life as a couple (II) & VII CBMSO NGS workshop
Location: UAM - Madrid
Description: Next Generation Sequencing technology needs to be intimately linked to supercomputing to be able to process and store all the massive generated data. In this workshop it will be presented how and where to archive NGS data, computational needs for small and medium research centers as well as for national infrastructures, how computing enterprises are moving to genomics and biomedicine, and some researchers will show their particular needs for their projects. |

First direct visualization of the square of the wave function of the hydrogen molecule
For the first time, physicists have developed a method to visually image the entanglement between electrons. As these correlations play a prominent role in determining a molecule's wave function—which describes the molecule's quantum state—the researchers then used the new method to produce the first images of the square of the two-electron wave function of a hydrogen (H2) molecule.
The results of this study were published in Nature Communications by German, Spanish, Russian and Australian researchers, led by Reinhard Dörner of the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main (Germany), and by Fernando Martín, from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). Fernando Martín has used RES resources since 2006. In this work, the research team has performed some calculations in Cibeles (CCC-UAM) and MareNostrum (BSC) supercomputers.

Guiding of relativistic electron beams by laser-driven magnetostatic fields
Efficient energy transport in dense matter by laser-driven relativistic electron beams is crucial in many applications including the study of warm dense matter, inertial confinement fusion, and ion acceleration by laser. A recent research, which counted with the participation of the RES user Javier Honrubia (ETSIAE-UPM), demonstrates the relativistic electron beam transporting efficiently its energy in dense plasma with an externally imposed strong magnetic field. The work, published in Nature Communications on 9th January 2018, is the result of an international collaboration involving researchers from University of Bordeaux, University of Osaka, Polytechnic University of Madrid, Ecole Polytechnique, University of Oxford, University of York and Technical University of Darmstadt.
