The fundamental unit of chromatin, the nucleosome, consists of ~147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer composed of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. These nucleosomes are connected by linker DNA, forming a “beads-on-a-string” structure that enables efficient packaging of the genome.<br>\r\nBeyond structural compaction, nucleosomes play a central role in regulating genome function. They can restrict access to DNA and act as barriers to essential processes such as transcription, replication, and repair. At the same time, nucleosomes serve as key epigenetic platforms, where histone modifications and histone variants modulate chromatin structure and dynamics to control gene activity.<br>\r\nTo better understand these regulatory mechanisms, we employ biochemical and structural approaches to investigate nucleosome structure and dynamics. Our studies aim to elucidate how structural transitions of nucleosomes influence DNA accessibility and ultimately govern genomic regulation. I will present our recent structural and biochemical insights and discuss their implications for understanding nucleosome-mediated genome regulation.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio:</strong><br>\r\nHitoshi Kurumizaka is a Professor at the Institute for Quantitative Biosciences, The University of Tokyo, Japan.

The FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data principles [1] ensure that scientific data can be shared and reutilized, providing an efficient route for accumulating data and taking advantage of these powerful techniques. FAIR data management allows essential knowledge to be systematically extracted from data, accelerating discoveries and innovations across various domains [2]. Furthermore, open science is essential for the verifiability and reproducibility of results and has been a topic of major discussion over the last decade. In materials science, data-driven methodologies, coupled with the appropriate FAIR data management practices, are invaluable for the discovery of new materials due to the vast combinatorial space of chemical systems that emerge from the periodic table [3, 4]. Such methodologies have been successfully applied, e.g., to design and predict new materials with desired properties using ab-initio ground state simulations, i.e., data generated from Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations [5]. However, there remains a critical gap in replicating this success in the context of other simulation frameworks. <br>\r\nTheoretical spectroscopy and Green's function method simulations [6, 7], including data simulated using the GW approximation, Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT), the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE), Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT), and Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR), pose especially difficult challenges in the context of FAIR data management. These simulations not only involve extensive computational resources and produce large datasets with associated complex workflows but are also executed using a large variety of public and in-house simulation software. At the same time, these methodologies are essential for understanding excited state properties of complex materials; they are more accurate than DFT calculations and provide better comparisons with experimental results since they incorporate excited states and electronic correlation effects in a more consistent manner [8]. <br>\r\nThere has recently been a number of individual efforts to improve the accessibility of data produced by theoretical spectroscopy and Green’s function methods through the usage of publicly accessible databases. For example, the Computational Materials Repository (CMR) [9] contains several individual databases, amongst which the Computational 2D Materials Database (C2DB) [10] contains GW and BSE data for a specific set of parameters and properties. The MaterialsCloud [11] database has some individual datasets published for these methodologies, however there is not a clear data structure for them. The NIST-JARVIS [12] database has a specific app for BeyondDFT simulations with DMFT data, but only for a specific simulation code. By making datasets findable, these efforts aim to avoid redundant computations and thus build upon existing work more efficiently. While these efforts represent an important step in the right direction, they fall short of fully achieving their goal due to a continued lack of consistency (i.e., <em>interoperability</em>) between individual databases. Moreover, these self-managed databases typically lack the ability to store the complete provenance of the simulated workflow, which is essential to ensure reproducibility. <br>\r\nRecently, FAIRmat [13], a consortium of the German research data infrastructure (NFDI) association, was formed to construct a scalable data infrastructure for Materials Science that can be easily customized for individual communities. This infrastructure consists of a primary software and repository called NOMAD [14]—a free web-service that enables the organization, analysis, sharing, and publishing of materials science data. One of the tasks within FAIRmat’s scope is to build support for theoretical spectroscopy and Green’s function simulations within NOMAD. Support for several of these methodologies have now been successfully built, and there already exists over 10 000 entries in the NOMAD repository containing GW [15], BSE [16], and DMFT [17] data, along with the full provenance of the corresponding complex workflows. The next step to developing a FAIR data infrastructure for these methods is to tackle the interoperability problem.<br>\r\nInteroperability within this domain is extremely challenging due to the heterogeneous character of theoretical spectroscopy and Green’s function simulations. Consequently, the adoption of common structures (e.g., describing the Green’s function, the self-energy, or the dielectric function) is the key for improving interoperability. Thus, various members of the community, including method developers, materials and data scientists, and data management experts, must come together to reach a consensus on specific common data structures.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://cmr.fysik.dtu.dk/\" target=\"_blank\">[1] Computational Materials Repository (CMR) website</a><br>\r\n<a href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-48169-5\" target=\"_blank\">[2] S.

This is followed by the important notion of qualitative change in a biological systems, or bifurcation.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nStudents learn in particular about Hopf bifurcations or how a system can start or stop oscillating.

detector error models\" - Robin Blume-Kohout </strong><br>\r\nQuantum computing is rapidly transitioning from the “NISQ” paradigm in which circuits and gates are executed directly on physical qubits to a fault tolerant “FTQC” paradigm in which circuits and gates are executed on encoded, error-corrected logical qubits. We want to model errors in gates. Logic gates on physical qubits are modeled by process matrices, derived from theory or estimated from tomography. But describing logical gates on logical qubits demands a richer model — specifically, detector error models — that can describe QEC syndrome data. I’ll introduce detector error models and summarize three recent papers in which we show how to estimate detector error models from data [<a data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\" href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.14643\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.14643\">https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.14643</a>], how to simulate arbitrary small Markovian errors in Clifford circuits [<a data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"1\" href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.15128\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.15128\">https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.15128</a>], and how to generate detector error models from arbitrary circuit-level Markovian errors [<a data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"2\" href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.18457\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.18457\">https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.18457</a>].<br>\r\n<br>\r\n2. \"<strong>Randomized measurements for large-scale quantum experiments\" - </strong> <strong>Benoit Vermersch</strong><br>\r\nThe randomized measurements toolbox is now routinely used in quantum experiments to estimate fundamental quantum properties, such as entanglement [1].<br>\r\nWhile experimentalists appreciate the simplicity and robustness aspects of such measurement protocols, a challenge for theorists is to design strategies for overcoming statistical errors using \"cheap\" polynomial resources in system size.<br>\r\nIn this context, I will present recent upgrades to the randomized measurements toolbox that address this challenge for large-scale quantum states that are relevant to the field of quantum simulation. In particular, I will discuss efficient protocols for measuring entanglement [2] and performing state tomography [3]. <br>\r\n <br>\r\n[1] A. Elben, S. T. Flammia, H.-Y. Huang, R. Kueng, J.
