It has been more than 20 years since Deutsch and Hayden proved the locality of quantum theory, using the Heisenberg picture of quantum computational networks. Of course, locality holds even in the face of entanglement and Bell’s theorem. Today, most researchers in quantum foundations are still convinced not only that a local description of quantum systems has not yet been provided, but that...

These last decades have witnessed an explosion of data collection and diffusion in all fields of human society. In many scientific fields researchers are becoming aware of a big data problem and of the need to manage it properly, combining the tools offered by statistics, computer, data science and informatics. This is particularly true for geo-located data, which can be collected in a...

With the environmental considerations being at the heart of the decade, and the energy industry being regarded as a negative contributor, more environmentally friendly ways to power generation are being studied. However, fossil energies are still a major contributor to power generation, and greener substitutes face a hard time to be commercialised at big scale. Natural gas, a fossil energy...

We are in need of another attitude that combines the motivational aspect of sympathy with a more cognitive component that enables us to understand others. In this thesis, I argue that availability, a concept ...
