In this report, we present a discussion about different frameworks to perform precise higher-order computations for high-energy physics. These approaches implement novel strategies to deal with infrared and ultraviolet singularities in…
We investigate super-resolution methods for image reconstruction from data provided by a family of scanning instruments like the Herschel observatory. To do this, we constructed a model of the instrument that faithfully reflects the…
In this work, we review several results on development and application of incoherent version of GRAPE (Gradient Ascent Pulse Engineering) approach, inGRAPE, to optimization for open quantum systems driven by both coherent and incoherent…
The success of the experimental program at the Tevatron re-inforced the idea that precision physics at hadron colliders is desirable and, indeed, possible. The Tevatron data strongly suggests that one-loop computations in QCD describe hard…
Microlensing light curves are typically computed either by ray-shooting maps or by contour integration via Green's theorem. We present an improved version of the second method that includes a parabolic correction in Green's line integral.…
The new version 2.1 of the program SecDec is described, which can be used for the factorisation of poles and subsequent numerical evaluation of multi-loop integrals, in particular massive two-loop integrals. The program is not restricted to…
We establish a systematic way to calculate multiloop amplitudes of infrared safe massless models with Implicit Regularization (IR), with a direct cancelation of the fictitious mass introduced by the procedure. The ultraviolet content of…
The calculation of exclusive observables beyond the one-loop level requires elaborate techniques for the computation of multi-leg two-loop integrals. We discuss how the large number of different integrals appearing in actual two-loop…

We use the antenna subtraction method to isolate the mixed real-virtual infrared singularities present in gluonic scattering amplitudes at next-to-next-to-leading order. In a previous paper, we derived the subtraction term that rendered the…
We introduce a new and efficient numerical method for multicriterion optimal control and single criterion optimal control under integral constraints. The approach is based on extending the state space to include information on a "budget"…
Building on the open-loop algorithm we introduce a new method for the automated construction of one-loop amplitudes and their reduction to scalar integrals. The key idea is that the factorisation of one-loop integrands in a product of loop…
A method to isolate the poles of dimensionally regulated multi-loop integrals and to calculate the pole coefficients numerically is extended to be applicable to phase space integrals as well.
A formalism for the numerical integration of one- and two-loop integrals is presented. It is based on subtraction terms which remove the soft, collinear and some of the ultraviolet divergences from the integrand. The numerical integral is…
Inverse imaging problems rely on limited and indirect measurements, making reconstruction highly dependent on both regularization and sample locations. We introduce a novel greedy framework for the optimal selection of indirect measurements…
Modern applications of strong gravitational lensing require the ability to use precise and varied observational data to constrain complex lens models. I discuss two sets of computational methods for lensing calculations. The first is a new…
Proximal gradient methods are popular in sparse optimization as they are straightforward to implement. Nevertheless, they achieve biased solutions, requiring many iterations to converge. This work addresses these issues through a suitable…
Heading towards a full automation of next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections, one important ingredient is the analytical integration over the one-particle phase space of the unresolved particle that is necessary when adding the…
