Pasini, M. (author)A large-scale quantum network, where many nodes are connected via entanglement and can share and process quantum information, will allow applications that are now unattainable. While some are known, ranging from distributed quantum computing to enhanced quantum sensing and quantum communication, the full potential of such a fundamentally new...doctoral thesis 2024

Amrani, Khalil (author)The circular economy is an economic model in which resources are circulated in a closed loop by adopting the R-strategies (e.g. reuse, recycling, and reduce) to minimize waste and pollution. Repurposing vacant buildings, known as adaptive reuse, is in line with the principle of circular economy, as it contributes to the reuse of the built assets...master thesis 2024

Hussein, Abdelrahman (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), Kim, Byungki (author)In recent years, a new class of super saturated binary and ternary alloys have demonstrated the ability for the self-healing of creep-induced voids formed at the grain boundaries. However, a clear understanding of the parameters affecting the self-healing mechanism is still not yet complete. One of the main challenges is understanding the...journal article 2024

Simon, B.G. (author)Spin waves are the elementary excitations of magnetic materials. They are interesting because of their rich physics and potential role in low-dissipation information technology. To better understand spin-wave transport and explore new ways to control it, this thesis focuses on developing magnetic-imaging techniques based on the single spin of...doctoral thesis 2023

Mortensen, Isabella (author)Post-war shopping malls in the Netherlands are becoming increasingly vacant, which is reflected in the level of activity of the public spaces. These retail-oriented places are becoming less visited as the main reason to come here disappears. This presents a challenge in a compact and densely populated country with a high space demand. With the...master thesis 2023

Polshchykova, Zoya (author)In this thesis, gate set tomography (GST) has been conducted on the nitrogen vacancy center (NV). Gate set tomography is a protocol for characterization of logic operations (gates) on quantum computing processors. The NV’s electron served as a qubit. The quantum circuits were run both experimentally as well as on an NV-simulator. GST is...bachelor thesis 2022

Bonke, Noud (author)We introduce a method of designing NMR pulse sequences, with a specific focus toward complete decoupling of carbon-13 spin qubits coupled to a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. Using Average Hamiltonian Theory, we calculate different intermediate Hamiltonians corresponding to different rotations implemented by NMR pulses. Two novel pulse...bachelor thesis 2022
