Talsma, Marit (author)The quantum internet improves upon the classical internet with several new possibilities. However, to create such a quantum internet, metropolitan hubs (for this research we will use an Entanglement Generation Switch - EGS - as hub) are needed to avoid a scaling problem when connecting all end nodes individually with one another. These EGSs...master thesis 2024

Rinauro, B. (author), Begovic, E. (author), Mauro, F. (author), Rosano, G. (author)The seaway trade market has expanded in the last years and container ship dimensions are constantly increasing for higher cargo capacity. In the early design stage, main dimensions are usually determined based on an existing ship database from which regression formulas are derived. In the present paper, a database of 260 non-sister container...journal article 2024

van der Jagt, T.F.W. (author), Jongbloed, G. (author), Vittorietti, M. (author)Consider an opaque medium that contains 3D particles. All particles are convex bodies of the same shape, but they vary in size. The particles are randomly positioned and oriented within the medium and cannot be observed directly. Taking a planar section of the medium we obtain a sample of observed 2D section profile areas of the intersected...journal article 2024

Li, G. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Traffic condition forecasting is fundamental for Intelligent Transportation Systems. Besides accuracy, many services require an estimate of uncertainty for each prediction. Uncertainty quantification must consider the inherent randomness in traffic dynamics, the so-called aleatoric uncertainty, and the additional distrust caused by data shortage...journal article 2024
