Time Evolution of a Device for Remote Detection on Atomic Spin Chains using Matrix Product States

In this thesis the matrix product state(MPS) formalism is applied to simulate a device created for remote detection in atomic spin chains. Although simulation of the full device quickly becomes infeasible for direct algorithms, MPS allowed for highly accurate simulations while requiring only modest computational resources. It has been verified...

Annualized hours: Comparing an exact optimization model with its approximation

In this thesis, we propose two mixed integer linear program formulations for an optimization problem that incorporates annualized hours: an exact one and an approximation. The objective of our model consists of three weighted parts: a part which minimizes the difference between working hours and contract hours for each employee per week, a part...

Simulation Environment for an Open-Ended Coaxial Probe and Visualisation of Permittivity Measurements

This thesis work focuses on the development of reference data and visualization software to implement a user friendly probe to image the electrical parameters (i.e., permittivity) of biological materials, such as the skin. The reference data is used for the creation of a lookup table that can be used to quickly derive the relative permittivity...
