(author), Taminiau, T.H. (author), Sebastiano, F. (author), Babaie, M. (author)Color-center quantum bits (qubits), such as the Nitrogen-Vacancy center (NV) in diamond, have demonstrated entanglement between remote (>1.3km) qubits and excellent coherence times [1], all while operating at a few Kelvins. Compared to other qubit technologies typically operating at mK temperatures, the higher operating temperature of NVs...conference paper 2024

(author)Continuous rounds of quantum error correction (QEC) are essential to achieve faulttolerant quantum computers (QCs). In each QEC cycle, thousands of ancilla quantum bits (qubits) must be read out faster than the qubits' decoherence time (<<T2∗~120μs for spin qubits). To address this urgent need, several CMOS receivers operating at...conference paper 2024

Zhu, P. (author), Câmara, Arthur (author), Roy, N. (author), Maxwell, D.M. (author), Hauff, C. (author)Actively engaging learners with learning materials has been shown to be very important in the Search as Learning (SAL) setting. One active reading strategy relies on asking so-called adjunct questions, i.e., manually curated questions geared towards essential concepts of the target material. However, manual question creation is impractical...conference paper 2024

Cila, N. (author), Gonzalez Gonzalez, I. (author), Jacobs, Jan (author), Rozendaal, M.C. (author)Using HRI theory to inform robot development is an important, but difficult, endeavor. This paper explores the relationship between HRI theory and HRI practice through a design project on the development of design guidelines for human-robot communication together with a dairy farming robot manufacturer. The design guidelines, a type of...conference paper 2024

Mohabeddine, A.I. (author), Eshaghi, Cyrus (author), Correia, José (author), Castro, José Miguel (author)This paper presents the flexural cyclic behavior of I-shaped hot rolled steel deep sections used as beams in moment-resisting frames (MRF) featuring a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) patch on the web through advanced finite element analysis. The main goal of the CFRP reinforcement is to increase the rotation capacity of the member...conference paper 2024

Top, Jakob Dirk (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Verbrugge, Rineke (author), de Weerd, Harmen (author)Epistemic logic can be used to reason about statements such as ‘I know that you know that I know that φ ’. In this logic, and its extensions, it is commonly assumed that agents can reason about epistemic statements of arbitrary nesting depth. In contrast, empirical findings on Theory of Mind, the ability to (recursively) reason about mental...conference paper 2024

Martinelli, Cristiano (author), Coraddu, A. (author), Cammarano, Andrea (author)Meta-heuristic optimisation algorithms are high-level procedures designed to discover near-optimal solutions to optimisation problems. These strategies can efficiently explore the design space of the problems; therefore, they perform well even when incomplete and scarce information is available. Such characteristics make them the ideal...conference paper 2024

Grimm, Viktor (author), Heinlein, A. (author), Klawonn, Axel (author)Solving partial differential equations (PDEs) is a common task in numerical mathematics and scientific computing. Typical discretization schemes, for example, finite element (FE), finite volume (FV), or finite difference (FD) methods, have the disadvantage that the computations have to be repeated once the boundary conditions (BCs) or the...conference paper 2024

Agugiaro, G. (author), Pantelios, Konstantinos (author), León Sánchez, C.A. (author), Yao, Zhihang (author), Nagel, Claus (author)This paper introduces a new plug-in for QGIS that allows to connect to the free and open-source 3D City Database to load CityGML data, structured as classic GIS layers, into QGIS. The user is therefore not required to be a CityGML specialist, or a SQL expert, as the plug-in takes care of hiding from the user most of the complexity in terms of...conference paper 2024

Shen, Y.S. (author), Ersoy, O. (author), Roos, S. (author)Payment channel networks (PCNs) are a promising solution to the blockchain scalability problem. In PCNs, a sender can route a multi-hop payment to a receiver via intermediaries. Yet, Lightning, the only prominent payment channel network, has two major issues when it comes to multi-hop payments. First, the sender decides on the path without...conference paper 2024

Ersoy, O. (author), Moreno-Sanchez, Pedro (author), Roos, S. (author)The Lightning Network provides almost-instant payments to its parties. In addition to direct payments requiring a shared payment channel, parties can pay each other in the form of multi-hop payments via existing channels. Such multi-hop payments rely on a 2-phase commit protocol to achieve balance security; that is, no honest intermediary...conference paper 2024
