Gude, S. (author)Quantitative experiments with the ability to systematically probe the system under investigation are a key element to gain insight and understanding. We present a novel and simple technique enabling the maintenance and controlled perturbation of experimental conditions of microorganisms from bacteria to nematodes. Polyacrylamide-based devices...doctoral thesis 2016

Blok, M.S. (author)Gaining precise control over quantum systems is crucial for applications in quantum information processing and quantum sensing and to perform experimental tests of quantum mechanics. The experiments presented in this thesis implement quantum measurements and real-time feedback protocols that can help to achieve these goals using single electron...doctoral thesis 2015

Spinelli, A. (author)This thesis presents an experimental study of magnetic structures, composed of only a few atoms. Those structures are first built atom-by-atom and then locally probed, both with a low-temperature STM. The technique that we use to assemble them is vertical atom manipulation, while to study their physical properties we use inelastic electron...doctoral thesis 2015

Hortensius, J. (author)In transmon qubits, the leading source of errors for quantum gates is the existence of higher energy levels, besides the |0> and |1> states which form the computational subspace. Several methods have been developed to eliminate these errors systematically by clever use of the available experimental controls. In this bachelor thesis we focus on...bachelor thesis 2015

Nagtegaal, M.A. (author)I propose an implementation of the quantum private query protocol as described in an article using a photon to encode a question and reflectionor transmission of the photon as answer options. Each question is represented by a photon in a transmission line with both ends returning to the user, and the answer is represented by reflection or...bachelor thesis 2015

Van Leeuwen, R. (author)In this thesis the physics of nanoscale mechanical resonators and oscillators is studied. We discuss two types of resonators. First, a top-down fabricated doubly clamped beam resonator with an integrated piezoelectric actuator is introduced. The second type of resonators are based on layered two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and...doctoral thesis 2015

Van Dorp, D.J.J. (author)The electrical actuation of suspended membrane nanomechanical resonators incorporated into a laser interferometer displacement setup was investigated. Graphene and MoS2 membranes have been used to show electrical actuation of both metals and semiconductors. The method to fabricate devices was optimized and the properties of the fabricated...master thesis 2015

Coumou, P.C.J.J. (author)Thin films of superconducting materials with a high resistance in the normal state, such as TiN, NbTiN, NbN and InO, are intensively studied from both an application and a fundamental point of view. A spatially inhomogeneous superconducting state can arise in these materials as a result of the strong disorder. This Thesis provides an...doctoral thesis 2015

Bulgarini, G. (author)In this thesis work, I studied individual quantum dots embedded in one-dimensional nanostructures called nanowires. Amongst the effects given by the nanometric dimensions, quantum dots enable the generation of single light particles: photons. Single photon emitters and detectors are central building blocks of future communication technologies....doctoral thesis 2014

Kako Joibari, F. (author)Controlling magnetization on short time scales and/or small dimensions is a hot topic in the field of spintronics, owing to its fundamental physics and its applications for information technology. The most straightforward way to control magnetization is by using an external magnetic field. However, because of the technical limitation in using a...doctoral thesis 2014

De Visser, P.J. (author)This thesis describes the intrinsic limits of superconducting microresonator detectors. In a superconductor at low temperature, most of the electrons are paired into so called Cooper pairs, which cause the well-known electrical conduction without resistance. Superconducting microwave resonators have therefore very high quality factors and are...doctoral thesis 2014
