Vergés i Plaza, Guillem (author)Trailing-edge noise can be the dominant noise source of diverse industrial applications, including wind turbines. Noise regulations may limit the power production and installation of new wind farms. There is a need to reduce it. In order to achieve so, we first need to predict it, and to do so we need experimental data to support and validate...master thesis 2022

Donkers, Huub (author)As the technology of quantum computers improves, the need to evaluate their performance also becomes an important tool for indexing and comparing of quantum performance. Current benchmarking proposals either focus on gate-level evaluation, are centered around a single performance metric, or only evaluate in-house quantum computers. This gives...master thesis 2022

Xue, X. (author)Benchmarking the performance of a quantum computer is of key importance in identifying and reducing the error sources, and therefore in achieving fault-tolerant quantum computation. In the last decade, qubits made of electron spins in silicon emerged as promising candidates for practical quantum computers. To understand their physical properties...doctoral thesis 2022
