Salentijn, Jaco (author)Quantum computers are able to deal with large problems, like molecular modelling, financial prediction and cryptography. A classical controller is used to control the qubits of the quantum computer. A proposed controller, operating at 4K, needs a clean voltage supply in order to function well. The long interconnects between the room temperature...master thesis 2018

van Staveren, Job (author)Quantum computers seem very promising in solving problems that are too large to be solved by classical computers that are available today. However, to generate reasonable amounts of computing power, many qubits will be required. Each of the qubits has to be individually controlled and needs to be kept at cryogenic temperatures. To allow for the...master thesis 2018

Schriek, Edwin (author)With the advances towards a quantum computer incorporating many qubits, the demand for a scalable readout and control platform rises. Recent proposals for such a platform exploit the maturity of CMOS technology, to implement the various analog, RF and digital circuits required. To allow for scaling, the electronics that constitute this platform...master thesis 2018

Garzon Amortegui, Juan Felipe (author)W/C is a fundamental parameter for concrete mix design, it defines the properties in the fresh and hardened state as well as the durability of the material. Nevertheless, once the concrete has hardened, it is very difficult to estimate the W/C in the original mix design, so far only 2 methodologies has been accepted as a standards. Because of...master thesis 2018

Albuquerque, Rahul (author)The electrical output of a solar panel can be optimised in several ways, through the inclusion of bypass diodes (BPDs) or to have a maximum power point (MPP) tracker or DC optimiser to ensure that the panel is always operating at its global MPP. However most of these systems have to be implemented externally to the panel. A new system, the...master thesis 2018

Wang, Shaotong (author)In order to enable the current cordless kitchen system to the 3.68 kW power level, measures needs to be taken to reduce the mains harmonics. The problem is that with the increase of the power level from 2.40 kW to 3.68 kW, the amplitude of the undesired harmonics in mains current will exceed the limit according the mains harmonics standard (IEC)...master thesis 2018
