Bouwmeester, D. (author)This dissertation centers around two topics: graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and superconductors. The aim of this thesis is to work towards combine these two topics, in order to study how superconducting correlations interact with magnetic correlations within graphene nanoribbons, such as the magnetic edge states present in the zigzag edges of...doctoral thesis 2024

Pasini, M. (author)A large-scale quantum network, where many nodes are connected via entanglement and can share and process quantum information, will allow applications that are now unattainable. While some are known, ranging from distributed quantum computing to enhanced quantum sensing and quantum communication, the full potential of such a fundamentally new...doctoral thesis 2024

Franse, W.J.M. (author)The field of quantum acoustics studies high frequency sounds generated at low temperatures such that quantum mechanical effects become relevant. The studies mainly revolves around propagating quantized sound waves, or phonons, a collective excitation of atoms in solids or liquids. In quantum acoustics, the engineering and design tools described...doctoral thesis 2024

Vilkelis, K. (author)A large part of condensed matter physics concerns itself with understanding the behaviour of electrons in solids and finding ways to control them. However, in mesoscopic systems (i.e., systems with nanometer to micrometre scale), the behaviour of electrons is difficult to predict through the Schrödinger equation. Instead, it is often more...doctoral thesis 2024

Varbanov, B.M. (author)The theory of quantum mechanics describes many phenomena that may initially seem to be counter-intuitive and, in some cases, impossible, given the understanding of classical mechanics that most of us are more intimately familiar with. Following its initial introduction, there was a great deal of debate among scientists regarding the predictions...doctoral thesis 2024

Schalkers, M.A. (author), Möller, M. (author)In recent years, quantum Boltzmann methods have gained more and more interest as they might provide a viable path toward solving fluid dynamics problems on quantum computers once this emerging compute technology has matured and fault-tolerant many-qubit systems become available. The major challenge in developing a start-to-end quantum...journal article 2024

Kong, I. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Bharosa, Nitesh (author)By utilizing the properties of quantum mechanics, quantum computers have the potential to factor a key pair of a large prime number and break some of the core cryptographic primitives that most information infrastructures depend on. This means that today's widely used cryptographic algorithms can soon become unsafe and need to be modified...journal article 2024

Schalkers, M.A. (author), Möller, M. (author)In this paper we present a scalable algorithm for fault-tolerant quantum computers for solving the transport equation in two and three spatial dimensions for variable grid sizes and discrete velocities, where the object walls are aligned with the Cartesian grid, the relative difference of velocities in each dimension is bounded by 1 and the...journal article 2024

(author), De Ras, Kevin (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author)The use of reactive working fluids in thermodynamic cycles is currently being considered as an alternative to inert working fluids, because of the preliminarily attested higher energy-efficiency potential. The current needs to simulate their use in thermodynamic cycles, which may operate in liquid, vapour or vapour-liquid state, are an...journal article 2024

Vardoyan, G.S. (author), van Milligen, Emily (author), Guha, Saikat (author), Wehner, S.D.C. (author), Towsley, Don (author)We consider the problem of multipath entanglement distribution to a pair of nodes in a quantum network consisting of devices with nondeterministic entanglement swapping capabilities. Multipath entanglement distribution enables a network to establish end-to-end entangled links across any number of available paths with preestablished link-level...journal article 2024

Ciani, Alessandro (author), DiVincenzo, David P. (author), Terhal, B.M. (author)During the last 30 years, stimulated by the quest to build superconducting quantum processors, a theory of quantum electrical circuits has emerged, which is called circuit quantum electrodynamics or circuit-QED. The goal of the theory is to provide a quantum description of the most relevant degrees of freedom. The central objects to be derived...book 2024

Possati, L.M. (author)This paper develops a hermeneutic technology assessment of quantum technologies. It offers a “vision assessment” of quantum technologies that can eventually lead to socio-ethical analysis. Section 2 describes this methodological approach and in particular the concept of the hermeneutic circle applied to technology. Section 3 gives a generic...journal article 2024
