Horta Ferreira da Silva, F. (author)The future quantum internet promises to enable users all around the world to, among other applications, generate shared secure keys and perform distributed quantum computations. To do so, entanglement must be distributed between remote users. One way of doing this is by sending photons through optical fiber, which allows for reusing some...doctoral thesis 2023

Avis, G. (author)The future quantum internet promises to create shared quantum entanglement between any two points on Earth, enabling applications such as provably-secure communication and connecting quantum computers. A popular method for distributing entanglement is by sending entangled photons through optical fiber. However, the probability of successful...doctoral thesis 2023

(author)Microbial metabolism is strongly dependent on the environmental conditions. While these can be well controlled under laboratory conditions, large-scale bioreactors are characterized by inhomogeneities and consequently dynamic conditions for the organisms. How Saccharomyces cerevisiae response to frequent perturbations in industrial...journal article 2023

Fang, P. (author), Li, Xiao (author), Jiang, X. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author), Bai, Yong (author)Predicting the bending behaviours of a submarine power cable (SPC) is always a tough task due to its complex geometry and inner layer contact, not to mention the stick–slip mechanism. A full-scale finite element model is cumbersome during the early design stage and a more efficient model for practical use is required. Therefore, in this paper...journal article 2023

Tummers, Fokkedien H.M.P. (author), Peltenburg, Sophie I. (author), Metzemaekers, Jeroen (author), Jansen, F.W. (author), Blikkendaal, Mathijs D. (author)Purpose: Patients often undergo repeat surgery for endometriosis, due to recurrent or residual disease. Previous surgery is often considered a risk factor for worse surgical outcome. However, data are scarce concerning the influence of subsequent endometriosis surgery. Methods: A retrospective study in a centre of expertise for endometriosis...journal article 2023

Brand, Sebastiaan (author), Coopmans, T.J. (author), Elkouss Coronas, D. (author), Li, Boxi (author)The vision of a global network that enables quantum communications between any point on Earth is known as the quantum internet. One crucial element of this network is the use of quantum repeater chains, which have the potential to overcome transmission losses and implement entanglement or quantum key distribution protocols over extended...conference paper 2023

van Driessen, Laurens (author)Increasing demand for higher precision machines is arising in the high-tech industry. Linear guides are often used to establish this highly accurate and highly repeatable motion. The amount and variation in preload play an important role in the total motion errors. The objective of this paper is to investigate the relation between preload and...master thesis 2022

Weststrate, Thomas (author)Purpose: Pre- and post-treatment MRI based Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) has shown to be an effective predictor and indicator of treatment response in cancer. However, clinical applications of the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) requires sufficient precision; this can be assessed with repeatability studies. Therefore, the purpose of this...master thesis 2022

Wo Kah Jen, KAH JEN (author)An improvement to the existing one-way quantum repeater network using the tree cluster state as the quantum error correcting code is presented. Namely, the [[5,1,3]] quantum error correcting code is introduced as an outer code while the tree code becomes the inner code. Using this approach, we present a novel hybrid one-way quantum repeater...master thesis 2022

Goodenough, K.D. (author)The research presented in this thesis focused on the problem of entanglement distribution. Simply put, the two main problems facing (practical) implementation of entanglement distribution over quantum networks are loss and noise. Quantum repeaters are meant to overcome the effects of loss, but in practice their implementation always comes at the...doctoral thesis 2022

Fransen, M.P. (author), Langelaar, M. (author), Schott, D.L. (author)In calibration of model parameters for discrete element method (DEM) based models the focus lies on matching the mean key performance indicator (KPI) values from laboratory experiments to those from simulation results. However, due to the stochastic nature of granular processes experimental results can show large variances. To include...journal article 2022

(author)MR fingerprinting (MRF) is a promising method for quantitative characterization of tissues. Often, voxel-wise measurements are made, assuming a single tissue-type per voxel. Alternatively, the Sparsity Promoting Iterative Joint Non-negative least squares Multi-Component MRF method (SPIJN-MRF) facilitates tissue parameter estimation for...journal article 2022

(author)Background: Foot and ankle joint kinematics are measured during clinical gait analyses with marker-based multi-segment foot models. To improve on existing models, measurement errors due to soft tissue artifacts (STAs) and marker misplacements should be reduced.

Jirovská, Hana (author)There has been a lot of research focused on the next generation of the internet, the so-called quantum networks. This analysis has been so far limited to mostly symmetrical architectures, but any near-term realisations of quantum networks using existing fibre topologies will contain asymmetry. In this thesis, we investigate how midpoint...bachelor thesis 2021
