Optimization of single-qubit gate fidelities in silicon quantum computers in the presence of crosstalk

For scaling up the qubits in silicon quantum computers, it is vital to determine crosstalk effects that can lower the fidelity of the computer. <br/>In this computational project, we examine single-qubit gate-fidelities in the presence of crosstalk for uncoupled spin qubits that are driven with X-gates via electron dipole spin resonance (EDSR)....

Solar Powered Drones: Power Electronics

Sustainable energy technologies are ever-increasing in popularity, not only among companies but also among consumers. Photovoltaic, or PV, cells are amongst the most well known in this field. This project was set up for designing a PV-powered UAV that is able to generate an albedo map of an area equal or bigger than the campus of the TU Delft in...

Indisputable GDPR compliant signatures in ContractChain

Nowadays, entering into a contract with an overseas company still relies on postal services to send a printed contract, which is signed on paper. Lizard Global is developing an online platform for constructing, reviewing and signing digital contracts for one of their clients. In the original system, when a signee signed a contract, his personal...

Modeling and Implementing Power Electronics Systems for Solar Powered RC Planes

This BSc thesis concerns the solar plane bachelor graduation project. This project aims to improve the flight time of a commercially available RC plane by utilizing photovoltaic technologies. In this thesis the power electronics system that supplies power generated by photovoltaic technologies to the RC plane used during the solar plane project...

The quantum advantage to charging electron spin qubit batteries

Quantum thermodynamics takes over from classical thermodynamics when systems are of the scale of single particles and quantum fluctuations have a noticeable effect. An interesting topic of research of this relatively new field is the quantum battery, which in this thesis consists of an array of N identical electron spin qubits. In an article by...

On the Use of a Dual Mean Field Approach for DFT+NEGF Electronic Transport Modelling

This thesis focuses on electronic transport modelling in molecular junctions. The most common technique for modelling electron transport is the combination of Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Non-Equilibrium Green's Function's (NEGF). Conventional DFT+NEGF methods are, however, invalid for correctly modelling junctions under a bias voltage. ...

Magnetic Field Measurements in Multi-Beam Deflector Array

The Wien filter is an important part in the multi-beam inspection microscope that is being developed at the Imaging Physics research group at the TU Delft. The multi-beam inspection microscope uses an array of 20x20 parallel beams with a pitch of 1mmthat scan the sample simultaneously. This way the low throughput of current scanning electron...

Decentral market: self-regulating electronic market

A decentral electronic marketplace to trade digital currencies was created for this project. Users may trade MultiChain balance for Bitcoin. MultiChain can be described as up- and download currency in a peer-to-peer network. When a peer uploads, the balance of that peer increases and the peer can download more effectively. The client for this...

Signaalbewerking in een 7 Tesla MRI omgeving

7T MRI-scanners kunnen met de huidige technieken nog niet nauwkeurig genoeg getriggerd worden voor het uitvoeren van scans van hoge kwaliteit. In opdracht van het LUMC is er daarom een project opgestart om een systeem te ontwerpen dat biomedische signalen kan meten, verwerken en versturen om de 7T MRI-scanner te kunnen triggeren. Er zijn drie...

Het ontwerp van Smart Shelf Labels voor LEDSpeak

Leds zorgen voor een revolutie op het gebied van verlichting. Vergeleken met gloeilampen zijn ze meer energiezuinig en kunnen ze sneller schakelen. Dat maakt energie-efficiënte lichtcommunicatie mogelijk. Het onderwerp van ons onderzoek is “communicatie via leds”. Wij passen dit toe in de automatisering van prijsaanduidingen in warenhuizen, door...
