Cerviño Fungueiriño, David Cervino (author)Quantum computers exploit the quantum behavior of quantum bits (qubits) that are typically operated at cryogenic temperature. Qubits require an electronic control interface. Nowadays, such classical electronic controllers use bulky instruments operated far fromthe qubits outside the cryostat. To run practical quantum algorithms, thousands to...master thesis 2022

Rejali, R. (author)This thesis focuses on possible platforms for a bottom-up approach towards realizing and characterizing atomically assembled magnetic and electronic artificial lattices. For this, we make use of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM), which provides a local probe of the magnetic and electronic properties of the sample and allows for the atom-by...doctoral thesis 2022

van der Sande, Robin (author)With the increasing appearance of DC loads and DC sources in the MVAC distribution grids, the need for DC power systems is getting more and more pronounced. As a result, the MMC has become a promising and innovative technology that can serve as the interface between a DC and AC network. The MMC-based MVDC distribution link is one of the...master thesis 2022

Fu, Y. (author)When high-temperature steels are loaded under under industrially relevant conditions not only creep (i.e. a time dependent strain increase even under nominally constant loading conditions) occurs, but also local damage is formed. At relatively short exposure times quasi-spherical micron-sized cavities form preferentially at the grain boundaries...doctoral thesis 2022

Valentin, Mick (author)For decades supermarkets have been seen as very conservative. However, it seems that food retailers are increasingly taking a proactive role in implementing new technologies in the food retail, shaping decision-making process from their own sales perspective. This research aims to identify the preferences of different technology implementation...master thesis 2022

Klop, Casper (author)Offshore wind energy is expected to play a major role in the upcoming energy transition. For long distances to shore, it is preferable to connect the wind farms to land by means of High-Voltage DC (HVDC) cables to reduce losses and costs. This currently poses challenges, as wind turbine generators produce variable-frequency low-voltage AC power,...master thesis 2022

Damsteegt, Rob (author)Scalable universal quantum computers require classical control hardware, physically close to the quantum devices at cryogenic temperatures. Such classical controllers need digital memory for various applications, ranging from high-speed queues to high-speed and low-speed lookup tables and working memory. The power consumption of the memories...master thesis 2022

Pang, Dinglie (author)Climate change has called for an urgent revolution in our energy sector. Concerning energy generation, the use of fossil fuels must be decreased, due to the carbon pollution they produce, and more and more green energy is required to be integrated into the power system. Solar energy represents a valid alternative to generates electricity without...master thesis 2022
