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

Neves Almeida Lopes, Tamira (author)When looking up to the sky and trying to detect the photons of far away stars that are still in formation, we can get access to knowledge we never had before. In order to do this, we must make sure we truly understand the nature of how photons behave in accordance to each other and to our detectors.In quantum optics we can see that these photons...bachelor thesis 2022

Ubbens, Otmar (author)Crucial to the behaviour of a Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centre are its excited state cyclicities, determining the ability to perform high fidelity readout, spin-photon entanglement generation or fast spinpumping. This work presents a unified model to predict these excited state cyclicities over a wide range of strain, electric field, magnetic field...master thesis 2022

SOTIROPOULOS, YORGOS (author)High fidelity GHZ states among remote nodes is a precious commodity which can allow for non-local stabilizer measurements and thus pave the way for a modular fault-tolerant quantum computer. To this end, we extend the high fidelity intracavity gate introduced by Borregaard et al. (2015) to distributed paradigm, consisting of SnV-inspired atomic...master thesis 2022

Maradiaga Rosales, Ian (author)Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are characterized by their quantum limited ability to accurately detect single photons, with low jitter, high detection efficiency and low dark count rate. To achieve this, the detector is cooled to 2-3K, bringing the device in a superconductive state, and is then biased with a direct...bachelor thesis 2021

Sala, Arnau (author), Blaauboer, M. (author)We propose an implementation of a quantum router for microwave photons in a superconducting qubit architecture consisting of a transmon qubit, SQUIDs and a nonlinear capacitor.

Hosseini Aria, S.E. (author), Menenti, M. (author), Gorte, B.G.H. (author)Reliability analysis is usually applied to evaluate classification procedures with different classes. In this research, we have applied the analysis to two different band sets to find out which one is more reliable. These band sets provide the most informative spectral regions covered by hyperspectral images. The informative regions are...journal article 2014

Heeres, R.W. (author)This thesis describes experiments with surface plasmons: light confined to metal-dielectric interfaces. By using metals it is possible to make extremely small waveguides for light, even below the diffraction limit of dielectric structures. We study the quantum aspects of single plasmons in particular.
