A significant portion of Dutch infrastructure, including gas, water, and electricity networks, is underground. The lack of clear mapping leads to uncoordinated digging, increasing the risk of damage and labor costs. Current detection methods like probes, sonar, and ground-penetrating radar have limitations, …

In an era of rapid technological advancement, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a revolutionary force, reshaping industries and redefining human interactions with technology. The tourism sector, known for its dynamic nature and customer-centric focus, stands at the forefront of this AI-driven …

Data, the raw material from which information is derived, is stored, copied, moved and modified more easily than ever. This quantum leap reaches levels outside our imagination. Surrounded by sensors, recommendation systems, invisible algorithms, spreadsheets and blockchains, the ‘difference that makes …

The goal of this thesis is achieving saturation intensity of 76.5 mW/cm2for 2S1/2F=1 - 2P1/2F = 2 transition in singly-ionized beryllium ions (Be+). By enlarging the optical power of a laser diode at 626.266 nm via a bow-tie cavity and converting to 313.133 nm using Second Harmonic Generation in a nonlinear …

As I chose to do Lycar track 1, I have the opportunity to write my thesis for my internship company. I am currently working as Assistant to the CFO at Quantum Capital Partners (QCP), a private equity company, based in Munich, Germany, which is specialized in special case mergers & acquisitions. Due …

Op dit moment wordt overal ter wereld veel geïnvesteerd in quantumtechnologie. Zowel in de ontwikkeling van quantum computing, quantumsimulatie als quantumcommunicatie en quantum sensing. Zozeer zelfs dat er sprake is van een quantumrace omdat degene die als eerste gebruik kan maken van deze nieuwe technologie …

The Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences started a research and education group on Applied Quantum Computing at September 1st 2020. This group has a focus on Quantum Computing and Quantum Sensing. Quantum Computing is done together with the Computer Science program and Quantum Sensing with the new …

Sustainable commercial fishing, species conservation, and bycatch are contentious topics. Great emphasis has been placed on the sustainable sourcing of particular species that we buy at the store and order in restaurants, but how can we trust that the fish on our plates, from a system-wide perspective, …

A new bookkeeping system called Jiskefet is being developed for A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) during Long Shutdown 2, to be in production until the end of LHC Run 4 (2029). Jiskefet unifies two function- alities: a) gathering, storing and presenting metadata associated with the oper- ations …

Multiple scientific and industrial applications such as telecommunication and quantum cryptography causing a rise in the development of the superconducting nanowire single photons detectors (SNSPD). In the last decade, the characteristics of the detectors improved but run against the problem that the …
