Molecular solar thermal storage materials are proposed as a clean, renewable energy solution for a world with ever increasing energy needs. Norbornadiene is an organic compound suitable for molecular solar thermal storage ...

Topological insulators, superconductors and semi-metals are states of ma er with unique features such as quantized macroscopic observables and robust, gapless edge states. ese states can not be explained by standard ...

A graph neural network (GNN) is constructed and trained with a purpose of using it as a quantum error correction decoder for depolarized noise on the surface code. Since associating syndromes on the surface code with ...

This thesis presents a coupling algorithm of the discrete element method (DEM) and finite element method (FEM). The algorithm formulates an explicit coupling of transient simulations of particle systems interacting with ...

Quantum error correction is essential to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computation in the presence of noisy qubits. Among the most promising approaches to quantum error correction is the surface code, thanks to a scalable ...

Methods of coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) rely on iterative algorithms to reconstruct the complex exit-surface wave (ESW) of the object being imaged from the measured diffraction intensity only. In this thesis we ...

Simulating the dynamics of active particles play a key role in understanding the many behaviours active matter can exhibit. Experimental studies are more costly than simulations in this regard, as there is much work that ...

CO oxidation is the reaction between carbon monoxide and oxygen forming carbon dioxide, as described by 2CO + O2 → 2CO2. Gold (Au) being chemically highly inert is not expected to be a good catalyst but exhibits an ...

Outbreaks of multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as Klebsiella oxytoca, present critical challenges to healthcare systems worldwide. Such bacteria can cause severe infections in immune-suppressed patients, spreading through ...
