Fraunhofer IAF’s unique quantum computing infrastructure operates the latest quantum accelerator by Quantum Brilliance. It is Europe’s first compact quantum accelerator based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. With its compact size and robust integration without cryogenics, the second-generation Quantum Development Kit (QB-QDK2.0) enables hybrid quantum-classical computing. The system will be made available to partners across science and industry to explore its capabilities and advance real-world quantum applications.
A new system enables a robot to “think ahead” and consider thousands of potential motion plans simultaneously, allowing the robot to solve a multistep problem in a few seconds.
During hurricanes, it’s not wind but water that poses the greatest risk – causing 86% of storm-related deaths in the past decade, mostly from inland flooding. FAU’s I-SENSE is revolutionizing storm forecasting through its leadership of the Southeast Atlantic Econet, a cutting-edge network of more 190 weather and flood monitoring stations. Spanning from Key West to South Carolina, it delivers real-time data that powers lifesaving forecasts from the National Weather Service.
Within the transition process of urban rail transit system, challenges of high energy consumption, increasing carbon emissions, limited economic viability, and intricate risks emerge as significant hurdles. This paper proposes a novel energy utilization framework for urban rail transit system incorporating underground energy storage systems characterized by high resilience and low carbon. Firstly, existing methods are comprehensively reviewed. Then, the integrated framework is introduced, which effectively utilizes and manages diverse renewable energy sources and the available space resources. The viability is demonstrated through a case study by combining Nanjing Metro. Finally, the suggestions research in pivotal areas are summarized.
