--- _id: '49' abstract: - lang: eng text: Nowadays, quantum computation is receiving more and more attention as an alternative to the classical way of computing. For realizing a quantum computer, different devices are investigated as potential quantum bits. In this thesis, the focus is on Ge hut wires, which turned out to be promising candidates for implementing hole spin quantum bits. The advantages of Ge as a material system are the low hyperfine interaction for holes and the strong spin orbit coupling, as well as the compatibility with the highly developed CMOS processes in industry. In addition, Ge can also be isotopically purified which is expected to boost the spin coherence times. The strong spin orbit interaction for holes in Ge on the one hand enables the full electrical control of the quantum bit and on the other hand should allow short spin manipulation times. Starting with a bare Si wafer, this work covers the entire process reaching from growth over the fabrication and characterization of hut wire devices up to the demonstration of hole spin resonance. From experiments with single quantum dots, a large g-factor anisotropy between the in-plane and the out-of-plane direction was found. A comparison to a theoretical model unveiled the heavy-hole character of the lowest energy states. The second part of the thesis addresses double quantum dot devices, which were realized by adding two gate electrodes to a hut wire. In such devices, Pauli spin blockade was observed, which can serve as a read-out mechanism for spin quantum bits. Applying oscillating electric fields in spin blockade allowed the demonstration of continuous spin rotations and the extraction of a lower bound for the spin dephasing time. Despite the strong spin orbit coupling in Ge, the obtained value for the dephasing time is comparable to what has been recently reported for holes in Si. All in all, the presented results point out the high potential of Ge hut wires as a platform for long-lived, fast and fully electrically tunable hole spin quantum bits. alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Hannes full_name: Watzinger, Hannes id: 35DF8E50-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Watzinger citation: ama: Watzinger H.

Real data (fitting this setup) often consist of soft spheres which show certain degree of deformation while strongly packing against each other. In this context, we answer the following questions: If we model a soft packing of spheres by hard spheres that are allowed to overlap, can we measure the volume in the overlapped areas? Can we be more specific about the overlap volume, i.e. quantify how much volume is there covered exactly twice, three times, or k times? What would be a good optimization criteria that rule the arrangement of soft spheres while making a good use of the available space? Fixing a particular criterion, what would be the optimal sphere configuration? The first result of this thesis are short formulas for the computation of volumes covered by at least k of the balls. The formulas exploit information contained in the order-k Voronoi diagrams and its closely related Level-k complex. The used complexes lead to a natural generalization into poset diagrams, a theoretical formalism that contains the order-k and degree-k diagrams as special cases. In parallel, we define different criteria to determine what could be considered an optimal arrangement from a geometrical point of view. Fixing a criterion, we find optimal soft packing configurations in 2D and 3D where the ball centers lie on a lattice. As a last step, we use tools from computational topology on real physical data, to show the potentials of higher-order diagrams in the description of melting crystals. The results of the experiments leaves us with an open window to apply the theories developed in this thesis in real applications.' alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Mabel full_name: Iglesias Ham, Mabel id: 41B58C0C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Iglesias Ham citation: ama: Iglesias Ham M.

While being very convenient mathematically, it is often very clearly violated in practice. This disparity between the machine learning theory and applications underlies a growing demand in the development of algorithms that learn from dependent data and theory that can provide generalization guarantees similar to the independent situations. This thesis is dedicated to two variants of dependencies that can arise in practice. One is a dependence on the level of samples in a single learning task. Another dependency type arises in the multi-task setting when the tasks are dependent on each other even though the data for them can be i.i.d. In both cases we model the data (samples or tasks) as stochastic processes and introduce new algorithms for both settings that take into account and exploit the resulting dependencies. We prove the theoretical guarantees on the performance of the introduced algorithms under different evaluation criteria and, in addition, we compliment the theoretical study by the empirical one, where we evaluate some of the algorithms on two real world datasets to highlight their practical applicability. alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alexander full_name: Zimin, Alexander id: 37099E9C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Zimin citation: ama: Zimin A.

Motivated by the success of decentralized cryptocurrencies, exemplified by Bitcoin, the focus of this thesis will be on proof systems which found applications in some sustainable alternatives to Bitcoin, such as the Spacemint and Chia cryptocurrencies. In particular, we focus on proofs of space and proofs of sequential work.\r\nProofs of space (PoSpace) were suggested as more ecological, economical, and egalitarian alternative to the energy-wasteful proof-of-work mining of Bitcoin. However, the state-of-the-art constructions of PoSpace are based on sophisticated graph pebbling lower bounds, and are therefore complex. Moreover, when these PoSpace are used in cryptocurrencies like Spacemint, miners can only start mining after ensuring that a commitment to their space is already added in a special transaction to the blockchain. Proofs of sequential work (PoSW) are proof systems in which a prover, upon receiving a statement x and a time parameter T, computes a proof which convinces the verifier that T time units had passed since x was received. Whereas Spacemint assumes synchrony to retain some interesting Bitcoin dynamics, Chia requires PoSW with unique proofs, i.e., PoSW in which it is hard to come up with more than one accepting proof for any true statement. In this thesis we construct simple and practically-efficient PoSpace and PoSW. When using our PoSpace in cryptocurrencies, miners can start mining on the fly, like in Bitcoin, and unlike current constructions of PoSW, which either achieve efficient verification of sequential work, or faster-than-recomputing verification of correctness of proofs, but not both at the same time, ours achieve the best of these two worlds." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Hamza M full_name: Abusalah, Hamza M id: 40297222-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Abusalah citation: ama: Abusalah HM.

Moreover, very recently computer vision research widely adopted techniques for representation learning, which further increase the demand for labeled data. However, for many important practical problems there is relatively small amount of labeled data available, so it is problematic to leverage full potential of the representation learning methods. One way to overcome this obstacle is to invest substantial resources into producing large labelled datasets. Unfortunately, this can be prohibitively expensive in practice. In this thesis we focus on the alternative way of tackling the aforementioned issue. We concentrate on methods, which make use of weakly-labeled or even unlabeled data. Specifically, the first half of the thesis is dedicated to the semantic image segmentation task. We develop a technique, which achieves competitive segmentation performance and only requires annotations in a form of global image-level labels instead of dense segmentation masks. Subsequently, we present a new methodology, which further improves segmentation performance by leveraging tiny additional feedback from a human annotator. By using our methods practitioners can greatly reduce the amount of data annotation effort, which is required to learn modern image segmentation models. In the second half of the thesis we focus on methods for learning from unlabeled visual data. We study a family of autoregressive models for modeling structure of natural images and discuss potential applications of these models. Moreover, we conduct in-depth study of one of these applications, where we develop the state-of-the-art model for the probabilistic image colorization task. acknowledgement: I also gratefully acknowledge the support of NVIDIA Corporation with the donation of the GPUs used for this research. alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alexander full_name: Kolesnikov, Alexander id: 2D157DB6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kolesnikov citation: ama: Kolesnikov A.

For the computational version of the problem, it is well known that there is no algorithm to decide whether the fundamental group \U0001D70B1(\U0001D44B) of a given finite simplicial complex X is trivial. On the other hand, there are several algorithms that, given a finite simplicial complex X that is simply connected (i.e., with \U0001D70B1(\U0001D44B) \ trivial), compute the higher homotopy group \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B) \ for any given \U0001D451≥2 . However, these algorithms come with a caveat: They compute the isomorphism type of \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B) , \U0001D451≥2 \ as an abstract finitely generated abelian group given by generators and relations, but they work with very implicit representations of the elements of \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B) . Converting elements of this abstract group into explicit geometric maps from the d-dimensional sphere \U0001D446\U0001D451 to X has been one of the main unsolved problems in the emerging field of computational homotopy theory. Here we present an algorithm that, given a simply connected space X, computes \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B) \ and represents its elements as simplicial maps from a suitable triangulation of the d-sphere \U0001D446\U0001D451 to X. For fixed d, the algorithm runs in time exponential in size(\U0001D44B) , the number of simplices of X. Moreover, we prove that this is optimal: For every fixed \U0001D451≥2 , we construct a family of simply connected spaces X such that for any simplicial map representing a generator of \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B) , the size of the triangulation of \U0001D446\U0001D451 on which the map is defined, is exponential in size(\U0001D44B) ." article_type: original author: - first_name: Marek full_name: Filakovský, Marek id: 3E8AF77E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Filakovský - first_name: Peter full_name: Franek, Peter id: 473294AE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Franek orcid: 0000-0001-8878-8397 - first_name: Uli full_name: Wagner, Uli id: 36690CA2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Wagner orcid: 0000-0002-1494-0568 - first_name: Stephan Y full_name: Zhechev, Stephan Y id: 3AA52972-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Zhechev citation: ama: Filakovský M, Franek P, Wagner U, Zhechev SY.

Asynchronous programs, on the other hand, are difficult to specify because there are side effects due to pending computation scheduled as a result of the invocation of an operation. They are also difficult to verify because of the large number of possible interleavings of concurrent computation threads. We present synchronization, a new proof rule that simplifies the verification of asynchronous programs by introducing the fiction, for proof purposes, that asynchronous operations complete synchronously. Synchronization summarizes an asynchronous computation as immediate atomic effect. Modular verification is enabled via pending asynchronous calls in atomic summaries, and a complementary proof rule that eliminates pending asynchronous calls when components and their specifications are composed. We evaluate synchronization in the context of a multi-layer refinement verification methodology on a collection of benchmark programs. alternative_title: - LIPIcs article_number: '21' author: - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Kragl, Bernhard id: 320FC952-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kragl orcid: 0000-0001-7745-9117 - first_name: Shaz full_name: Qadeer, Shaz last_name: Qadeer - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 citation: ama: 'Kragl B, Qadeer S, Henzinger TA.

We consider two filtrations - one in scale obtained by fixing k and increasing r, and the other in depth obtained by fixing r and decreasing k - and we compute the persistence diagrams of both. While standard methods suffice for the filtration in scale, we need novel geometric and topological concepts for the filtration in depth. In particular, we introduce a rhomboid tiling in ℝd+1 whose horizontal integer slices are the order-k Delaunay mosaics of X, and construct a zigzag module from Delaunay mosaics that is isomorphic to the persistence module of the multi-covers.

Here we demonstrate two-axis control of a spin 3/2 qubit in natural Ge. The qubit is formed in a hut wire double quantum dot device. The Pauli spin blockade principle allowed us to demonstrate electric dipole spin resonance by applying a radio frequency electric field to one of the electrodes defining the double quantum dot. Coherent hole spin oscillations with Rabi frequencies reaching 140 MHz are demonstrated and dephasing times of 130 ns are measured. The reported results emphasize the potential of Ge as a platform for fast and electrically tunable hole spin qubit devices. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: M-Shop - _id: NanoFab article_processing_charge: Yes article_type: original author: - first_name: Hannes full_name: Watzinger, Hannes id: 35DF8E50-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Watzinger - first_name: Josip full_name: Kukucka, Josip id: 3F5D8856-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kukucka - first_name: Lada full_name: Vukusic, Lada id: 31E9F056-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Vukusic orcid: 0000-0003-2424-8636 - first_name: Fei full_name: Gao, Fei last_name: Gao - first_name: Ting full_name: Wang, Ting last_name: Wang - first_name: Friedrich full_name: Schäffler, Friedrich last_name: Schäffler - first_name: Jian full_name: Zhang, Jian last_name: Zhang - first_name: Georgios full_name: Katsaros, Georgios id: 38DB5788-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Katsaros orcid: 0000-0001-8342-202X citation: ama: Watzinger H, Kukucka J, Vukušić L, et al.
