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.

text: 'We describe arrangements of three-dimensional spheres from a geometrical
and topological point of view. 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.'

text: The most common assumption made in statistical learning theory is the assumption
of the independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) data. 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.

text: "A proof system is a protocol between a prover and a verifier over a common
input in which an honest prover convinces the verifier of the validity of true
statements. 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."

text: Modern computer vision systems heavily rely on statistical machine learning
models, which typically require large amounts of labeled data to be learned reliably.
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.

text: "A central problem of algebraic topology is to understand the homotopy groups
\ \U0001D70B\U0001D451(\U0001D44B) of a topological space X. 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)
."

text: Synchronous programs are easy to specify because the side effects of an operation
are finished by the time the invocation of the operation returns to the caller.
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.

text: 'Given a locally finite X ⊆ ℝd and a radius r ≥ 0, the k-fold cover of X and
r consists of all points in ℝd that have k or more points of X within distance
r. 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. '

text: Holes confined in quantum dots have gained considerable interest in the past
few years due to their potential as spin qubits. 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.
