Photonic Quantum Systems Network (PhoQSNET) - Quantum communication infrastructure

Data security is critical to modern society. From personal data and identity fraud to cyber-attacks threatening the integrity of sovereign nations, the need for secure communication and data processing has never been greater. While quantum networks address some of these issues, in that they can be provably secure for many cryptographic ...

SPP 1307 - Developing a practical theory for clustering algorithms through data-driven modeling and analysis

Cluster analysis, or simply clustering, is the partitioning of a set of objects into subsets of similar objects. Clustering algorithms have applications in data compression, pattern recognition, biology, network analysis, stochastics, text classification, and machine learning, to name a few. The different applications also determine what is meant ...
