This dissertation explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) can effectively and responsibly contribute to complex decision-making processes. By combining AI and human intelligence, Hybrid Intelligence (HI) emerges, allowing the strengths of both humans and machines to be utilized.

Hybrid zones occur where two species meet and produce offspring (hybrids). Typically, hybrids show a considerable reduction in fitness. In this thesis two hybrid zones are treated.

A Josephson junction is a device where a thin insulating barrier or a nanostructure is placed between two superconducting leads. Such a junction is essential to superconducting qubits that store quantum information due to its anharmonic spectrum.

Metal complexes and 2D materials like graphene were combined to produce structures that can function as sensors.

In 'Vaderland en vrede 1672-1713' beschrijft en analyseert Donald Haks de publiciteit over veertig jaar oorlog vanuit drie invalshoeken: publieke opinie, vroegmodern patriottisme en reflectie op oorlogsvoering.

Een experimentele analse van de impact van liberale normen op steun voor of afwijzing van oorlogsvoering onder een groep mensen die zijn gesocialiseerd in een democratie (Nederland) en een groep die altijd heeft geleefd in een autocratie (China) toont aan dat het liberale gehalte in de democratische…

Hybride intelligentie (HI) is de combinatie van menselijke en machinale intelligentie, waarbij het menselijk intellect wordt uitgebreid in plaats van vervangen. HI houdt rekening met de menselijke expertise en intentionaliteit bij het nemen van zinvolle beslissingen en het uitvoeren van passende acties,…

We use DNA strands to stabilize few-atom silver clusters, which show unique optical and chemical properties. This thesis involves the study of these constructs for various applications.

Quantum annealing belongs to a family of quantum optimization algorithms designed to solve combinatorial optimization problems using programmable quantum hardware. In this thesis, various methods are developed and tested to understand how to formulate combinatorial optimization problems for quantum…
