Het Quantum Delta NL-programma, waaraan de Universiteit Leiden deelneemt, krijgt 615 miljoen euro uit het Nationaal Groeifonds om Nederland te ontwikkelen tot een koploper in quantumtechnologie. Dit werd vandaag bekend gemaakt bij de presentatie van de winnende voorstellen in Den Haag.

Food security is challenged by a growing global population and by climate change. Drought and soil salinity are considered the most important ones that inhibit crop yield and distribution. Worryingly, climate change is predicted to increase not only their frequency and severity, but also their co-occurrence,…

Na het afronden van de bacheloropleiding volgen verreweg de meeste studenten de masteropleiding.

Elke week organiseert ISGA de Research Seminar Series waarin onderzoek van zowel medewerkers van ISGA als van externen aan bod komt.

Quantum computing is an emerging technology, which holds the potential to simulate complex quantum systems beyond the reach of classical numerical methods.Despite recent formidable advancements in quantum hardware, constructing a quantum computer capable of performing useful calculations remains challenging.In…

Detecting nanoscopic objects plays an important role in nanoscience in particular, in the rapidly growing field of nanobiology. The forebear to modern super-resolution microscopy for single molecule investigation, is fluorescence microscopy.

This thesis mainly focuses on cross-modal retrieval and single-modal image retrieval via deep learning methods, i.e. by using deep convolutional neural networks.

Dit op casestudies gebaseerde Engelstalige boek over multivariate analyse voor gevorderde studenten in de geesteswetenschappen legt de nadruk op beschrijvende, exploratieve analyses van verschillende soorten datasets uit een breed scala van subdisciplines, waarbij het gebruik van multivariate analyse…

De Una Europa Clusters brengen vooraanstaande deskundigen en ervaren personeelsleden van de talrijke academische en professionele diensten van de Una Europa -partners samen.

Protoplanetary disks are the gas and dust environments where planetary systems form around young stars. Using observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) this thesis analyses the gaseous molecular reservoir, using multiple tracers to resolve the 3D structure of protoplanetary…

We are living in an information era where the amount of image and video data increases exponentially.

Onderzoeksgroepen in het Quantum Matter & Optics onderzoeksprogramma onderzoeken elektronische eigenschappen van interacties van materie en lichtmaterie, met de nadruk op quantuminformatie.

This thesis is based on five papers on several topics.

Leiden University’s Academic Challenge

De Leiden Slavery Studies Association (LSSA) is toegewijd aan het bevorderen van een beter begrip van slavernij en post-slavernij in elke periode en elk geografisch gebied.

De tweejarige masteropleiding Physics wordt aangeboden door het Leids Instituut voor Onderzoek in de Natuurkunde. De opleiding is theoretisch en experimenteel. Er is ruime aandacht voor onderzoekstraining. Ook bieden we veel keuzemogelijkheden en op maat gemaakte, individuele studieprogramma’s.

De Swahilikust kent een lange geschiedenis van transoceanische islamitische verbindingen die teruggaat tot de 25e eeuw. Toch heeft de boekdrukkunst de wereld veranderd; niet alleen de onze. In dit project worden unieke vormen en archieven van intellectuele geschiedenis ontrafeld die vanuit Zuid-Zuid-verbindingen…

Galaxies form and evolve through close interaction with their surroundings. As a result, the heavy elements ('metals') that are synthesized in stars, are found both inside and outside galaxies.

Leren om onderzoek te doen is een goede voorbereiding op wetenschappelijk onderwijs. De Universiteit Leiden helpt je daarom graag op weg om profielwerkstuk te schrijven waar je trots op kunt zijn.

This thesis covers several aspects of quantum algorithms for near-term quantum computers and its applications to quantum chemistry and material science.

This thesis studies operator-algebraic aspects of subproduct systems, a generalization of product systems of Hilbert spaces.
