I rarely leave my neighborhood these days, so when the opportunity came last weekend to visit a town about 80 km from my home, I took a little detour to visit and take photos of the town’s only national historical marker.

Working My Way Back to You: Resource-Centric Next-Activity Prediction
Predictive Process Monitoring (PPM) aims to train models that forecast upcoming events in process executions. These predictions support early bottleneck detection, improved scheduling, proactive interventions, and timely communication with stakeholders. While existing research adopts a control-flow perspective, we investigate next-activity prediction from a resource-centric viewpoint, which offers additional benefits such as improved work organization, workload balancing, and capacity forecasti…

Het was de bedoeling geweest dat ik hier nu verslag zou doen van #hartrevalidatie nummer 5, maar ik ben nier geweest. Dat komt door #hartrevalidatie nummer 4. Daar zijn mijn spieren zo overbelast dat ik 4,5 dagen het bed heb moeten hoeden. Ik ga ook er niet meer naar terug, want ze kun…

Quantum Assisted Ghost Gutzwiller Ansatz
The ghost Gutzwiller ansatz (gGut) embedding technique was shown to achieve comparable accuracy to the gold standard dynamical mean-field theory method in simulating real material properties, yet at a much lower computational cost. Despite that, gGut is limited by the algorithmic bottleneck of computing the density matrix of the underlying effective embedding model, a quantity which must be converged within a self-consistent embedding loop. We develop a hybrid quantum-classical gGut technique w…

The Graph Structure of a Class of Permutation Maps over Ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$
Understanding the periodic and structural properties of permutation maps over residue rings such as $\mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$ is a foundational challenge in algebraic dynamics and pseudorandom sequence analysis. Despite notable progress in characterizing global periods, a critical bottleneck remains: the lack of explicit tools to analyze local cycle structures and their evolution with increasing arithmetic precision. In this work, we propose a unified analytical framework to systematically derive the …

A Scalable Heuristic for Molecular Docking on Neutral-Atom Quantum Processors
Molecular docking is a critical computational method in drug discovery used to predict the binding conformation and orientation of a ligand within a protein's binding site. Mapping this challenge onto a graph-based problem, specifically the Maximum Weighted Independent Set (MWIS) problem, allows it to be addressed by specialized hardware such as neutral-atom quantum processors. However, a significant bottleneck has been the size mismatch between biologically relevant molecular systems and the l…
