Die politisch mehr als dubiose Bundestagspräsidentin Julia #Klöckner mit ihrer stark am rechten Rand der #CDU ausgerichteten Haltung hat ein massives Problem, sich neutral zu verhalten.
Sie ist weit, weit entfernt von einer Persönlichkeit wie Norbert Lammert und wie er das Amt führte.

Contextuality-based quantum key distribution with deterministic single-photon sources
Photons are central to quantum technologies, with photonic qubits offering a promising platform for quantum communication. Semiconductor quantum dots stand out for their ability to generate single photons on demand, a key capability for enabling long-distance quantum networks. In this work, we utilize high-purity single-photon sources based on self-assembled InAs(Ga)As quantum dots as quantum information carriers. We demonstrate that such on-demand single photons can generate quantum contextual…

GMIMS-DRAGONS: A Faraday Depth Survey of the Northern Sky Covering 350 to 1030 MHz
Polarized synchrotron emission at meter to centimeter wavelengths provides an effective tracer of the Galactic magnetic field. Calculating Faraday depth, the most useful parameter for mapping the line-of-sight magnetic field, requires observations covering wide frequency bands with many channels. As part of the Global Magneto-Ionic Medium Survey we have observed polarized emission spanning 350-1030 MHz over the Northern sky, in the declination range ${-20^{\circ}}\leqδ\leq{90^{\circ}}$. We use…

Interacting galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations - IX: Mini mergers trigger AGN in cosmological simulations
Galaxy mergers are transformative events that can cause gaseous inflows capable of triggering active galactic nuclei (AGN). Previous studies of AGN in simulations have mainly focused on major interactions (i.e. between approximately equal mass galaxies), which produce the strongest inflows and, therefore, would be the most likely to trigger AGN activity. However, minor interactions are far more common and may still enhance accretion onto supermassive black holes. We present an analysis of post-…

Assessing the Impact of Post-Quantum Digital Signature Algorithms on Blockchains
The advent of quantum computing threatens the security of traditional encryption algorithms, motivating the development of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). In 2024, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standardized several PQC algorithms, marking an important milestone in the transition toward quantum-resistant security. Blockchain systems fundamentally rely on cryptographic primitives to guarantee data integrity and transaction authenticity. However, widely used algorithms…

An AI dose engine for fast carbon ion treatment planning
Monte Carlo (MC) simulations provide gold-standard accuracy for carbon ion therapy dose calculations but are computationally intensive. Analytical pencil beam algorithms offer speed but reduced accuracy in heterogeneous tissues. We developed the first AI-based dose engine capable of predicting absorbed dose, the alpha and beta parameters for relative biological effectiveness (RBE)- weighted optimisation in carbon ion therapy, delivering MC-level accuracy with drastically reduced computation tim…
