The 1994 discovery of Shor's quantum algorithm for integer factorization-an important practical problem in the area of cryptography-demonstrated quantum computing's potential for real-world impact. Since then, researchers have worked intensively to expand the list of practical problems that quantum algorithms can solve effectively [...]

Durch das Erstarken nicht-demokratischer Kräfte und die zunehmend konfrontativen internationalen Beziehungen gewinnt die sicherheitspolitische Dimension von Wissenschaft stark an Bedeutung. Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler, wissenschaftliche Einrichtungen und die Politik müssen gemeinsam die Verantwortung dafür wahrnehmen, Wissenssicherheit zu stärken. [...]

This open access book aims to provide the reader with some basic insight into the AI Act (REGULATION (EU) 2024/1689) and its relevance for the development of high-risk AI systems. It covers all aspects relevant in a safety plan that should serve as the foundation for developing future safety cases for AI safety systems [...]

This open access book presents a comprehensive guide to MATLAB programming, catering to students, engineers, and researchers seeking to harness MATLAB as a powerful tool for their work.

This open access book presents the concept of Informed Machine Learning and demonstrates its practical use with a compelling collection of applications of this paradigm in industrial and business use cases. These range from health care over manufacturing and material science to more advanced combinations with deep learning, say, in the form of physical informed neural networks. [...]

Bibliotheken stehen mit ihren Erwerbungsentscheidungen in einem ethischen Spannungsfeld: Einerseits gilt es die Meinungs- und Informationsfreiheit zu bewahren und mit ihrem Bestand die pluralistische Gesellschaft abzudecken, andererseits nur geprüfte und weltanschaulich vertretbare Inhalte anzubieten. Bibliotheken sollten sich in diesem Spannungsfeld positionieren. [...]
