We benchmark Quantum Annealing (QA) vs. Simulated Annealing (SA) witha focus on the impact of the embedding of problems onto the differenttopologies of the D-Wave quantum annealers. [...]

Graph partitioning has many applications in power systems, from decentralized state estimation to parallel simulation. Focusing on parallel simulation, optimal grid partitioning minimizes the idle time caused by different simulation times for the sub-networks and their components and reduces the overhead required to simulate the cuts. [...]

Pre-treatment of the proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers is a crucial procedure performed prior to its regular operation. These procedures help in catalyst activation and membrane saturation, thereby, ensuring its optimal performance [...]

Cross-border electricity trading is becoming increasingly important in the European power system. Unscheduled power flows induce additional costs and may lead to congestion and impair power grid operation. [...]

To ensure analytical accuracy in fluorescence microscopy image analysis, robust artifact detection is essential. For large datasets or time-sensitive analyses, automation is advisable, as it not only reduces time and costs but also eliminates human bias and enhances reproducibility. [...]

Sodium–ion batteries are emerging as strong competition to lithium–ion batteries in certain market sections. While these cells do not use critical raw materials, they still feature a liquid electrolyte with all its inherent safety issues, like high flammability and toxicity. [...]
