Fraunhofer-Publica
The Fraunhofer-Publica has been successfully documenting the research results of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft for over 30 years. The platform enables the collaborative linking of research-relevant objects and disseminates within the international scientific community.
The Fraunhofer-Publica thus fulfils its responsibility to promote the transfer of knowledge and know-how to industry and society.
Categories
Research outputs
As an application-oriented research organisation, Fraunhofer aims to conduct highly innovative and solution-oriented research - for the benefit of society and to strengthen the German and European economy.
Projects
Fraunhofer is tackling the current challenges facing industry head on. By pooling their expertise and involving industrial partners at an early stage, the Fraunhofer Institutes involved in the projects aim to turn original scientific ideas into marketable products as quickly as possible.
Researchers
Scientific achievement and practical relevance are not opposites - at Fraunhofer they are mutually dependent. Thanks to the close organisational links between Fraunhofer Institutes and universities, science at Fraunhofer is conducted at an internationally first-class level.
Institutes
The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is the leading organisation for applied research in Europe. Institutes and research facilities work under its umbrella at various locations throughout Germany.

PublicationSuccess and Challenges with Models for Cardiac Translational Research( 2024)Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are a significant milestone in modern biology. hiPSCs, being capable of differentiating into any cell type, provide access to all cell types of the human body at an almost infinite scale. This is particularly important for cells, such as human cardiomyocytes, that cannot be isolated from primary tissue in the necessary quantities and quality. In a nine-year process, hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes were successfully validated in several blinded multisite studies for their use in cardiac safety pharmacology and were finally included in the ICH guidelines. However, the immature properties of hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes limit the study of drug effects on a few but physiologically relevant modes of action. This has spurred efforts to mature hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and develop more relevant cardiac 3D models and in vitro assays for improved cardiac translational research.

PublicationCutting multi-control quantum gates with ZX calculus( 2023)Circuit cutting, the decomposition of a quantum circuit into independent partitions, has become a promising avenue towards experiments with larger quantum circuits in the noisy-intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) era. While previous work focused on cutting qubit wires or two-qubit gates, in this work we introduce a method for cutting multi-controlled Z gates. We construct a decomposition and prove the upper bound O(62K) on the associated sampling overhead, where K is the number of cuts in the circuit. This bound is independent of the number of control qubits but can be further reduced to O(4.52K) for the special case of CCZ gates. Furthermore, we evaluate our proposal on IBM hardware and experimentally show noise resilience due to the strong reduction of CNOT gates in the cut circuits.

PublicationBarkhausen-Effect and Eddy Current Testing for the Characterization of the Microstructure and Residual Stress States with Local Resolution( 1997)The IZFP has developed a microscope based on micromagnetic and eddy-current techniques. By using miniaturized inductive transducers with some tenths of a µm slit width, speciments are scanned in down to one µm increments. Concering the micromagnetic techniques, the magnetic Barkhausen noise is measured, which is mainly sensitive to microstructure and residual stress states. The applied eddy-current technqiue is sensitive to microscopic defects, local changes in permeability and conductivity.

PublicationComputer-aided cutting-edge research on history for home edutainment and exploratory learning( 2012)Webbles are the most recent form of IntelligentPad. Webbles are objects in a browser window that allow for direct manipulation by drag and drop. One may pick up any Webble and move it over any other one for operational combination. The new Webble is plugged into the previous one and data between them flow through predefined slots. Human users may freely reconfigure the slot connections of Webbles as necessary. Within the authors' adaptive interactive dynamic atlas project, historians have the historical data literally at their fingertips. Historical data have some visual appearance on the screen and may be directly manipulated by actions such as drag and drop. The professional research interface is accessible via any Web browser and, thus, allows for participation of a wide audience. Contemporary technologies are bringing science to private homes where families may playfully explore history in manifold ways.
