Rydberg Quantum Simulators (RYSQ)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

Quantum Simulators provide new levels of understanding of equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium properties of many-body quantum systems, one of the most challenging problems in physics. The main objective of the RYSQ project is to use Rydberg atoms for quantum simulations, because their outstanding versatility will allow us to perform a great variety of useful quantum simulations, by exploiting diffe ...

Solar Heat Integration Network (SHINE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Large solar heating systems are decisive to cover a major part of European low temperature heat demand by solar energy and therewith to meet European policy aims. However, today only a negligible share of solar heating systems installed in Europe are large units due to manifold technical and socio-economic obstacles. The challenge of solar thermal technology and the overall objective of the propos ...

Sustainable Energy mAnageMent for Underground Stations (SEAM4US)

Start date: Oct 3, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Underground transportation systems are big energy consumers (e.g. 63,1 millions of kWh / year), and have significant impacts on energy consumption at a regional scale. One third of the networks' energy is required for operating the subsystems of metro stations and surroundings, such as ventilation, vertical transportation and lightning. Although a relatively small percentage of energy can be saved ...
