How well simulation results can be transferred to the real world depends to a large extent on the sim-to-real gap that therefore should be as small as possible. In this work, this gap is reduced exemplarily for a robot with an omni-directional drive, which is...

Variational quantum circuits build the foundation for various classes of quantum algorithms. In a nutshell, the weights of a parametrized quantum circuit are varied until the empirical sampling distribution of the circuit is sufficiently close to a desired outcome....

Probabilistic methods serve as the underlying frame-work of various machine learning techniques. When using these models, a central problem is that of computing the partition function, whose computation is intractable for many models of interest. Here, we present the...

Given is a set of images, where all images show views of the same area at different points in time and from different viewpoints. The task is the alignment of all images such that relevant information, e.g., poses, changes, and terrain, can be extracted from the fused...
