Cyber physical systems in the context of Industry 4.0

Abstract: We are currently experiencing the fourth Industrial Revolution in terms of cyber physical systems. These systems are industrial automation systems that enable many innovative functionalities through their networking and their access to the cyber world, thus changing our everyday lives significantly. In this context, new business models, work processes and development methods that are currently unimaginable will arise. These changes will also strongly influence the society and people. Family life, globalization, markets, etc. will have to be redefined. However, the Industry 4.0 simultaneously shows characteristics that represent the challenges regarding the development of cyber-physical systems, reliability, security and data protection. Following a brief introduction to Industry 4.0, this paper presents a prototypical application that demonstrates the essential aspects.

Fundamental measure theory for hard-sphere mixtures revisited: the White Bear version

Abstract: We develop a density functional for hard-sphere mixtures which keeps the structure of Rosenfeld's fundamental measure theory (FMT) whilst inputting the Mansoori–Carnahan–Starling–Leland bulk equation of state. Density profiles for the pure hard-sphere fluid and for some binary mixtures adsorbed at a planar hard wall obtained from the present functional exhibit some improvement over those from the original FMT. The pair direct correlation function c(2) (r) of the pure hard-sphere fluid, obtained from functional differentiation, is also improved. When a tensor weight function is incorporated for the pure system our functional yields a good description of fluid–solid coexistence and of the properties of the solid phase.

Strong coupling of a spin ensemble to a superconducting resonator.

Abstract: We report the realization of a quantum circuit in which an ensemble of electronic spins is coupled to a frequency tunable superconducting resonator. The spins are nitrogen-vacancy centers in a diamond crystal. The achievement of strong coupling is manifested by the appearance of a vacuum Rabi splitting in the transmission spectrum of the resonator when its frequency is tuned through the nitrogen-vacancy center electron spin resonance.
