Mathematics at Work: Numerical Simulations in ABB research

Martina Busetto (Computational Scientist at ABB Corporate Research)

Join us for an insight on the vital role of mathematics in industry. Discover how mathematical models and numerical methods help fostering innovation, optimizing processes, and tackling complex problems across various sectors. Through real-world examples from ABB research on modelling and simulation of circuit breakers, witness firsthand how mathematics fuels progress and drives success in industrial applications. Do not miss the opportunity to learn how we help shaping the future of innovation!

Circuit Breakers : The Gatekeepers of Electricity

Kunal Soni (Scientist at Hitachi Energy)

In this talk we will delve into the journey of electricity right from source to our homes. This journey which happens along an electrical grid is composed of various checkpoints called 'Circuit Breakers'. When things go wrong, these circuit breakers have the most daunting task - extinguish a lightning in the fraction of a second! And we will see together, how they do that!

Von Bier zu Bits: Ein Quantencomputer-Crashkurs

Simon Storz (Postdoctoral Researcher at ETH Zürich)

Zur Zeit werden jedes Jahr enorme Ressourcen in den Bau von Quantencomputern gesteckt, die einst Berechnungen durchführen können sollen, die heute unmöglich sind. Doch wozu sind Quantencomputer wirklich nützlich? Und wie funktionieren sie? In dieser Präsentation reisen wir zusammen in die Kellerräume der ETH Zürich, wo zur Zeit an solchen Maschinen getüftelt wird. Ich gebe eine einfache Einführung in die neue Technologie und beantworte die wichtigsten Fragen.
