Lectures on Symmetry-Assisted Computation
(2024)Scientific problems have an internal "beauty", called, referred to, precisely speaking, as their "symmetry". The symmetry arises, often, from the fact that the scientific problem refers to an object (a molecule, a crystal) and the object itself has some "symmetry" elements, but in more abstract situations, such as those arising in particle physics and quantum technologies, symmetry is often the only known (and relevant!) fact about the ...Monograph -
Splitterpoetologie

Wie fügen sich daraus Textmotive und Bedeutungssplitter zu einem narrativen Muster zusammen, und wie verändert sich ...Monograph -

Vom Verschwinden der Technik
(2024)Wohin gehen Technologien, wenn sie verschwinden und weder Zukunft noch Anwendung haben? Lässt sich ihr Verschwinden überhaupt erzählen? Vielleicht als eine Geschichte im Rückwärtsgang? Oder bloss als grosse Aufräumaktion, bei der Abriss, Demontage und Entsorgung die Hauptrolle spielen? Die hier zusammengestellten Versuche zeigen, wie sich starke Verbindungen wieder auflösen können, warum sogar höchst prominente Technologien plötzlich ...Monograph -
