Quantum computers have operated under a significant limitation: They can run only one program at a time. These million-dollar machines demand exclusive use even for the smallest tasks, leaving much of their expensive and fast-running hardware idle and forcing researchers to endure long lines.Quantum computers have operated under a significant limitation: They can run only one program at a time.

Maxim Van de Wynckel, a researcher at the WISE lab of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), successfully defended his Ph.D. in computer science on 30 June 2025. Over six years, he explored a major challenge facing many modern technologies: How can indoor positioning systems—which determine the location of people or objects inside buildings—work better together?Maxim Van de Wynckel, a researcher at the WISE lab of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), successfully defended his Ph.D. in computer science on 30 June 2025.

For all their impressive capabilities, large language models (LLMs) often fall short when given challenging new tasks that require complex reasoning skills.For all their impressive capabilities, large language models (LLMs) often fall short when given challenging new tasks that require complex reasoning skills.[#item_full_content]
