Hsieh, Chung Yun (Date of defense: 2022-10-10)
(English) As one of our most successful theories, quantum theory has greatly strengthened our understanding of nature and significantly advanced technologies. Specifically, quantum effects provide ...
Troullinou, Charikleia (Date of defense: 2022-09-29)
(English) This thesis describes experiments that employ squeezed light to improve the performance of a sensitive optically-pumped magnetometer (OPM). The squeezed light source employs parametric ...
Dawid Lekowska, Anna Maria (Date of defense: 2022-09-20)
(English) Quantum many-body physics poses a substantial computational challenge resulting from the exponential growth of the wave function complexity and many non-trivial correlations encoded in it. ...
Bianchet, Lorena Cecilia (Date of defense: 2022-02-25)
In this thesis, a single-atom trap in a "Maltese cross'' geometry (MCG) was designed, built up and characterized. A MCG atom trap uses four in-vacuum lenses to achieve four-directional high-numerical-aperture ...
Casamor Vidal, Max (Date of defense: 2022-10-11)
The combined use of thermal-hydraulics system with sub-channel codes (TH-TH coupling) in transient analysis provides an integrated tool with the capability of modelling in detail both the core ...
Dornelles, Leonardo dalla Porta (Date of defense: 2022-10-07)
The brain, a natural adaptive system, can generate a rich dynamic repertoire of spontaneous activity even in the absence of stimulation. The spatiotemporal pattern of this spontaneous activity is ...
Elu Etxano, Ugaitz (Date of defense: 2022-05-03)
In the last decades, intense carrier-envelope-phase-stable (CEP-stable) and near-single-cycle, coherent mid-infrared sources have become charming for a variety of applications in physics, chemistry and ...
Roque Fernández, Pablo Manuel de (Date of defense: 2022-10-18)
(English) Nanophotonics can be defined as the science and technology studying the control optical fields at the nanoscale and their interaction with matter. In order to spatially control such fields we ...
Kvashin, Nikolai (Date of defense: 2022-11-16)
(English) The mechanical properties of structural materials, which are naturally polycrystalline, is defined by a number of physical processes that take place at different time and space scales. On ...
Álvarez Farré, Xavier (Date of defense: 2022-09-05)
(English) Continuous enhancement in hardware technologies enables scientific computing to advance incessantly and reach further aims. Since the start of the global race for exascale high-performance ...
