The properties of mixtures of Bose-Einstein condensates at T=0 have been investigated using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods and Density Functional Theory (DFT) with the aim of understanding physics ...
Sánchez Baena, Juan (Date of defense: 2020-12-14)
The main goal of this thesis is the computation of ground state properties of quantum many-body systems under Spin Orbit coupling (SOC) interactions out of the ultradilute regime. We present two approaches ...
Argüello-Luengo, Javier (Date of defense: 2022-10-21)
Atomic and optical physics are two fields closely connected by a shared range of energy scales, and the interactions between them. Atoms represent the most fundamental components of matter, and interactions ...
Liu, Xinyao (Date of defense: 2022-07-27)
One of the significant challenges of modern science is to track and image chemical reactions as they occur. The molecular movies, the precise spatiotemporal tracking of changes in their molecular dynamics, ...

(English) Mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy in the wavelength region between 2 and 20 µm is a powerful technique to identify vibrational absorption signatures of molecules, finding in this way extensive ...
Rivas Reguera, José Carlos (Date of defense: 2016-01-01)
Magnetic fusion is a long term, worldwide research activity. Plans are increasingly ambitious, cooperation is progressing, and goals seem to be closer every year. ITER reactor is being built, and several ...
Wolter, Benjamin (Date of defense: 2018-02-26)
One of the grand challenges of modern science is to image chemical reactions and biological functions while they are taking place. To realize these molecular movie, experimental techniques need to resolve ...
Latorre Ibars, Ernest (Date of defense: 2021-02-19)
Fundamental processes in development and physiology are determined by the three-dimensional architecture of epithelial sheets. How these sheets deform and fold into complex structures has remained ...
Guenther, Nils Eric (Date of defense: 2021-09-08)
At sufficiently low temperatures, fluids of bosonic particles may undergo a phase transition, below which a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) forms. The BEC is one of the most fundamental concepts in ...
Herrera, Yago (Date of defense: 2021-12-15)
The study of stellar winds (SW) in the context of X-ray bursts (XRB) performed in this thesis has two main motivating issues. The first is whether or not the heavy elements produced from nucleosynthesis ...
