In the recent decades, there has been a surge of interest in the wide array of emergent phenomena found in strongly correlated materials. Understanding the inner workings of this type of systems is a ...
Sanz Sánchez, Julio (Date of defense: 2020-02-10)
This thesis reports the experimental study of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with tunable interactions, which are exploited as a platform to perform quantum simulation of many-body quantum ...
Prettico, Giuseppe (Date of defense: 2013-01-18)
Quantum Information Theory (QIT) studies how information can be processed and transmitted when encoded on quantum states. Practically, it can be understood as the effort to generalize Classical Information ...
Vidas, Luciana (Date of defense: 2019-05-02)
The physics of transition-metal oxides presents a challenge to our current understanding of condensed matter physics. The main difficulty arises from a competition between electron-electron and ...
Taghipour, Nima (Date of defense: 2023-03-21)
(English) Colloidal semiconductors quantum dots (CQDs) have emerged as a promising solutionprocessed gain material that can be engineered via low-cost and scalable chemical techniques. Owing to quantum ...
Giulio, Valerio di (Date of defense: 2023-04-12)
(English) Among the fundamental constituents of matter, charged particles such electrons and positrons are leading protagonists in physical phenomena associated with small (~ meV) and high (~ MeV) energy ...
Ortiz de Orruño Cuesta, Unai (Date of defense: 2023-04-21)
(English) Nowadays, being able to precisely characterize nanoparticles is of key relevance in a wide range of scenarios. For instance, chemical and pharmaceutical industries often rely in particle-sizing ...
Dubost, Brice (Date of defense: 2012-11-26)
(English) The study of quantum light-matter interaction with atomic ensembles is an active research area. This kind of system allows fundamental studies on measurement in the context of continuous ...
Behbood, Naeimeh (Date of defense: 2015-04-17)
(English) This thesis describes the generation of macroscopic spin singlets in a cold atomic ensemble by performing quantum non-demolition measurement. Toward this goal we have implemented a realtime ...
Alves, Natália Domingues (Date of defense: 2023-06-16)
(English) This thesis studies, using simulation and experiment, the motional dynamics of a single atom in an optical dipole trap. The optical dipole trap we study is a single-beam, red-detuned, ...
