(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 ...
Tirrito, Emanuele (Date of defense: 2020-07-13)
For a long time, quantum states of matter have been successfully characterized by the Ginzburg-Landau formalism that was able to classify all different types of phase transitions. This view changed ...
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 ...
Sánchez Peacham, Daniel Alexander (Date of defense: 2020-01-27)
The continuous development of laser sources delivering ultra-short light pulses underpins much of the current progress in experimental science, particularly in the domain of physics concerned with ...
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. ...
Regmi, Raju (Date of defense: 2017-11-10)
Single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy has revolutionized the field of biophysical sciences by enabling visualization of dynamic molecular interactions and nanoscopic features with high spatiotemporal ...
Palacios Álvarez, Silvana (Date of defense: 2017-07-31)
This work reports on the construction of a new-generation system capable to create single-mode spinor Bose-Einstein condensates of 87Rb, and non-destructively probe them using optical Faraday rotation. ...
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 ...
Cousin, Seth Lucien (Date of defense: 2016-09-12)
Attosecond science investigates the realm of processes that happen in fleetingly short passages of time. One attosecond to one second, is what one second is to the age of the universe! Advances in lasers ...
Akgul, M. Zafer (Date of defense: 2021-02-11)
Due to the continuously increasing energy demand and the environmental concerns about climate changes raised by international community, alternative energy resources have been put under intense investigation ...
