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 ...
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, ...
Bareza, Nestor Jr. (Date of defense: 2022-11-07)
(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 ...
Julià Farré, Sergi (Date of defense: 2022-06-28)
The last decades have witnessed impressive technical advances in all the fields of quantum science, including solid-state systems or atomic, molecular, and optical physics, allowing one to control ...
