    Observational and theoretical perspective of massive star formation 

    Añez López, José Ignacio (Date of defense: 2021-05-05)

    In this thesis, we are aimed to better understand the massive star formation process paying special attention to the role of the magnetic field. To do this, we will carry out a multi-scale analysis with a double approach, ...

    Observational consequences of Black Holes in the Universe: From dark matter candidates to quasars 

    Oncins Fernández, Marc (Date of defense: 2022-06-03)

    The existence of black holes that go beyond the mass given by their stellar origin has been known for some time. On the lower end, a subset of primordial black holes (PBHs) could form all of the dark matter with individually ...

    Primordial black holes and their implications for Inflation 

    Triantafyllou, Nikolaos (Date of defense: 2021-11-12)

    The standard cosmological model, ΛCDM, with the addition of an early inflationary phase, provides an accurate description of a nearly flat and homogeneous Universe, at large scales, which expands at an accelerated ...

    Studies of Black Hole Horizons 

    Martínez Montero, Marina (Date of defense: 2016-10-14)

    This thesis has focused entirely on classical and thermodynamical aspects of black hole physics. We have developed four different projects involving different kinds of black holes. 1 BLACK BRANES IN A BOX Neutral black ...

    Study of b-hadron decays into two hadrons and a photon at LHCb and first observation of b-baryon radiative decays 

    Rives Molina, Vicente José (Date of defense: 2016-11-17)

    This thesis is divided in different sections. After a short introduction about the thesis contents, the theory chapter presents the Standard Model of Particle Physics (SM), with an emphasis on those properties of flavour ...

    Study of the extreme gamma-ray emission from Supernova Remnants and the Crab Pulsar 

    Galindo Fernández, Daniel (Date of defense: 2018-07-27)

    In our Galaxy, supernova remnants and pulsars are the two most numerous populations of non-thermal objects. The goal of this thesis is to study the extreme gamma-ray emission from these two astrophysical objects with Fermi ...

    Vacuum Energy in Quantum Field Theory and Cosmology 

    Gómez Valent, Adrià (Date of defense: 2017-09-12)

    The cosmological constant appearing in Einstein’s equations is a key element of the ΛCDM standard cosmological model. This term performs, effectively, as pure vacuum energy, and is considered the easiest explanation of the ...

    Variational quantum architectures. Applications for noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers 

    Bravo Prieto, Carlos (Date of defense: 2022-06-20)

    Quantum algorithms showing promising speedups with respect to their classical counterparts already exist. However, noise limits the quantum circuit depth, making the practical implementation of many such quantum algorithms ...

    Wave propagation in metamaterials mimicking spacetime geometry: black holes and cosmic strings 

    Fernández Núñez, Isabel (Date of defense: 2018-07-19)

    In physics, it is common to find different phenomena being described by similar equations. A good analogy can make us look at a problem from a different point of view. In that way, ideas may be transferred from one field ...
