Enhanced Measurement of Transmission with Quantum States of Light
(2022)
Quantum metrology is the application of quantum mechanics towards the enhancement of
measurements. This is typically achieved through either quantum measurements, such as
photon counting, or using quantum states. In this ...
Nonlinear Processes in Hot Sodium Vapors and Sodium Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates for Entanglement Generation
(2021-08-05)
The primary purpose of this thesis is to study the generation of quantum entanglement via nonlinear processes in hot sodium vapors and ultracold sodium spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. The creation of entanglement can ...
Quantum Effects in Nodal-line Semimetals
(2020)
Topological materials such as Dirac and Weyl semimetals have relativistic quasiparticles at a discrete number of points in the Brillouin zone. Those materials are semimetalas in the bulk but host metallic surface states ...
Search for third generation vector-like leptons with the ATLAS detector
(2022-03-09)
The Standard Model of particle physics provides a concise description of the building blocks of our universe in terms of fundamental particles and their interactions. It is an extremely successful theory, providing a ...
An Ultraviolet Survey of the DA White Dwarf Population of the Galaxy
(2023-08-04)
DA white dwarfs are the most common type of white dwarf in our Galaxy. Hence, it is important to study the DA white dwarf population as thoroughly as possible. In this dissertation, I present our work using the Galaxy ...
Collective Behaviors of Quantum Emitters Coupled to a Structured Photonic Environment
(2023-07)
The study of a quantum system coupled to an environment plays an indispensable role in expanding our understanding of quantum mechanics. It has a broad impact, encompassing fundamental inquiries in quantum physics as well ...
THERMOPHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES AND INFRARED PHOTODETECTORS BASED ON INTERBAND CASCADE STRUCTURES
(2020-05-08)
Mid-infrared (IR) optoelectronic devices form the basis for many practical applications such as thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion, gas sensing, thermal imaging, medical diagnostics, free-space communications, ...
Observation of opposite sign WW with an associated photon production at a center of mass energy of 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
(2022-12)
The analysis presented in this thesis expects to provide the first observation of the opposite sign WW with an associated photon process and to measure its fiducial cross section. The analysis uses proton-proton collision ...
Dust Formation and Destruction in Core Collapse Supernovae Explosions
(2024)
Dust is a crucial component of the Interstellar Medium (ISM) and an important driver in many astrophysical processes. Dust formed from evolved stars increases the metallicity of the ISM, enriching it with heavier elements. ...
Characterization and Control of Spatial Correlations in Entangled Twin Beams
(2024-05-10)
Our understanding and ability to manipulate quantum correlations in non-classical states of light
will be a determining factor in realizing the next generation of quantum technologies. Over the
last several decades, we ...
