Magnetic properties of an isolated quantum dot
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
A microfabricated solid oxide fuel cell
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
With the ever-increasing ubiquity of mobile consumer electronic devices comes the rising demand for portable electric power. Current battery technology gives a very modest energy return per weight or volume. Hydrocarbons ...
Instrumentation and algorithms for electrostatic inverse problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
This thesis describes tracking objects with low-level electric fields. A physical model is presented that describes the important interactions and the required mathematical inversions. Sophisticated hardware used to perform ...
Cavity filtered injection locking for large angle atomic interferometry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Feasibility studies for quantum computation with spectral hole burning media
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
In this thesis I consider a scheme for quantum computation in which quantum bits (qubits) are stored in individual spectral holes of an in homogeneously broadened medium, such as a cryogenically cooled crystal of Pr:Y2 SiO ...
Protection and fusing in advanced automotive electrical environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Production of holographic optical interconnection elements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Design of a high index contrast arrayed waveguide grating
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) are useful structures for the implementation of wavelength division multiplexing. The AWG consists of an input splitter, a dispersive waveguide array which creates the wavelength demultiplexing ...
Quantum mechanics on phase space : geometry and motion of the Wigner distribution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
We study the Wigner phase space formulation of quantum mechanics and compare it to the Hamiltonian picture of classical mechanics. In this comparison we focus on the differences in initial conditions available to each ...
A spread spectrum sonar with noise-locked loop-based entrainment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
