(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis is concerned with the extension of Maxwell's equations to situations far removed from standard electromagnetism, in order to discover novel phenomena. We discuss our contributions to the efforts to describe ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) attempts to detect ripples in the curvature of spacetime using two large scale interferometers. These detectors are several kilometer long Michelson interferometers ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis, Cerenkov radiation of a moving charged particle inside a Left-Handed material (LHM) is studied through both theory and numerical simulations. A LHM is a material whose permittivity and permeability have ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) provide a novel tool for the study of macroscopic quantum phenomena and condensed matter systems. Two of the recent frontiers, quantized vortices and ultracold molecules, are the subject of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Quantum spin liquids, which are quantum ground states of interacting spin systems that break no symmetries, have long been a fascination among the theoretical condensed matter community. After years of experimental searches, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In this thesis I present the design and experimental demonstration of the first photonic band gap (PBG) accelerator at 17.140 GHz. A photonic band gap structure is a one-, two- or three-dimensional periodic metallic and/or ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)We first demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that electromagnetic resonators with high quality factors (Q) can be used to transfer power efficiently over distances substantially larger than the characteristic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)We investigate theoretically five novel resonant and light-guiding photonics phenomena. First, we develop a universal coupled mode theory (CMT) treatment of the freespace scattering of waves from resonant objects. This ...

A numerical investigation of the interaction of the heliosphere with the local interstellar medium (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)I present a new method for numerical simulations of general relativistic systems that eliminates constraint violating modes without the need for constraint damping or the introduction of extra dynamical fields. The method ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Recent technological advances have allowed for the construction of small (on the order of 100-1000 nm) systems of confined electrons called quantum dots. Often kept within semiconductor heterostructures, these systems are ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The effects of general relativity (GR) in astrophysical systems are often difficult to calculate, but they can have important consequences for observables. This thesis considers the impact of previously-ignored GR effects ...
