(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Magnetic reconnection is the process by which the magnetic topology evolves in collisionless plasmas. This phenomenon is fundamental to a broad range of astrophysical processes such as stellar flares, magnetospheric ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The methods of atomic physics offer a unique opportunity to study strongly correlated many body systems. It is possible to confine BECs in periodic optical lattices to form an analog of a solid state system. The study of ...

Making better binary models and modeling distorted black holes using black hole perturbation theory (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In this thesis, I discuss the application and development of black hole perturbation theory both from an observational standpoint via gravitational waves and also tidal distortions of black hole horizons. The promise of ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)A dilute gas Bose-Einstein condensate was probed and manipulated by off-resonant laser beams. Spontaneous and stimulated off-resonant light scatterings were studied experimentally. Stimulated, two-photon Bragg scattering ...

Many-body entanglement in gapped quantum systems : representation, classification, and application (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Entanglement is a special form of quantum correlation that exists among quantum particles and it has been realized that surprising things can happen when a large number of particles are entangled together. For example, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In this thesis, we discuss the characterization and application of quantum many-body entanglements. We try to establish a non-local "order parameter" description of different patterns of many-body entanglement, which are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The human body is composed primarily of dielectric tissue with spatially varying permittivity and conductivity. Traditional MRI does not measure these properties. Instead, the conductivity of the patient is a nuisance, ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The importance of heavy stable charged (HSCP) particles lies in the exploration of extensions to the standard model. Extensions of the standard model attempt to solve current problems in the standard model such as the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Clusters of galaxies are useful probes of cosmology because they are the most massive bound systems and fair representatives of the matter composition of the universe. For clusters to be used as tracers of cosmic evolution, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)We examine possible configurations of stellar triple systems that give rise to "horseshoe orbits" in the smallest body. Several configurations are tested according to the initial parameters of mass for each of three bodies ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Many astronomical sources produce transient phenomena at radio frequencies, but the transient sky at low frequencies (< 300 MHz) remain relatively unexplored. Blind surveys with new widefield radio instruments are filling ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This thesis reports on our investigation of the uses of matter waves to probe many-body targets. We begin by discussing decoherence in an atom interferometer, in which a free gas acts as a refractive medium for a matter ...
