  • Quantum gas microscopy of strongly correlated fermions 
    Cheuk, Lawrence W (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    This thesis describes experiments on ultracold fermionic atoms, and can be divided into two areas. The first concerns spin-orbit coupling; the second concerns quantum gas microscopy. With the use of Raman transitions, ID ...
  • Quantum gates, sensors, and systems with trapped ions 
    Wang, Shannon Xuanyue (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Quantum information science promises a host of new and useful applications in communication, simulation, and computational algorithms. Trapped atomic ions are one of the leading physical systems with potential to implement ...
  • Quantum gravity and topological field theory 
    Lifschytz, Gilad (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
  • Quantum information processing in continuous time 
    Childs, Andrew MacGregor, 1977- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
    Quantum mechanical computers can solve certain problems asymptotically faster than any classical computing device. Several fast quantum algorithms are known, but the nature of quantum speedup is not well understood, and ...
  • Quantum limited optical phase detection in a high power suspended interferometer 
    Lantz, Brian Thomas (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
  • Quantum many body physics in single and bilayer graphene 
    Nandkishore, Rahul (Rahul Mahajan ) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Two dimensional electron systems (2DES) provide a uniquely promising avenue for investigation of many body physics. Graphene constitutes a new and unusual 2DES, which may give rise to unexpected collective phenomena. ...
  • Quantum money and scalable 21-cm cosmology 
    Lutomirski, Andrew (Andrew Michael) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
    This thesis covers two unrelated topics. The first part of my thesis is about quantum money, a cryptographic protocol in which a mint can generate a quantum state that no one can copy. In public-key quantum money, anyone ...
  • Quantum noise and radiation pressure effects in high power optical interferometers 
    Corbitt, Thomas Randall (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
    In recent years, a variety of mechanical systems have been approaching quantum limits to their sensitivity of continuous position measurements imposed by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Most notably, gravitational ...
  • Quantum noise reduction using squeezed states in LIGO 
    Dwyer, Sheila E. (Sheila Elizabeth) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
    Direct detection of gravitational waves will require earth based detectors to measure strains of the order 10-21, at frequencies of 100 Hz, a sensitivity that has been accomplished with the initial generation of LIGO ...
  • Quantum nonlinear optics using cold atomic ensembles 
    Peyronel, Thibault (Thibault Michel Max) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
    The fundamental properties of light derive from its constituent particles, photons, which are massless and do no interact with each other. The realization of interactions between photons could enable a wide variety of ...
  • Quantum operations and codes beyond the Stabilizer-Clifford framework 
    Zeng, Bei, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
    The discovery of quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs) and the theory of fault-tolerant quantum computation (FTQC) have greatly improved the long-term prospects for quantum communication and computation technology. ...
  • Quantum reflection of Bose-Einstein Condensates 
    Pasquini, Thomas A., Jr (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
    Recent developments in atom optics have brought Bose-Einstein condensates within 1 pm of solid surfaces where the atom-surface interactions can no longer be ignored. At long- range, the atom-surface interaction is described ...
  • Quantum signal processing by single-qubit dynamics 
    Low, Guang Hao (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    Quantum computation is the most powerful realizable model of computation, and is uniquely positioned to solve specialized problems intractable to classical computers. This quantum advantage arises from directly exploiting ...
  • Quantum spin transport in paramagnetic systems 
    Greenbaum, Daniel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
    We have studied the transport of magnetization and energy in systems of spins 1/2 on a lattice at high temperature. This work was motivated by recent experiments which observed "spin diffusion" among the dipolar coupled ...
  • Quantum state discrimination with bosonic channels and Gaussian states 
    Tan, Si Hui, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    Discriminating between quantum states is an indispensable part of quantum information theory. This thesis investigates state discrimination of continuous quantum variables, focusing on bosonic communication channels and ...
  • Quantum theory of a massless relativistic surface and a two-dimensional bound state problem 
    Hoppe, Jens (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982)
