(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This thesis applies principles of statistical physics and non-equilibrium dynamics to problems of scale, randomness, and growth in plant communities. It includes three projects related by their methodology and distinct in ...

Generation of fiber-coupled, nondegenerate, polarization-entangled photons for quantum communication (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The production of polarization-entangled photon pairs from spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) enables many applications of quantum information processing. In this thesis, we use type-0 phase-matched downconversion ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The Neutralized Transport Experiment (NTX) has been built at the Heavy Ion Fusion Virtual National Laboratory. NTX is the first successful integrated beam system experiment that explores various physical phenomena, and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Clocks are generally considered as quintessential examples of accurate and precise devices. Biological clocks however, are continually subjected to intracellular and extracellular fluctuations that might reduce the fidelity ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) more general lessons on frustrated quantum magnetism. At the end, we demonstrate some new mathematical tools on two other frustrated two-dimensional systems, and summarize our conclusions, with an outlook to remaining ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Helical ribbons with pitch angles of either 11⁰ or 54⁰ self-assemble in a wide variety of quaternary surfactant-phospholipid/fatty acid-sterol-water systems. In all of the systems studied, the thermodynamically stable state ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Actin polymerization plays a critical role in generating propulsive force to drive many types of cell motility. The discovery of actin based motility of the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes has lead to clearer ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1927)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Black holes and compact objects are often surrounded by structures known as accretion disks which consist of ionized plasma. Due to the immense forces present in the disk, interesting and complex magnetic field structures ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In this thesis, I studied the lensed quasar CX2201-3201, which is lensed by an edge-on spiral galaxy. The unusually high tilt of the spiral galaxy provides us with a rare opportunity for mass modeling. In addition, the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)As gravitational lensing is susceptible to all gravitating matter-both baryonic and dark-it provides a potentially clean way to study the mass distribution of galaxy clusters. We are particularly interested in the substructure ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)An important subject in current gravity research concerns the evolution of compact binary systems in which both members spin, particularly in the extreme mass ratio limit. Previous research has suggested that the effect ...
