  • Classification of base geometries in F-theory 
    Wang, Yinan, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    F-theory is a powerful geometric framework to describe strongly coupled type JIB supcrstring theory. After we compactify F-theory on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds of various dimensions, we produce a large number ...
  • Quantum enhanced sensing and communication 
    Zhuang, Quntao (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    Quantum phenomena such as entanglement and superposition enable performance beyond what classical physics can provide in tasks of computing, communication and sensing. Quantum sensing aims to enhance the measurement precision ...
  • Aspects of highly-entangled quantum matter : from exotic phases, to quantum computation, and dynamics 
    Vijay, Ksheerasagar (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    We explore three incarnations of highly-entangled quantum matter: as descriptions of exotic, gapped phases in three spatial dimensions, as resources for fault-tolerant quantum computation, and as the by-product of the ...
  • Ultracold ²³Na⁶Li molecules in the triplet ground state 
    Rvachov, Timur Michael (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    This thesis describes experiments in spectroscopy and formation of triplet ²³Na⁶Li molecules from an initial mixture of ultracold ²³Na and ⁶Li. The production of quantum degenerate molecules with long-range dipolar ...
  • Listening to the Universe through indirect detection 
    Rodd, Nicholas Llewellyn (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    Indirect detection is the search for the particle nature of dark matter with astrophysical probes. Manifestly, it exists right at the intersection of particle physics and astrophysics, and the discovery potential for dark ...
