(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Open string field theory provides an action functional for open string fields, and it is thus a manifestly off-shell formulation of open string theory. The solutions to the equation of motion of open string field theory ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Photonic crystals are recently discovered meta-materials whose optical properties arise from periodic refractive index variations. In this thesis I examine various aspects of photonic crystals including a self-assembled ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In 2000, a composite material was fabricated in the gigahertz range that appeared to exhibit simultaneously negative values of permittivity and permeability. Such substances were known as "left-handed materials," and had ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Neutron scattering, magnetization and transport measurements were performed on single crystals of Bi2Sr2CoO6+[delta] to study the evolution of the magnetic properties as a function of the oxygen content . The oxygen content ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Quantum mechanics has led not only to new physical theories, but also a new understanding of information and computation. Quantum information not only yields new methods for achieving classical tasks such as factoring and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Optical precision measurements have become one of the most important tools in physics to test the fundamental laws and to probe the universe around us. Often such experiments require high finesse cavities, and optical loss ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis, I show some of the results of my research work in the field at the crossing between Cosmology and Particle Physics. The Cosmology of several models of the Physics Beyond the Standard Model is studied. These ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In this thesis, I describe demonstration of various quantum information processing tasks using single-photon two-qubit (SPTQ) quantum logic. As an initial state of those tasks, I used various entangled photon pairs, and I ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Strongly correlated systems present interesting challenges in condensed matter physics. On the one hand, the theoretical work in the last two decades suggests that strong interactions may lead to new phases and phase ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis we study corrections to parton showers in the context of soft collinear effective theory (SCET). Monte Carlo event generators like Pythia or Herwig are heavily used by experimentalists to simulate events and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis, we show for the first time how it is possible to calculated fully from first-principles the diabatic free-energy surfaces of electron-transfer reactions. The excitation energy corresponding to the transfer ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)The main theme of this thesis is branes and orbifolds in string theory, with some digression towards other directions in the final chapters. After reviewing background material on D-branes and orbifolds, along with some ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In this dissertation I study some properties of field theories at finite temperature using the AdS/CFT correspondence. I present a general proof of an "inheritance principle" satisfied by a weakly coupled SU(N) (or U(N)) ...
