(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This thesis focuses on the relationship between black holes in holography, chaos in strongly-coupled quantum systems, and the computational complexity of holographic states. By directly considering the time evolution of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Chapter 1 introduces the subject of photonic crystals and reviews the basic physical principles underlying the formation of a band gap and the creation of localized defect modes. Proposed applications, fabrication techniques, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Using the CMS detector at the LHC, a quantitative study of jet energy loss and angular deflection inside the high energy-density medium formed in PbPb collisions is made. Photons are used to measure the initial state of a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis nanometer scale charge sensors are used to study charge transport in two solid state systems: Lateral GaAs quantum dots and hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). In both of these experiments we use ...

Charged hadron transverse momentum spectra in Au+Au and d+Au collisions at 200 GeV per nucleon pair (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) collides Au ions at a center of mass energy of 200 GeV per nucleon pair, which produces the most energetic collisions yet seen in the laboratory. RHIC has also collided proton ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Graphene, a one-atom-thick form of carbon, has emerged in the last few years as a fertile electron system, highly promising for both fundamental research and applications. In this thesis we consider several topics in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In this thesis, we study charge transport in nanopatterned arrays of PbS colloidal quantum dots using conventional two-probe measurements and an integrated charge sensor. PbS dots are synthesized in solution with an organic ...
