(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)One of the largest problems in scanning tunneling microscopy design is noise control. It is the burden of the designer to determine if money should be used to build a floating room for vibration isolation or for top-of-the-line ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis we asses the capabilities of the Crystal Box detector and evaluate its advantages over the Neutral Meson Spectrometer (NMS) detector in a planned experiment at the High Intensity Gamma Source (HI[gamma]S) ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In this thesis, I carried out a simulation study to characterize the measurement of bottom quark flow in relativistic Pb+Pb collisions using the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment. The Hydjet event generator is used to produce ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This thesis presents a series of simulations of quantum computations using the adiabatic algorithm. The goal is to explore the effect of error, using a perturbative approach that models 1-local errors to the Hamiltonian ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)We examine the effect that the shape of the source brightness profile has on the magnitude fluctuations of images in lens systems due to microlensing. We do this by convolving a variety of accretion disk models (including ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1950)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In the following paper, I study the Dirac equation in curved spacetime and solve this equation in two-dimensional spacetime backgrounds discovered by Jackiw et al[4], [5]. I will first discuss flat spacetime and introduce ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The recombination of hydrogen at z ~ 800 - 1800 induces distortions to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) spectrum. We present a careful calculation and analysis of all of the main transitions occurring during this ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1939)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)We present a brief review of the AdS/CFT correspondence and the progress made toward building a realistic gravity/gauge theory duality for a non-relativistic conformal field theory. In particular, we highlight many of the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In this thesis, we present a quantum walk algorithm for spatial search of a periodic lattice. Our algorithm is a variation of the Childs and Goldstone algorithm for spatial search, but begins in a randomly selected local ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1918)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)This thesis consists of parallel experimental and theoretical studies of the rovibrational structure and dynamics of the Si state of acetylene, C2H2 . This small molecule is a prototypical system for the study of cis-trans ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This project aims to reduce measurement uncertainty in atomic clocks by squeezing the collective spin of atoms. Spin-squeezing reduces noise below the standard quantum limit where precision scales as 1/ [square root of] ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This paper examines a new technique for measuring gas composition through the use of a spirometer. A spirometer is high precision pressure transducer which measures the speed of sound in a gas through the emission and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Oscillons are localized solutions of nonlinear field theories that oscillate without dissipation. We have numerically found a family of very long-lived oscillons the spherical ansatz of the SU(2) gauged Higgs model -the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Current understanding of the onset of plasticity during nanoindentation of crystalline materials involves homogenous dislocation nucleation in the crystal underneath the indenter. Through the use of cutting-edge nanoindentation ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)We perform extensive analysis on the physics of L-mode tokamak fusion reactors to identify (1) a favorable parameter space for a large scale steady-state reactor and (2) an operating point for a minimum scale steady-state ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This work considers some implications of viewing gravity as an emergent force. In such a viewpoint, general relativity arises as the thermodynamic limit of some microscopic theory. As such, one would expect the macroscopic ...
