(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Atomic ion traps are a promising candidate for scalable quantum information processing. In this thesis, a 674 nm extended cavity diode laser is built to address an optical quantum bit in ⁸⁸Sr⁺ with the goal of testing such ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In studies of the threshold for fault-tolerant quantum error-correction, it is generally assumed that the noise channel at all levels of error-correction is the depolarizing channel. The effects of this assumption on the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)We present an analysis of the magnetic activity, photometry and kinematics of approximately 70000 M dwarfs from the Sloan digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7. This new analysis explores the spatial distribution of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)A pulse height analysis (PHA) system has been installed on the Alcator C-Mod magnetic confinement fusion experiment. The PHA utilizes a Si(Li) detector to measure soft X-rays in the 1-30 keV range with an energy resolution ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In this thesis, I present a new technique for measuring the optical aberrations produced by a telescope, with an eye towards future use of these aberration measurements to align wide-field telescopes. This method determines ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis, publically available data from the French/ESA satellite mission CoRoT, designed to seek out extrasolar planets, was analyzed using MATLAB. CoRoT attempts to observe the transits of these planets across their ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The current analysis of the MITR core radioactivity inventory eliminates unnecessary assumptions made in previous estimates of the inventory, and revises the list of contributory isotopes to include all actinide and fission ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The locomotory behavior of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is often characterized by two distinct gaits - swimming when in fluids and crawling when on surfaces. Swimming is characterized by about a twice greater ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1903)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Using cesium atoms weakly coupled to a low-finesse cavity, we have generated photon pairs that are highly correlated in a non-classical way, as demonstrated by a large violation of the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality G = 760 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis, we model a many body system by a conformal field theory, and calculate the correlation function of a scalar operator in this theory using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We describe numerical techniques for ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Using an ensemble of ultracold Cesium atoms in an optical cavity we demonstrate the efficient storage and retrieval of quantum information in the form of single photons. We use a photon that has scattered into the cavity ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)I present the results of reduction and analysis of two seasons of gravitational lens monitoring using the Very Large Array (VLA) at 8.5 GHz. The campaign monitored five gravitational lenses, GL1608, GL1830, GL1632, GL1838, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The transition to Advanced LIGO introduces new sensitivity requirements for the LIGO interferometers. When light scatters away from the main laser beam, then scatters off the beam tube and returns to the main beam, noise ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In the past decade, advances in precision cosmology have pushed our understanding of the evolving Universe to new limits. Since the discovery of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation in 1965 by Penzias and Wilson, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)We construct an effective action of General Relativity for small excitations from asymptotic transformations and use it to study conformal symmetry in the boundary of AdS3. By requiring finiteness of the boundary effective ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a next-generation ground-based survey telescope whose science objectives demand photometric precision at the 1% level. Recent efforts towards 1% photometry have advocated in-situ ...
