Cumulative effects in quantum algorithms and quantum process tomography
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
This thesis comprises three results on quantum algorithms and quantum process tomography. In the first section, I create a tool that uses properties of the quantum general adversary bound to upper bound the query complexity ...
Inelastic transport In molecular junctions from first principles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
This work is dedicated to development of a first-principle approach to study electron-vibration interactions on quantum transport properties. In the first part we discuss a general implementation for inelastic transport ...
Boosting (in)direct detection of dark matter
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
In this thesis, I study the expected direct and indirect detection signals of dark matter. More precisely, I study three aspects of dark matter; I use hydrodynamic simulations to extract properties of weakly interacting ...
Neutral Pion Double Helicity Asymmetry in Polarized Proton-Proton Collisions at [the square root of sigma]=200 GeV at STAR
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
One of the primary goals of the spin physics program at the STAR experiment is to constrain the polarized gluon distribution function, [delta]g(X,Q²), by measuring the double longitudinal spin asymmetry, ALL, of various ...
Vignettes in string theory : using geometry to probe the worldsheet and strongly coupled physics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
In this thesis, we construct hybrid linear models in which the chiral anomaly of a gauged linear sigma model is canceled by the classical anomaly of a gauged WZW model. Semi-classically, this corresponds to fibering the ...
Radio-frequency spectroscopy of ultracold atomic Fermi gases
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
This thesis presents experiments investigating the phase diagram of ultracold atomic Fermi gases using radio-frequency spectroscopy. The tunability of many experimental parameters including the temperature, the interparticle ...
On quantum randomness and quantum resources
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
This thesis is consisted of two independent parts. The first part is on entanglement, quantum randomness, and complexity beyond scrambling. More explicitly, we study the Rényi entanglement entropies of quantum designs. The ...
Scalable perturbation and measurement of biological function via molecular encoding
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Methods are presented for optical genetic screens and lineage tracking and recovery. Pooled optical screens use pooling and molecular encoding to conduct image-based genetic screens at large scales with reduced biological ...
Searching for dark matter with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions containing a single high-pT photon and large E miss/t
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
In this thesis, we present a search for dark matter in final states containing a high- PT photon and large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at [square root of s] = 13 TeV using data collected by the ...
NMR studies of localization and out-of-time ordered commutators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
This thesis presents a study of many-spin dynamics using a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) simulator. A novel correlation metric was designed and experimentally measured in a solid state spin chain system to investigate ...
