The centrifugal distortion coefficients of the molecule hydrogen deuterium oxide
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1951)
Radial equilibrium of toroidal plasmas.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976)
Flexible spectral algorithms for simulating astrophysical and geophysical flows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Large-scale numerical simulations are key to studying the complex physical systems that surround us. Simulations provide the ability to perform simplified numerical experiments to build our understanding of large-scale ...
The ballast resistor : a simple dissipative structure.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976)
High-resolution studies of charge exchange in supernova remnants with Magellan, XMM-Newton, and Micro-X
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Charge exchange, the semi-resonant transfer of an electron from a neutral atom to an excited state in an energetic ion, can occur in plasmas where energetic ions are incident on a cold, at least partially neutral gas. ...
Fabricating Van der Waals heterostructures with air sensitive materials : a study of flake Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂08₊x.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
CHAOS, holography, and other science
(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 ...
21 cm cosmology with optimized instrumentation and algorithms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Precision cosmology has made tremendous progress in the past two decades thanks to a large amount of high quality data from the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), galaxy surveys and other cosmological probes. However, most ...
It's always darkest before the cosmic dawn : early results from novel tools and telescopes for 21 cm cosmology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
21 cm cosmology, the statistical observation of the high redshift universe using the hyperfine transition of neutral hydrogen, has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of cosmology and the astrophysical processes ...
Strong proton-photon interactions at the single-photon level
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Engineering light at the single photon level is a long-standing goal in physics. In this thesis, we investigate optical nonlinearities at the single photon level orchestrated by an optical cavity. We demonstrate an all-optical ...
