  • The interpretation of coordinates in general relativity. 
    Jaffe, Jack (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1966)
  • Measurement of helium isotopic composition in cosmic rays with AMS-02 
    Behlmann, Matthew Daniel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    The isotopic composition of helium in cosmic ray fluxes provides valuable information about cosmic ray propagation through the Galaxy, which is of particular interest to indirect dark matter searches. Helium-3, mainly a ...
  • Controlling ultracold fermions under a quantum gas microscope 
    Okan, Melih (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    This thesis presents the experimental work on building a quantum gas microscope, employing fermionic 40K atoms in an optical lattice, and precision control of the atoms under the microscope. This system works as a natural ...
  • Quantum electronic transport in atomically layered topological insulators 
    Fatemi, Valla (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    The merger of topology and symmetry established a new foundation for understanding the physics of condensed matter, beginning with the notion of topological insulators (TIs) for electronic systems. For the time-reversal ...
  • Practical fault-tolerant quantum computation 
    Yoder, Theodore J (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    For the past two and a half decades, a subset of the physics community has been focused on building a new type of computer, one that exploits the superposition, interference, and entanglement of quantum states to compute ...
