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 ...
Six-dimensional supergravity : consistency conditions and realizations in string theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
We consider the question of which low-energy effective theories with gravity can be realized as string compactifications. In order to make progress on this question, we consider six-dimensional, A = 1 supersymmetric theories ...
Von Neumann algebras in field theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
In this thesis, I show that modular flows of generic excited states in a quantum field theory can be studied by restricting attention to a special class of states whose associated modular flow can be characterised easily; ...
Probing thermodynamics, correlations, and transport of the 2D Fermi-Hubbard model under a Fermi gas microscope
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Ultracold fermionic atoms in optical lattices offer a pristine platform for quantum simulation of materials with strong electron correlations. With the advent of quantum gas microscopy, we now have the abilities to observe ...
A framework to assess the economic and uncertainty implications for technologies for use in decarbonization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
The accumulation of greenhouse gasses is causing climate change on a global scale. From simulations of warming scenarios, it appears that complete replacements of fossil fuels within the global energy economy must occur ...
Boundaries, disorder and noise in quantum-coherent systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
This thesis aims to understand how quantum-coherent phenomena in solids are affected by the presence of boundaries, disorder, and classical noise. First, we consider surface states in Dirac materials. We show that these ...
A search for light weakly-interacting massive particles with SuperCDMS and applications to neutrino physics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Cosmological and astrophysical evidence indicates that 85% of the matter content of the universe is in the form of non-baryonic dark matter. A large number of experiments are currently undertaking searches for weakly-interacting ...
