Analytical Methods in Mesoscopic Systems
(2012-10-16)The propsect of designing technologies around the quantum behavior of mesoscopic devices is enticing. This thesis present several tools to facilitate the process of calculating and analyzing the quantum properties of such ... -
Diamond nanophotonic quantum networks
(2021-03-31)A coherent interface between optical photons and long-lived matter qubits can form the basis for a broad range of quantum technologies. I will describe the realization of such an interface using inversion-symmetric ... -
Experimental Realization of Improved Magnetic Sensing and Imaging in Ensembles of Nitrogen Vacancy Centers in Diamond
(2020-09-10)Nitrogen-vacancy color centers in diamond constitute a leading quantum sensing platform, with particularly diverse applications in magnetometry. The negatively-charged NV center (NV) exhibits a long-lived electronic ... -
Light-Shell Theory Foundations
(2014-06-06)We study the motivation and groundwork for the construction of a Light-Shell Effective Theory, an effective field theory for describing the matter emerging from high-energy collisions and the accompanying radiation. We ... -
New avenues in circuit QED: from quantum information to quantum sensing
(2022-06-06)One of the key elements in circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) is the superconducting microwave resonator, which can enable strong coupling to and between nanoscale quantum systems, and as a result has emerged as an ... -
Quantum nonlinear optics: controlling few-photon interactions
(2021-03-05)Most phenomena around us can be explained by classical optics since photons interact weakly with atoms. When the interaction is strong enough where one photon affects the properties of other photons, we go to the regime ...
