Spring 2024
Most quantum computers are based on elements with many addressable states, yet restrict themselves to a two-level subset, a qubit. In principle, more states could be used in each element to form a d-dimensional qudit, increasing the Hilbert space dimension and thus the computational power of the...

Spring 2024
Integrating gravity into the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics presents a chal- lenge in formulating a unified theory of all interactions. Quantum gravity inherits a principle from quantum field theories. Here, gravity is interpreted as a field. This conceptualization leads to the...

MUTE: A Program for High-Precision Calculations of Underground and Underwater Muon Intensities
DownloadSpring 2024
High-energy atmospheric muons originating from cosmic ray interactions in Earth's atmosphere have played a vital role in the field of astroparticle physics for nearly a century. Because the properties of the muons reflect the primary cosmic rays that produce them, they serve as a unique probe for...

Spring 2024
We investigate the microscopic nature of charge-carrier conduction in nanoscale semiconducting materials using time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS). TRTS uses picosecond pulses of terahertz radiation (0.5-2.5 THz) to explore photoexcited charge-carrier lifetimes and dynamics with...

Spring 2024
Nonlinearities in quantum systems provide some of the most intriguing physics to be exploited for quantum technologies and for quantum simulations. In this thesis, we explore quantum nonlinearities in two different contexts: The first is an experimental demonstration of coherent...

In this thesis, we showcase new high-resolution VLA L-band data of IC 10, a dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group. IC 10 is a target of the Local Group L-band survey (LGLBS) due to its distance, location in the sky, and the fact that it is the only starbursting galaxy in the Local Group. Due...

Searching for Long Lived Particles with ADAM (Auxiliary Detector above the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer)
DownloadFall 2024
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest particle accelerator, delivering proton-proton (p − p) collisions to various experiments, including ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS). The proposed Auxiliary Detector above the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer (ADAM) aims to expand the physics...

Fall 2024
Terahertz-Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (THz-STM) is an exciting combination of THz experiments and STM. In conventional STM, an atomically sharp tip is used to measure the topography of a surface with sub-nanometer spatial resolution. Meanwhile, terahertz spectroscopy experiments can be used to...

This thesis advances seismic imaging and inversion, crucial for identifying hydrocarbon prospects and understanding the Earth's internal structure by retrieving rock parameters from seismic data. Facing challenges such as solution non-uniqueness, slow convergence, and high computational demands,...

Hydraulic fracture monitoring: Integrated analysis of borehole logs, seismic reflectivity, microseismicity, ISIP analysis and PKN modelling.
DownloadFall 2024
Hydraulic fracturing operations in Montney formation present challenges due to anomalous microseismic behavior and inconsistent cloud patterns. Fracture propagation is mostly uni-directional, moving predominantly towards the northeast. However, some stages exhibit behavior contrary to this trend....
