Fall 2020
As quantum computing research progresses, the need for a quantum network to allow communication between individual processors is becoming apparent. Such a network will require the ability to process, transmit, and store quantum information. Many quantum devices have been investigated, however...

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
Gauge theory provides a simple and robust way in which to describe the underlying symmetries of nature, and the ability to empirically test such theories is of vital importance. Quantum simulators have found an important application in recent decades, in the generation of artificial gauge fields....

Fall 2021
Information transfer between a microwave field and light, also known as microwave-to optical transduction, is a key area of research in quantum communication technology aimed at developing an interface between the superconducting processing devices operating at microwave frequencies and optical...

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...

Spring 2024
Machine-learning techniques are emerging as a valuable tool in experimental physics, and among them, reinforcement learning offers the potential to control high-dimensional, multistage processes in the presence of fluctuating environments. In this experimental work, we apply reinforcement...

Fall 2020
This thesis describes the design, fabrication, morphological overview, optical characterization, and fluid infiltration of ‘open-access’, small mode-volume, and high quality-factor Fabry-Perot micro-cavities in the telecommunication range followed by the simulation of a-Si:H/SiO2-based Bragg...

Spring 2017
In modern quantum technology, different quantum systems have properties that make them effective for some tasks and less beneficial for others. Integrating these systems together into a single quantum hybrid system, exploiting the advantages of each systems strengths while suppressing their...
