Ultra-Cold CsLi Molecules as a Platform for Quantum Information Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-19)Despite their proposal 40 years ago, quantum computers are still in their infancy, with a panoply of various systems demonstrated as potential methods of quantum information processing. Rydberg atoms are a leading platform, ... -
Ultra-Low latency in Human-machine Interfacing using EMG Onset Detection and Pattern Recognition
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-26)The research and development of advanced human-machine interfaces (HMI) have seen a significant surge during the last decade. These HMIs are gradually started to be integrated into our lives. Electromyography (EMG) is one ... -
Ultra-low temperature dilatometry
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-28)This thesis presents research of two novel magnetic materials, LiHoF4 and Tb2Ti2O7. Experiments were performed at low temperatures and in an applied magnetic field to study thermal expansion and magnetostriction using a ... -
An Ultra-Low-Power 75mV 64-Bit Current-Mode Majority-Function Adder
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-23)Ultra-low-power circuits are becoming more desirable due to growing portable device markets and they are also becoming more interesting and applicable today in biomedical, pharmacy and sensor networking applications because ... -
Ultrafast coincidence characteristics of entangled photons towards entangled two-photon absorption
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-28)Nonlinear optics has had extensive application into a vast array of scientific fields. One such nonlinear process, two-photon absorption (TPA), has had a wildly successful adoption into the field of biological imaging and ... -
Ultrafast Dynamical Studies of Two Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-22)Layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted great attention due to their unique electronic and optical properties. Specifically, single-layer semiconducting TMDCs with their direct band gaps in the visible ... -
Ultrafast Imaging of Molecular Processes in Small Molecules Using Coulomb Explosion Imaging
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-27)Molecular structure and dynamics of three molecules (carbonyl sulfide, acetylene, and ethylene) are examined using various implementations of the Coulomb Explosion Imaging technique. Soft x-rays from the Canadian Light ... -
Ultrafast manipulation of single photons using dispersion and sum-frequency generation
(University of Waterloo, 2016-12-01)Single photons provide a natural platform for quantum communication and quantum networking, as they can be entangled in many degrees of freedom and maintain coherence over long-distance links. However, while their minimal ... -
Ultrafast Metrology in the Quantum Domain
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-15)Single photons are a natural platform for quantum technologies as they support entanglement in many degrees of freedom and are inherently well protected from a detrimental type of noise called decoherence. In order to ... -
