Exploring new routes to decoherence-free quantum computing; and quantum thermodynamics for fermions
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-23)This thesis has two parts; the first part is a contribution to the research field of quantum measurement in quantum optics while the second part focuses on quantum thermodynamics for fermionic systems. The aim of the ... -
Probing the Unruh and Hawking effects using Unruh-DeWitt detectors
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-18)Quantum field theory is so far the best description of the fundamental laws of Nature, yet it does not fully incorporates gravitation. The first attempt toward unifying the quantum field theory and gravity is a semi-classical ... -
Subspace Control of Nitrogen Vacancy centers at Zero Field
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)Nitrogen-Vacancy centers negatively charged (NV-) are spin-1 objects in diamond. In the absence of a magnetic field, two of its levels are degenerate, which is why a field is often used to lift the degeneracy and allow ...
