Emulation of Anyonic Statistics using High-Fidelity NMR Quantum Information Processing (QIP) Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-30)
NMR control techniques have made many important contributions in developing set of tools for optimal quantum control, ranging from spin echo to dynamical decoupling. Using such optimal quantum control techniques, the ...
Implementations and applications of Renyi entanglement in Monte Carlo simulations of spin models
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-27)
Although entanglement is a well studied property in the context of quantum systems, the ability to measure it in Monte Carlo methods is relatively new.
Through measures of the Renyi entanglement entropy and mutual information ...
In vivo Imaging of Light Induced Intrinsic Optical Signals in the Chicken Retina with a Combined Ultra-High Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography and Electroretinography System
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-15)
The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the intrinsic optical signals (IOSs) with an ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography system (UHROCT). In order to study the retinal IOSs evoked by visible ...
A Study of the Structure and Dynamics of Smectic 8CB Under Mesoscale Confinement
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)
The structure and dynamics of the smectic-A liquid crystal 8CB (4 cyano-4 octylbiphenyl) when sheared and confined to mesoscale gaps (with crossed cylindrical geometry and mica confining surfaces) were studied using a ...
Topology in Fundamental Physics
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-02)
In this thesis I present a mathematical tool for understanding the spin networks that
arise from the study of the loop states of quantum gravity. The spin networks that arise
in quantum gravity possess more information ...
Probing the Environmental Dependence of Star Formation in Satellite Galaxies using Orbital Kinematics
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-03)
(Abridged) Physical processes regulating star formation in satellite galaxies represent an area of ongoing research, but the projected nature of observed coordinates makes separating different populations of satellites ...
Decoherence by a non-Markovian and non-Gaussian Environment
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)
This thesis studies a spin-star model and an open spin-star model. The spin-star model is exactly solvable, and the approximation methods can be applied and compared with the exact solution. As this model is shown to be ...
Supercurrent noise in rough Josephson junctions
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-26)
Josephson junctions are dissipationless elements used notably in superconducting nanocircuits. While being indispensable for the making of superconducting quantum bits, they are plagued by intrinsic noise mechanisms that ...
Geometry of Quantum States from Symmetric Informationally Complete Probabilities
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-06)
It is usually taken for granted that the natural mathematical framework for quantum mechanics is the theory of Hilbert spaces, where pure states of a quantum system correspond to complex vectors of unit length. These vectors ...
Practical Advances in Quantum Error Correction & Communication
(University of Waterloo, 2013-10-25)
Quantum computing exists at the intersection of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering; the main goal of quantum computing is the creation of devices and algorithms which use the properties of quantum mechanics ...
