  2. 1. Geometric and Topological Phases with Applications to Quantum Computation

    Author : Marie Ericsson; Ignacio Cirac; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; geometric phases; topological phases; quantum computation; mixed states; completely positive maps; Fysik; Physics; Fysik; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Quantum phenomena related to geometric and topological phases are investigated. The first results presented are theoretical extensions of these phases and related effects. Also experimental proposals to measure some of the described effects are outlined. READ MORE

  4. 2. Investigating Hydrogenous Behavior of Zintl Phases : Interstitial Hydrides, Polyanionic Hydrides, Complex Hydrides, Oxidative Decomposition

    Author : Verina Kranak; Ulrich Häussermann; Gordon Miller; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Zintl phases; Hydrogenous Zintl phases; Polyanionic Zintl phases; Interstitial Zintl phases; Inorganic Chemistry; oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis is an investigation into the hydrogenous behavior of Zintl phases. Zintl phases are comprised of an active metal (i.e alkali, alkaline earth, and rare earth) and a p-block element. The discussion gives an overview of the influence hydrogen affects the electronic and geometric structure of Zintl phases and subsequent properties. READ MORE

  5. 3. Entanglement and Quantum Computation from a Geometric and Topological Perspective

    Author : Markus Johansson; Marie Ericsson; Jens Eisert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum Information; Geometric Phases; Topological Phases; Entanglement; Quantum Computation;

    Abstract : In this thesis we investigate geometric and topological structures in the context of entanglement and quantum computation.A parallel transport condition is introduced in the context of Franson interferometry based on the maximization of two-particle coincidence intensity. READ MORE

  6. 4. Optimization of Geometric Robustness of Aero Structures in Early Design Phases

    Author : Anders Forslund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geometry Assurance; Uncertainty Quantification; Robust Design; Simulation; Geometric Variation;

    Abstract : Every manufactured product is different. This variation can be detrimental to quality and product functionality. In an aerospace context, this variation may even result in serious threats to the safety and reliability of aircraft. However, it is not the variation itself that is harmful, but the effects it has on functionality. READ MORE

  7. 5. Quantum mechanical models of nanomagnetism in transition metal clusters and diluted magnetic semiconductors

    Author : Olof Strandberg; Matematisk fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diluted magnetic semiconductors; Mn As; Ga; transition metal clusters; magnetic anisotropy; Nanomagnetism; quantum geometric phases; Chern numbers; effective spin Hamiltonians; dimers;

    Abstract : This dissertation investigates nanomagnetism in small transition metal clusters and the diluted magnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As. We derive quantum mechanical models aimed at a realistic description of the low energy physics in these systems. READ MORE
