Physical insights from the aspect ratio dependence of turbulence in negative triangularity plasmas

In this work, we study the impact of aspect ratio A = R 0 / r (the ratio of major radius R 0 to minor radius r) on the confinement benefits of negative triangularity (NT) plasma shaping. We use high-fidelity flux tube gyrokinetic GENE simulations and consi ...

A Cavity-Microscope for Quantum Simulations with Locally-Controllable All-to-All Interactions

Nick Jacob Sauerwein

This thesis presents the development, construction, and benchmark of an experimental platform that combines cold fermionic 6Li atoms with locally controllable light-matter interactions. To enable local control, a new device, the cavity-microscope, was crea ...

Bootstrapping amplitudes of scalar particles

Jan Krzysztof Marucha

Quantum Field Theories are a central object of interest of modern physics, describing fundamental interactions of matter. However, current methods give limited insight into strongly coupling theories. S-matrix bootstrap program, described in this thesis, a ...

Field-controlled multicritical behavior and emergent universality in fully frustrated quantum magnets

Bruce Normand

Phase transitions in condensed matter are a source of exotic emergent properties. We study the fully frustrated bilayer Heisenberg antiferromagnet to demonstrate that an applied magnetic field creates a previously unknown emergent criticality. The quantum ...

Density-wave ordering in a unitary Fermi gas with photon-mediated interactions

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Victor Youri Helson, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Hideki Konishi, Timo Zwettler, Elvia Colella

A density wave (DW) is a fundamental type of long-range order in quantum matter tied to self-organization into a crystalline structure. The interplay of DW order with superfluidity can lead to complex scenarios that pose a great challenge to theoretical an ...

Learning Physics-Consistent Particle Interactions

David Simon Kammer, Zhichao Han, Olga Fink

Interacting particle systems play a key role in science and engineering. Access to the governing particle interaction law is fundamental for a complete understanding of such systems. However, the inherent system complexity keeps the particle interaction hi ...

Many-body physics with strongly interacting fermions coupled to light

Victor Youri Helson

This thesis reports on the realization of the first experiments conducted with superfluid, strongly interacting Fermi gases of 6Li coupled to the light field of an optical cavity. In the scope of existing ultracold atomic platforms, this is the first time ...

Correlation properties of a one-dimensional repulsive Bose gas at finite temperature

Riccardo Rota

We present a comprehensive study shedding light on how thermal fluctuations affect correlations in a Bose gas with contact repulsive interactions in one spatial dimension. The pair correlation function, the static structure factor, and the one-body density ...

THE PHASE TRANSITION FOR PLANAR GAUSSIAN PERCOLATION MODELS WITHOUT FKG

Alejandro Rivera

We develop techniques to study the phase transition for planar Gaussian percolation models that are not (necessarily) positively correlated. These models lack the property of positive associations (also known as the 'FKG inequality'), and hence many classi ...

Optical manipulation of plasmonic nanoparticles: Applications in surface chemistry and nano-optics

Jeonghyeon Kim

Optical tweezers are devices that can manipulate nano- and microparticles using a laser. The principle of optical tweezers is to apply a force to an object using the momentum of light. This force is very small, but it is sufficient to move things in the mi ...

Grand canonical Brownian dynamics simulations of adsorption and self-assembly of SAS-6 rings on a surface

Pierre Gönczy, Niccolo Banterle

The Spindle Assembly Abnormal Protein 6 (SAS-6) forms dimers, which then self-assemble into rings that are critical for the nine-fold symmetry of the centriole organelle. It has recently been shown experimentally that the self-assembly of SAS-6 rings is st ...

Metastability of the Potts Ferromagnet on Random Regular Graphs

Jean Bernoulli Ravelomanana

We study the performance of Markov chains for the q-state ferromagnetic Potts model on random regular graphs. While the cases of the grid and the complete graph are by now well-understood, the case of random regular graphs has resisted a detailed analysis ...

Shafranov shift correction to the Furth-Yoshikawa scaling of tokamak adiabatic compression

Olivier Sauter

In 1970, Furth and Yoshikawa (1970 Phys. Fluids 13 2593-6) introduced the scalings of adiabatic plasma compression. Basically, if the shape of the external plasma boundary and the aspect ratio are preserved during the compression, then the density, kinetic ...

Exposing a molecule to an intense light pulse can create a nonstationary quantum state, thus launching correlated dynamics of electrons and nuclei. Although much had been achieved in the understanding of fundamental physics behind the electron-nuclear inte ...
