• Building and Programming a Universal Ion Trap Quantum Computer 

  Figgatt, Caroline (2018)

  Quantum computing represents an exciting frontier in the realm of information processing; it is a promising technology that may provide future advances in a wide range of fields, from quantum chemistry to optimization ...

• Design of a nonlinear quasi-integrable lattice for resonance suppression at the University of Maryland Electron Ring 

  Ruisard, Kiersten (2018)

  Conventional particle accelerators use linear focusing forces for transverse confinement. As a consequence of linearity, accelerating rings are sensitive to myriad resonances and instabilities. At high beam intensity, ...

• LARGE-SCALE NEURAL NETWORK MODELING: FROM NEURONAL MICROCIRCUITS TO WHOLE-BRAIN COMPLEX NETWORK DYNAMICS 

  Liu, Qin (2018)

  Neural networks mediate human cognitive functions, such as sensory processing, memory, attention, etc. Computational modeling has been proved as a powerful tool to test hypothesis of network mechanisms underlying cognitive ...

• MAGNETIZED PLANE WAVE AND STRIPE-ORDERED PHASES IN SPIN-ORBIT-COUPLED BOSE GASES 

  Putra, Andika (2018)

  Quantum degenerate gases have provided rich systems to simulate engineered Hamiltonians and to explore quantum many-body problems in laboratory-scale experiments. In this work, I focus on spin-orbit-coupled (SOC) Bose-Einstein ...

• Study of the decay B+ → K+ π0 at LHCb and mechanical development for the design of the Upstream Tracker 

  Andrews, Jason Emory (2018)

  The LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to measure the properties of particles containing charm (c) and bottom (b) quarks. This dissertation documents two major studies I have completed, one ...
