A New Deep-Neural-Network--Based Missing Transverse Momentum Estimator, and its Application to W Recoil
(2020)This dissertation presents the first Deep-Neural-Network–based missing transverse momentum (pTmiss) estimator, called “DeepMET”. It utilizes all reconstructed particles in an event as input, and assigns an individual weight ... -
INTERACTING PHOTONS IN CIRCUIT QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS: DECAY OF THE COLLECTIVE PHASE MODE IN ONE-DIMENSIONAL JOSEPHSON JUNCTION ARRAYS DUE TO QUANTUM PHASE-SLIP FLUCTUATIONS
(2020)Light does not typically scatter light, as witnessed by the linearity of Maxwell’s equations. In this work, we demonstrate two superconducting circuits, in which microwave photons have well-defined energy and ... -
Enhanced transport of spin-orbit-coupled Bose gases indisordered potentials
(2020)Anderson localization is a single particle localization phenomena in disordered media that is accompanied by an absence of diffusion.Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) describes an interaction between a particle's spin and its ... -
Study and Mitigation of Transverse Resonances with Space Charge Effects at the University of Maryland Electron Ring
(2020)Research at the intensity frontier of particle physics has led to the consideration of accelerators that push the limits on achievable beam intensities. At high beam intensities Coulomb interactions between charged particles ... -
CONTROL AND CHARACTERIZATION OF OPEN QUANTUM SYSTEMS
(2020)The study of open physical systems concerns finding ways to incorporate the lack of information about the environment into a theory that best describes the behavior of the system. We consider characterizing the environment ...
