  1. 11. A Classical-Light Attack on Energy-Time Entangled Quantum Key Distribution, and Countermeasures

    Författare :Jonathan Jogenfors; Jan-Åke Larsson; Arnt Inge Vistnes; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum Key Distribution; Energy-Time Entanglement; Quantum Information; Kvantkryptering; Energi-Tid-Snärjning; Kvantinformation;

    Sammanfattning : Quantum key distribution (QKD) is an application of quantum mechanics that allowstwo parties to communicate with perfect secrecy. Traditional QKD uses polarization of individual photons, but the development of energy-time entanglement could lead to QKD protocols robust against environmental effects. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Effects of the environment on quantum systems: decoherence, bound states and high impedance in superconducting circuits

    Författare :Marco Scigliuzzo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TLS; atom photon bound state; circuit QED; quantum thermodynamics; two-level systems; surface acoustic wave; high impedance; superconducting circuits; SAW;

    Sammanfattning : Superconducting circuits in the quantum regime represent a viable platform for microwave quantum optics, quantum simulations and quantum computing. In the last two decades, a large effort brought this architecture from an academic curiosity to concrete technology. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Materials for advanced energy technology from quantum-mechanical modeling

    Författare :Xiaojie Li; Levente Vitos; Tapio Rantala; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The present thesis addresses promising material solutions for fusion reactors from a theoretical point of view. We focus on two specific systems: W-based alloys used as plasma-facing materials and reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM, Ferich) steels used as structural materials of breeding-blanket.

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

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Quest for quantum signatures in Axion Dark Matter and Gravity

    Författare :Vasileios Fragkos; Igor Pikovski; Ingemar Bengtsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Axion Dark Matter; Gravity; Quantum mechanics; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : This licentiate thesis in theoretical physics focuses on the existence of quantum features in physical systems such as axion dark matter and gravity. Our focus is mostly on effects which appear at low energies, a regime in which our models can be confronted with current experiments or within the foreseeable future. LÄS MER
