1. A combinatorial description of certain polynomials related to the XYZ spin chain
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to study the connection between the three-color model and the polynomials q_n(z) of Bazhanov and Mangazeev. To give some background, we describe some exactly solvable, quantum integrable lattice models and their connections to each other and to other models. LÄS MER
2. Triptych of quantum matter in one dimension : Playful constructions in theoretical and computational physics
Sammanfattning : In this compilation thesis, three different quantum mechanical systems are presented. All three have in common that they are one-dimensional quantum systems which, each in their own way, can be seen as analogous to other quantum systems. LÄS MER
3. Aspects of the Duality between Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory and String Theory
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with three topics related to the Ads/CFT correspondence. In Paper I, solutions describing the geometry of fractional D1-branes of Type IIB string theory are presented. The running coupling constant is computed on the gauge theory side. LÄS MER
4. Strongly Correlated Models in One Dimension from a Density Matrix Renormalization Group Perspective
Sammanfattning : The density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) is a numerical method for studying low dimensional strongly correlated models. The study of these models is one of the most active areas of condensed matter physics today and has been spurred not only by the discovery of high temperature superconductivity but also by experiments on new compounds.

5. Catalysis of Quantum Chain Photoisomerizations: Calculations of Triplet Energy Surfaces and Measurements of Quantum Yields
Sammanfattning : Triplet state cis-trans photoisomerizations of olefins is the theme of this thesis, and the goal is to make the isomerizations as efficient as possible. The shape of the triplet potential energy surface (T1 PES) is essential for this, and the possibility of calculating these T1 PESs for two smaller olefins, using the computationally inexpensive density functional theory (DFT) methods, was investigated.
