Abstract:: We study an Ising chain undergoing a quantum phase transition in a quantum magnetic field. Such a field can be emulated by coupling the chain to a central spin initially in a superposition state. We show that - by adiabatically driving such a system - one can prepare a quantum...

Creator:: Blume-Kohout, Robin, Croke, Sarah, and Zwolak, Michael
Abstract:: Measurement of a quantum system - the process by which an observer gathers information about it - provides a link between the quantum and classical worlds. The nature of this process is the central issue for attempts to reconcile quantum and classical descriptions of physical processes. Here, we show that...

Creator:: Zwolak, Michael and Zurek, Wojciech H.
Abstract:: The sum of the Holevo quantity (that bounds the capacity of quantum channels to transmit classical information about an observable) and the quantum discord (a measure of the quantumness of correlations of that observable) yields an observable-independent total given by the quantum mutual information. This split naturally delineates information about...

Creator:: Rath, Jeremy J.
Abstract:: This research investigates the electronic properties of a fungi-derived pigment, xylindein as a novel sustainable material for organic electronics. Xylindein molecules were characterized in solution and in film. Absorption spectra and (photo)luminescence spectra were taken at various excitation wavelengths. Xylindein’s molecular properties were computed with the Gaussian 09 software suite....

Creator:: Ahmed, Aneeq
Abstract:: We computationally modeled protostellar star-disk systems with star to disk mass ratio of 10. Our computational models looked at the development of density perturbations in these systems for different geometries of the system. The ratio of the star’s height and radius (rₚ/rₑ) is varied between 0.1746 and 0.88095. We modeled...
