  • Design and computer aided optimization of a fully integrated CMOS RF distributed amplifier

    Creator:
    Ballweber, Brian M.
    Abstract:
    Advancements in the sophistication and complexity of modern electronic systems are creating a need for highly integrated systems with ever higher operational frequencies. The economical demands of these systems dictate that they be implemented using low cost fabrication technologies, such as digital CMOS. One of the major challenges facing circuit...

  • Local Accessibility of Objective, Classical Reality

    Creator:
    Kincaid, Joshua J.
    Abstract:
    The fact that measuring a quantum system reduces it to apparently classical behavior, eliminating the interference patterns that are a hallmark of quantumness, cries out for an explanation. That explanation has been provided by the recognition of decoherence,whereby the interference is destroyed by the very interaction that acquires information.We begin...

  • Light-matter interactions : from the photophysics of organic semiconductors to high spatial resolution optical tweezer-controlled nanoprobes

    Creator:
    Kendrick, Mark J.
    Abstract:
    Studies of light-matter interactions in organic semiconductors and in optical tweezer trapping of nanoparticles are presented. In the research related to organic semiconductor materials, a variety of novel materials and their composites have been characterized, and physical mechanisms behind their optoelectronic properties have been established. Three novel functionalized hexacene derivatives...

  • Gene Activation Strategies in Filamentous Fungi for Natural Products Discovery

    Creator:
    Adpressa, Donovon A.
    Abstract:
    Fungi have long been a prolific source of clinically approved drugs. The antibiotic penicillin, the cholesterol lowering statins, and the immunosuppressant cyclosporine have changed the treatment of human diseases in the last century. Recently, genome analysis of filamentous fungi has revealed that the biosynthetic potential for natural product expression is...

  • Fabrication and low-temperature measurement of quantum devices

    Creator:
    Nichols, Dublin M.
    Abstract:
    Since the advent of graphene, research on 2D materials has exploded. Countless experiments have uncovered novel properties that emerge when different layered crystals are cleaved down to only a few atomic layers in thickness. The most popular of these non-graphene 2D materials is MoS2, a semiconductor which has been of...

  • A computer-simulated Stern-Gerlach laboratory

    Creator:
    Jia, Lichun
    Abstract:
    This project aims at building a Java application and a Java applet that would simulate a Stern-Gerlach laboratory in Quantum Mechanics. The project provides a tool for allowing the student to quickly design and run on the computer screen a number of experiments involving spin systems. This application could be...

  • Gravitational Waves and the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and “Lab on a Chip”

    Creator:
    Gifford, Jessica
    Abstract:
    Improvements on the charge control measurements of the torsion pendulum, electron gun, and autocollimator system were conducted at the University of Washington in preparation for the fabrication of the final prototype of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) gravitational wave detector for NASA. One main cause of transient forces on...

  • Redundant information in a spin system beyond pure decoherence

    Creator:
    Svesko, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    Quantum physics in the Copenhagen interpretation places an unsatisfying divide between the quantum and classical worlds. Decoherence -- the destruction of superposition states of the system -- helps us understand how the quantum transitions to the classical. Quantum Darwinism builds on decoherence to understand how information about the system is...

  • A comparison of substrate noise coupling in lightly and heavily doped CMOS processes for 2.4 GHz LNA's

    Creator:
    Hazenboom, Duncan S.
    Abstract:
    Three types of low noise amplifiers operating at 2.4GHz were designed. They are the commonly used single-ended and differential amplifiers as well as a new quasi-differential amplifier. The substrate noise injected into these amplifiers is examined for both heavily and lightly doped CMOS substrates. For the single-ended amplifier the noise...
