  • Consistent Histories Formulation of the Double-Slit Experiment

    Creator:
    Bauml, Benjamin N.
    Abstract:
    The standard interpretation of quantum mechanics (known as the Copenhagen interpretation) divides the world into quantum phenomena and classical observers that perform measurements upon the phenomena. This provides a quite functional framework for calculating probabilities of measurement outcomes, but it lacks the generality necessary for such things as retrodiction, and...

  • Isolating Non-Blackbody Radiation Spectra from Low-Bandgap LEDs near Zero Bias

    Creator:
    Teo, YiPeng
    Abstract:
    The study of carrier transport in light-emitting diode (LED) has been researched extensively in the past. However, most studies were implementing voltages above the turn-on voltage of the LED. Research on LEDs well below the turn-on voltage threshold is comparatively scarce for good reasons. When the supply voltage is below...

  • Computing Wavefunctions of Silicon Donor Qubits with Density Functional Theory

    Creator:
    Almulla, Yousif Waleed
    Abstract:
    Silicon based quantum computing is an attractive approach to large-scale quantum computation due to the significant success of the modern semiconductor fabrication industry. Despite many advances in silicon quantum computing since its inception in 1998, there remains no software for efficiently designing candidate silicon quantum computing devices. Such a development...

  • Cancer Cell Detection with Mask R-CNN

    Creator:
    Wong, Ryan
    Abstract:
    Instance segmentation, the classification and localization of objects in an image, is a problem in cellular biophysics due to the physiological relevance of cell morphology. Particularly, cancer cells migrate in tissue space by changing their body shape similarly to how humans extend their limbs to swim through water. Monitoring such...

  • Off-Axis Gamma Ray Burst Contribution to the Diffuse Gamma Ray Background in the 100-600 keV Range

    Creator:
    Hodges, Isaac
    Abstract:
    Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are short, intense pulses of gamma rays that emit radiation in a narrow beam. Unless the beam is oriented towards the observer, it is often difficult to resolve the bursts against the diffuse gamma ray background (DGRB). The DGRB is a measured source of gamma rays...

  • Spectral Analysis of Upper Ocean Surface Wave Structure using χSOLO Floats in the Bay of Bengal

    Creator:
    Ball, Matthew S.
    Abstract:
    Surface waves play a vital role in air-sea interactions, and being able to easily measure them in-situ validates and improves predictive models. Here, we diagnose surface wave properties in the Bay of Bengal using modified vertical SOLO II profiling floats, which are regularly used as part of the Argo ocean...

  • Broad Histogram Algorithm Comparison for the Square Well Fluid

    Creator:
    Simpson, Tanner T.
    Abstract:
    Thermodynamic properties of systems are often investigated computationally. Traditionally, thermal physics simulations are limited by their very small energy ranges and slow convergence. Broad histogram algorithms are a class of Monte Carlo algorithms that can explore an entire energy (and temperature) range in one thermal physics simulation: potentially saving months...
