Fundamentals of Laser Cooling of Rare-Earth-Ion Doped Solids and its Enhancement Using Nanopowders.

Abstract

My time at Michigan has tremendous impacts on me, and for this I would like to thank many. My advisor, Professor Massoud Kaviany, led me into the exciting area of heat transfer physics, and encouraged me to take risks to explore new topics. I was allowed sufficient freedom to decide where the project should direct, while I could still benefit a lot from his insight and expertise. I am grateful to him for training me in every aspect to become a scholar. My committee member, Professor Stephen Rand, taught me a great deal when I was a newcomer to optics, and offered to meet with me many times all through my Ph.D. study, to discuss questions in my research. The other members of my committee, Professors John Kieffer, and David Reis, have provided support during the dissertation process. Professors Mahta Moghaddam, Gerard Mourou, Stephen Rand, David Reis, Duncan Steel, and James Wells taught courses that were very helpful to me for learning optics, quantum mechanics, and condensed matter physics. I would also like to thank the valuable discussions or

Coherent Optical Spectroscopy of a Single Semiconductor Quantum Dot.

Xiaodong Xu

6 years ago when I joined the group, Elaine gave me a lab tour. I saw Jun and Yanwen sitting in the dark and taking data. At that time there was a big chiller in the time domain lab and making huge noise. Frankly, I was a bit scared since I had never been in a real lab before graduate school. I was wondering whether I could do well in such a lab as an experimental physicist. Now it is 6 years later and I am so happy to say that I made it. During the entire graduate school, there are so many people I would like to thank. The first and the most important person I would like to thank is my advisor Professor Duncan Steel. I am so lucky to have Duncan as my advisor. He is such a smart scientist with great personality. His working ethics and conscientious attitudes inspired me a lot in research. He always tries to create the best education and research support for me. One of the greatest things is that he tried to develop my weakness, exploit my strength, and carefully shape me to be a good physicist. Duncan is also an advisor with a great sense of humor and it is so much fun to work with him. I would like to thank Professor Paul Berman. His lectures of quantum optics is

Coherent Control in Cavity QED

Tracy E. Northup

I would first like to thank my advisor, Jeff Kimble, for the wonderful opportunities of the past six years. I am deeply grateful for the chance to work in such an exciting field, and I have learned a great deal both from him and from the diverse group of researchers he has assembled. His vision of what it means to be a scientist and his enthusiasm for pursuing challenging research problems have been an inspiring part of my education. The strong sense of community within the Quantum Optics group has been an important part of my time at Caltech, and I would like to express my thanks to all of the group members. I have worked with an amazing set of colleagues on the cavity QED experiments: Kevin Birnbaum, Andreea Boca, David Boozer, Theresa Lynn, Russell Miller, and Dalziel Wilson. They have taught me by example how to be an experimentalist — and to have a lot of fun in the process, even on experiments that have sometimes seemed overwhelming. I want to stress that the recent achievements in lab 11 would not have been possible without Dave’s insight and analysis. Outside the lab, I am grateful to a circle of friends who have made southern

Theoretical studies for experimental implementation of quantum computing with trapped ions

Bryce Yoshimura

Certain quantum many-body physics problems, such as the transverse field Ising model are intractable on a classical computer, meaning that as the number of particles grows, or spins, the amount of memory and computational time required to solve the problem exactly increases faster than a polynomial behavior.However, quantum simu-I would like to thank my advisor, Professor James Freericks, for all the help and guidance he provided me throughout my time at Georgetown University.I know I am not the easiest person to work with and I imagine at times it was frustrating.I have learned a significant amount about quantum computing with trapped ions, unfortunately one thing that I still need to work on is my atrocious writing.Beyond the opportunity of doing research with Professor Freericks, he has also given me the opportunity to mentor many undergraduates.I have enjoyed every minute of my work.It has been a privilege and an honor working with you.Of course, I would not have gotten as far as I did without the help from my fellow classmates.Thanks to my classmates: Alan Pasha Tabatabai, Khadijeh "Sona" Najafi, and Oliver Albertini, who got me through the first and second year courses.I passed solid state II and the comprehensive exam because of these three classmates.As for the older graduate students, thanks to Jesús Cruz-Rojas who helped me stay motivated during my research blues stage.Although, we were quite prone to discussing random algorithms and other projects that did not have anything to do with our research.
