New developments in orthogonality catastrophe physics
(2023-06-12) - ThesisThe Fermi edge singularity, and related Anderson’s orthogonality catastrophe, has been a touchstone of many body quantum physics for over 50 years. There are, however, a number of facets of this phenomenon that have, up ... -
Probabilistic modelling of astrophysical time series : gravitational microlensing and occultation mapping of planets and moons
(2023-06-12) - ThesisProgress in astronomy in the 21st century is contingent on the ability to extract useful information from complex and noisy datasets. This requires modeling the data-generating process – a complex combination of the physical ... -
Hybrid ancilla-based quantum computation and emergent Gaussian multipartite entanglement
(2023-06-12) - ThesisIn the first half of this thesis, we present two models of ancilla-based quantum computation (ABQC). Computation in the ABQC models is based on effecting changes on a register through the interaction with and manipulation ... -
Investigating observational probes of galaxy evolution in observations and simulations
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-22) - ThesisIn this thesis, we perform tests of galaxy evolution using a number of different observational probes. In chapter 2, we implement a method of obtaining redshift distributions for photometric samples of galaxies, known ...
