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 ... -
Induced superconductivity in a quantum Hall edge state
(2023-06-12) - ThesisIn the search for non-Abelian anyonic zero modes for inherently fault-tolerant quantum computing, the hybridized superconductor - quantum Hall edge system plays an important role. Inspired by recent experimental realizations ... -
Process tensor networks for non-Markovian open quantum systems
(2022-11-29) - ThesisThe advance of quantum technology relies heavily on an accurate understanding of the unavoidable interactions between quantum systems and their environment. While it is often adequate to account for the environment using ...
