  1. 1. Probing Charm Production with Three-Particle Correlations in pp Collisions

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

    Författare :Kim Haupt; [2023]
    Nyckelord :pp collisions; charm production; three-particle correlation; Pythia; Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to investigate possible correlations between charm production and baryon production in proton-proton collisions through three-particle correlations. The question attempted to be answered is where, for a given charmed baryon, the balancing anti-charm particle and balancing anti-baryon are located. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Majorana bound states in chains of interacting quantum dots

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience

    Författare :William Samuelson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :quantum dots; superconducting proximity effect; Majorana bound states; Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the creation of Majorana bound states (MBSs) -- a type of condensed matter excitations theorized to have exotic and technologically valuable properties. In particular, they could be used to store and manipulate quantum information in a protected way, forming the building blocks of a topological quantum computer. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Higher Forms and Dimensional Hierarchy in Topological Condensed Matter

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Fysik

    Författare :Yashar Honarmandi; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Theoretical physics; topological quantum matter; parametrized systems; Berry phase; higher Berry curvature; effective field theory; topological action; topological insulators; dimensional hierarchy; Teoretisk fysik; topologisk kvantmateria; parametriserade system; Berryfas; högre Berrykrökning; effektiv fältteori; topologisk verkan; topologiska isolatorer; dimensionshierarki;

    Sammanfattning : This report discusses higher differential forms with applications in the study of topological phenomena. The integer quantum Hall effect is first discussed, demonstrating a connection between models on a lattice and quantum field theories bridged by a topological invariant, namely the Chern number.

  5. 4. Wannier Functions in non-Hermitian Systems

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Fysik

    Författare :Alberto Zorzato; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Theoretical Physics; Condensed Matter Physics; non-Hermitian Systems; Wannier Functions;

    Sammanfattning : The scope of this thesis is analyzing and characterizing certain gapless states in tight-binding non-Hermitian systems. We start by providing a pedagogical introduction to tight-binding theory, topological phases of matter, Wannier functions as real-space duals of Bloch functions and their properties, non-Hermitian systems and associated differences from standard Hermitian systems.

  7. 5. Signatures of topological phases in an open Kitaev chain

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Fysik

    Författare :Natalia Ermakova; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Kitaev chain; open quantum systems; Lindblad equation; topological quantum matter;

    Sammanfattning : Some physical systems exhibit topological properties in the form of topological invariants— features of the system that remain constant unless the system undergoessignificant changes i.e. changes that require closing the energy gap of the Hamiltonian.This work studies one example of a system with topological properties — a Kitaevchain.
