In this thesis the entanglement properties of atom-atom, atom-photon, and photon-photon are investigated. The recent developments of quantum computation as well as quantum information and communication have attracted much ...

A neutral atom interacting with a single mode of a high finesse cavity provides an opportunity to study uncharted quantum mechanical systems and to explore the field of quantum computing and networking. Ranging from being ...

We apply the Segal process of group simplification to the linear harmonic oscillator. The result is a finite quantum theory with three quantum constants instead of the usual one. We compare the classical (CLHO), quantum ...

This work is about the properties of several low dimensional, small systems of interacting particles. We demonstrate that interaction between particles in the low dimensional small systems can lead to many unexpected ...

Devices that exploit the properties of quantum mechanics for their operation can offer unique advantages over their classical counterparts. Interference of matter waves can be used to dramatically increase the rotational ...

In this thesis I present the investigations of matter-light entanglement in cold atomic samples. Particularly, entanglement of mixed species ensembles and bichromatic light fields is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. ...

This thesis consists of two parts. In the first part, the properties of excess electrons in water clusters are studied via a hybrid quantum and classical mechanics method. The existence of the solvated electron in water ...
