Grad Theses

The accuracy of Pharmacokinetic model fit parameters is highly sensitive to the quality of the contrast-time curves acquired in the tissue of interest and within a blood vessel feeding the tissue.  The later curve is commonly referred to as the arterial input function (AIF).  It is difficult to measure the AIF in pre-clinical studies in mice due to their small body size and limited number of vessels of a sufficient size.  As a result, several groups will use a population averaged curve from the literature.

Grad Theses

Abstract:
Hole doped bismuth perovskite is one of the rare examples of a three-dimensional high transition temperature superconducting oxide (Tc = 34K) without a transition metal cation. The undoped compound, BaBiO3, also shows closely interlinked electronic and structural phase transitions and a controversial insulating mechanism. Understanding the electronic structure of the parent compound, BaBiO3, can give valuable insight into both its superconducting mechanism, in particular, and into the physics of the perovskites family, in general.

Grad Theses

Abstract:
A major goal of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) community is myelin quantification. MRI contrast depends on tissue microstructure, so quantitative models require good understanding of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) physics in these complex, heterogeneous environments. In this thesis, we study the underlying physics behind two different 1 H contrast mechanisms in white and grey matter tissue: T 1 relaxation and the recently developed Inhomogeneous Magnetization Transfer (ihMT).

Grad Theses

Abstract:
We study the noncommutative geometry associated to matrices of N quantum dots in the matrix models. The earlier work established a surface embedded in flat R^3 from three Hermitian matrices. We construct coherent states corresponding to points in the emergent geometry and find the original matrices determine not only shape of the emergent surface, but also a unique Poisson structure. We prove that commutators of matrix operators correspond to Poisson brackets. Through our construction, we can realize arbitrary noncommutative membranes embedded in R^3.

Grad Theses

Abstract: A precise measurement of the pion to positron or muon decay branching ratio provides a test of lepton universality incorporated in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. If a measurement is consistent with the SM, new constraints could be set on new physics. Most remarkably, a deviation could imply the presence of a new pseudo-scalar interaction whose energy scales up to O(1000 TeV) would enhance the branching ratio by O(0.1%). In some instances, these constraints can far exceed the reach of direct searches at colliders.

Grad Theses

Abstract:
We discuss applications of quantum information theoretic concepts to quantum gravity and the low-energy regime of quantum field theories.

The first part of this thesis is concerned with how quantum information spreads in four-dimensional scattering experiments for theories coupled to quantum electro- dynamics or perturbative quantum gravity. In these cases, every scattering process is accompanied by the emission of an infinite number of soft photons or gravi-tons, which cause infrared divergences in the calculation of scattering probabilities.

Abstract:
The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) describes mass generation of fundamental particles via the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism. It predicts Yukawa interactions between the Higgs boson and fermions, with interaction strengths proportional to the fermion masses. The largest Yukawa coupling is that of the top quark, and its value has implications in particle physics and beyond. As the SM is not a complete theory of nature, detailed measurements of its predictions are a mandatory step towards improving the understanding of nature.

Many extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of new phenomena at high energies.

Final PhD Oral Examination (Thesis Title: “Aspects of Quantum Information in Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Gravity”)

| Event Location: Room 203, Graduate Student Centre (6371 Crescent Road) | Speaker: DOMINIK NEUENFELD

Grad Theses

Abstract:
We discuss applications of quantum information theoretic concepts to quantum gravity and the low-energy regime of quantum field theories.

The first part of this thesis is concerned with how quantum information spreads in four-dimensional scattering experiments for theories coupled to quantum electro- dynamics or perturbative quantum gravity. In these cases, every scattering process is accompanied by the emission of an infinite number of soft photons or gravi-tons, which cause infrared divergences in the calculation of scattering probabilities.

Grad Theses

Abstract:
Although elementary particles and their interactions are extremely well modeled by the Standard Model of particle physics, some experimental measurements cannot be explained entirely by this theory. Many extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of new phenomena at high energies. In particular, new resonance models and contact interaction models leading to dimuon final states are numerous.
