Esmaeil Zadeh, I.Z. (author)
In the past decades quantum optics has been at the forefront of quantum innovative technologies. For practical applications, scalable platforms for implementation of quantum optical circuits are vital. This thesis presents two new platforms for scalable implementation of quantum optical circuits, namely, modular approach and monolithic...

Majorana fermions are exotic elementary particles predicted in 1937 by Ettore Majorana. Although heavily searched for, they have never been found in nature up to date. In the past decades, with the progress in theory, theoretical physicists predicted that Majorana fermions might emerge in certain exotic classes of condensed matter systems, where...

This thesis includes two research directions both aim to discover a building block for topological quantum computing. First, in Chapter 3, a novel setup is designed, built, and tested, that can electrostatically gate a material without endangering the materials pristine quality. The setup was designed with the goal to reveal non-Abelian...

In the future world of quantum communication and computing, infomation cannot be hacked and computers solve difficult problems, such as factorizing large number or searching in a large databases, much faster than possible with ordinary computers. However, to realize such systems still much research is needed. One of the systems that has gained a...

Agundez, R.R. (author)
In this thesis we study quantum transport in several one-dimensional systems with strong electronic interactions. The first chapter contains an introduction to the concepts treated throughout this thesis, such as the Aharonov-Bohm effect, the Kondo effect, the Fano effect and quantum state transfer. It also includes a brief historical...

Synthesis of nanocrystals (NCs) and heteronanocrystals (HNCs) has developed very fast particularly in the last decade. Nowadays, various structures and different morphologies of NCs and HNCs can be prepared with a very narrow size distribution. The nanoscale dimensions of these crystals lead to interesting phenomena (e.g. electronic properties)...

Electromigration is a process in which a metallic contact line is thinned by passing a current through it; which occurs due to a gradual displacement of atoms, ultimately leading to destruction of the wire. Despite the active investigations on electromigration for over fifty years, until now there is no general theory of the process and many...

In the pursuit of down-sizing electronic components, the ultimate limit is the use of single molecules as functional devices. Molecules can also provide additional functionalities compared to semiconductors. Using synthetic chemistry, an almost endless choice of molecular structures and compositions is available. With the proper knowledge, one...

Ristè, D. (author)
Superconducting circuits have recently risen to the forefront of the solid-state prototypes for quantum computing. Reaching the stage of robust quantum computing requires closing the loop between measurement and control of quantum bits (qubits). This thesis presents the realization of feedback control of superconducting qubits based on...

Van Weperen, I. (author)
Recently ideas to engineer Majorana fermions in the solid state have been developed. These Majoranas, quasiparticles that are their own antiparticle, have received much attention, as they are expected to fulfill non-Abelian exchange statistics and could potentially function as fault-tolerant quantum bits. This thesis focuses on a Majorana host...

Chen, Y.T. (author)
In this thesis, we report several effects in spintronics and spin caloritronics related to relativistic spin-orbit coupling. In Chapter 2, we discuss the relativistic spin caloritronicHall effects in terms of a semiclassical theory for anomalous thermoelectric effects in ferromagnetic metals due to spin-orbit scattering at impurities, including...

A quantum network is the essential resource for distributed quantum computation and the enabling technology for secure quantum communication over large distances. Setting up such a network would require establishing quantum connections between local nodes which are capable of generating, processing and storing quantum information. Intensive...
