Calculation of quantum entanglement using a genetic algorithm

Lesniak, Joseph (2007-05)

Quantum entanglement is a multifaceted property that has attracted much attention, since it is used as the basis for such applications as quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation, and quantum computing. The calculation ...
Effective medium theory and Rosseland mean opacity

Penley, Jonathan Jay (2005-12)

As a gas cools the mean opacity becomes dominated by the opacity of molecules and at low temperatures solid dust grains. Accurately computing the opacity is necessary to accurately compute the transfer of radiation through ...
The magnetic vector potential, Klein-Gordon equation and Klein’s paradox in relativistic quantum mechanics

Schaffer, David L. (2007-05)

This thesis evaluates solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation with scalar and vector potentials in the Symmetric and Landau gauges. The solution for the Klein-Gordon equation in the Symmetric gauge does reproduce elements ...
