Synthetic quantum matter using atoms and light
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10-21)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessAtomic and optical physics are two fields closely connected by a shared range of energy scales, and the interactions between them. Atoms represent the most fundamental components of matter, and interactions with electromagnetic ... -
Laser-induced electron interferences from atoms and molecules
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-07-25)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessSince discovering wave-particle duality, science has changed our perception of light and matter, especially at the subatomic level. Thanks to such discoveries, we have been able to develop and expand our scientific knowledge ... -
Development of novel multimodal light-sheet fluorescence microscopes for in-vivo imaging of vertebrate organisms
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-06-14)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe observation of biological processes in their native environments is of critical importance for life science. While substantial information can be derived from the examination of in-vitro biological samples, in-vivo ... -
Atomic imaging of complex molecular
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-07-27)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessOne of the significant challenges of modern science is to track and image chemical reactions as they occur. The molecular movies, the precise spatiotemporal tracking of changes in their molecular dynamics, will provide a ... -
