Large-scale imaging of optical antennas and single molecules
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-04-15)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe interaction of light and matter is of crucial importance in fundamental science as well as in high-end technology. Ultimately, this concerns the interaction between a photon and a single quantum system, e.g. the ... -
Quantum nonlinear optics at the single-photon level with cold Rydberg atoms
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-04-08)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessPhotons are good candidates for carrying quantum information because they are very stable particles: they interact weakly with the medium and barely with each other. However, this has drawbacks when you want to process ... -
New phenomena in high-quality suspended nanotube devices
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-03-30)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted the attention of the scientific community since their discovery in the 90s. They are an excellent material for the development of research fields as diverse as nanomechanics or quantum ... -
Deterministic control of nanoantenna and single-photon emitter interaction at the nanoscale
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-03-24)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe study of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale is a very promising field of research, providing the possibility to manipulate the interaction with single quantum systems like single atoms, molecules, atomic defects ... -
Machine learning for quantum physics and quantum physics for machine learning
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-03-25)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessResearch at the intersection of machine learning (ML) and quantum physics is a recent growing field due to the enormous expectations and the success of both fields. ML is arguably one of the most promising technologies ... -
Hybrid diffuse optical neuromonitoring of cerebral haemodynamics: from the smallest premature born infants to adults
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-06-04)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessHybrid diffuse optical devices allows for the non-invasive and continuous monitoring of the cerebral haemodynamics and metabolism. Such devices can be portable and are relatively inexpensive, therefore available at the ... -
Environmentally friendly nanocrystals synthesized and processed in ambient conditions for solution-processed solar cells
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-02-11)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessDue to the continuously increasing energy demand and the environmental concerns about climate changes raised by international community, alternative energy resources have been put under intense investigation for the past ... -
Hybrid diffuse optics for translational oncology and nanobiophotonics: towards a theranostic approach for emerging cancer therapies
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-10-24)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessA pre-clinical mouse model of human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) was employed as a method to study the prognostic and theranostic potential of two, non-invasive, deep tissue, diffuse optical techniques, namely ... -
Correlates of cerebral vasoreactivity measured by non-invasive diffuse optical measurements as biomarkers of brain injury risk
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-03-06)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessI have used and developed a practical new platform in the clinics for the noninvasive estimation of cerebral hemodynamics. The latform combines two diffuse optical techniques: near-infrared spectroscopy and diffuse ... -
Development and study of novel mid-infrared frequency conversion sources
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-12-02)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessTunable narrow-linewidth and broadband laser sources in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) wavelength range are extremely desirable in all time scales for their several useful applications in spectroscopy, imaging, optical communication ... -
A cold-atom approach to topological quantum matter across the energy scale
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-12-11)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe outstanding progress achieved in the last decades to isolate and manipulate individual quantum systems has revolutionized the way in which quantum many-body phenomena, appearing across Nature's different energy scales, ... -
Anomalous diffusion : from life to machines
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-11-09)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessDiffusion refers to numerous phenomena, by which particles and bodies of all kinds move throughout any kind of material, has emerged as one of the most prominent subjects in the study of complex systems. Motivated by the ...
