The theory of Coulomb Drag in Graphene Systems
… Coulomb drag with the emerging field of graphene physics. First, the theory of Coulomb drag between two graphene mono-layers is extended to include finite temperature. It is found that the effect is strongly enhanced at intermediate temperatures by coupled plasmon modes. This behaviour is similar …

C. G. Jung and Albert Einstein: From the physical to the psychical relativity of space and time
… number of studies into Jung’s interest in physics – and his collaboration with the theoretical physicist Wolfgang Pauli – so far there has been no thorough investigation into the connection between Jung and Einstein. This thesis researches the historical context of the relationship between …

Aspects of Black Hole Physics: Scalar Sources, Holography and Gravitational Wave Emission
We investigate several aspects of black hole physics. First, we consider models of gravity minimally coupled to scalar fields. We derive a new class of asymptotically flat black holes sourced by a non-trivial asymptotically massless scalar field; we discuss their relationship with known solutions …

Strong-field physics with ultrafast optical resonators
… of ultrafast resonator-enhanced strong-field physics. First, we use plasmonic nanoparticles as nano-optical resonators to explore strong-field photoemission near nanostructures on the surface of a chip. We demonstrate strong-field photoemission with our chip-scale devices under ambient …

Exploring spin physics with ultracold atoms
… ago. The ⁷Li apparatus described here was the first to realize a tunable, anisotropic Heisenberg model, also known as the XXZ model. In this thesis, I will describe how the capabilities of this apparatus were harnessed to characterize the spin models we realize, employ them to observe new …

Quantum simulation and out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum gases in optical cavities
… into the intriguing world of quantum many- body physics. First, we study a gas of ultracold atoms coupled to three optical resonators. We show that the inherent Z2 symmetries, associated with each atom-cavity coupling, can be combined into a global SO(3) rotational symmetry which can be …

Redox-Mediated Processes Toward Modular Electrochemical Systems
… to experimentally determine underlying physics. First, I establish the development of the RM concept over the past years as primarily through proof-of-concept electrochemical reactors which mimic RFBs. Second, we establish that the underlying nature of some RM reactions can be quantified …

Real commitment: a coarse-grained approach to reality via alternative theories in physics
… case studies. I dive into three such cases in physics. First, I consider the freedom in electrodynamic gauge theories to interpret some or all gauge variables as physical variables, posing the question whether, and to what extent, the electromagnetic potentials can be considered as physically …

Applications of X-ray Instrumentation for Dark Matter Searches with Cosmic-ray Antiparticles
… and unifying theme of modern particle and astrophysics. Indirect dark matter detection centers on cosmic-ray signatures of possible dark matter annihilation or decay to Standard Model particles in the Galaxy. Relative to terrestrial experiments, such indirect dark matter searches benefit from …
