Generalized phononic networks : of length scales, symmetry breaking and (non) locality : "controlling complexity through simplicity"
The manipulation and control of phonons is extremely important from both a fundamental scientific and applied technological standpoint, providing applications ranging from sound insulation to heat management. Phononic crystals and metamaterials are artificially structured materials (at certain …

Ultraweak photon emission in cells: coupling to molecular pathways, applied magnetic fields, and potential non-locality
… The occurrence of macroscopic entanglement or non-locality was shown between two loci of where simple chemically-based photons emissions were generated. Within all three experiments there was marked quantitative congruence between the energies associated with the power density of the photon …

Quantum Resource Distributions: Geometric Analysis and Computational Classification
… classical systems by harnessing intrinsically non-classical resources. Yet, the precise origin of this quantum advantage remains elusive. While entanglement and coherence have long been viewed as essential, results such as the Gottesman–Knill theorem demonstrate that these features alone are …

SANS investigations of the flux line lattice in unconventional superconductors
… be broadly described in terms of field-induced non-locality, the potency of which is perhaps increased by the anisotropy of the order-parameter. The heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn\(_5\) exhibits an exotic ground state that combines unconventional superconductivity with strong paramagnetism. …

Super-quantum and quantum enhancements of two-sender channels
… studies the consequences of 'super-quantum non-local correlations', which are hypothetical violations of Bell/CHSH inequalities that are stronger - more nonlocal - than quantum mechanics allows, yet weak enough to respect special relativity in prohibiting faster-than-light communication. …

Particles methods for kinetic equations in plasma physics, collective behaviors and optimization.
… classical stochastic algorithms in presence of non locality. In Chapter 4 we will consider a similar setting in the context of optimization and we will develop a novel stochastic algorithm useful to minimize non-convex high dimensional functions. Finally, in Chapter 5 we will focus on a …

Quantum theory from the perspective of general probabilistic theories
… Particular attention is given to quantum nonlocality, and its interaction with areas of physical and mathematical interest such as entropy, reversible dynamics, information-based games and the idea of negative probability. We begin with a review of non-signaling distributions and convex …

Parallel repetition of multi-party and quantum games via anchoring and fortification
… (quantum games), crucial to the study of quantum non-locality and quantum cryptography, and multi-player games were poorly understood until recently. In this thesis, we resolve some of the major problems regarding the parallel repetition of quantum and multi-player games by establishing the first …

An Indeterminacy-based Local Approach and Ontology for Quantum Theory
… it has the great benefit of being a local, non-relational, and non-superdeterministic/non-retrocausal "interpretation" of quantum theory, or quantum theory (QT). EnDQT has the benefit of being conservative, not modifying the fundamental equations of QT, and, in principle, allowing arbitrary …

Processing correlated quantum systems in the one-shot setting
… novel ways in which correlations may be encoded non-locally in quantum mechanics have led to the promise of new technologies. This, in turn, has led to the first attempts at the development of quantum networks. Nonetheless, our understanding of quantum correlations and the limits of how we may …

Machine Learning Force Fields for Modelling Reactions at Complex Interfaces
… method Furthermore, under the assumption of locality, MLFFs scale linearly with system size, while even approximate electronic structure methods such as density functional theory (DFT) scale cubically. In this thesis, we explore how MLFFs can be used to model complex reactive systems. We …

Numerical modeling of cortical bone adaptation due to mechanical loading using the finite element method
… each surface point, in order to incorporate the non-locality in the mechanotransduction of osteocytes present in the lacunae. We show that the dissipation energy stimulus and the resulting increase in second moment of inertia of the cross section increase linearly with frequency in the low …

Quantum Telepathy and the Analysis of Particle Presence
… my contribution to the development of such non-classical protocols. In classical communication theory a message is always carried by physical particles that interact with a transmitter, after which they travel to a receiver. In this thesis I outline a quantum protocol which allows a receiver …

Topology of Social and Managerial Networks

The Effects of Pressure Gradient and Roughness on Pressure Fluctuations Beneath High Reynolds Number Boundary Layers
