  1. 21. Increasing the efficiency of the CERN accelerators by use of Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/FREIA

    Author : Joakim Kvarnström; [2021]
    Keywords : Energy Storage; Power Conversion; Particle Accelerator; Superconductivity; SMES;

    Abstract : This report explains how an SMES is operated and how SMES systems could be used to increase the efficiency of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Future Circular Collider (FCC) as well as to reduce the very high power needs of a future Muon Collider (MC). The performance of SMES for other applications and late developments of the technique will also be described. READ MORE

  3. 22. On the superconducting critical temperature in Eliashberg theory

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Max Oliveberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Eliashberg; Superconductivity; Mathematical Physics; Eliashberg; Supraledning; Matematisk Fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a brief synopsis of the derivations of the BCS and Eliashberg equations. An analytic formula for the critical temperature $T_c$ in Eliashberg theory is derived, which contains a sum of iterative integral corrections. READ MORE

  4. 23. Optimizing numerical modelling of quantum computing hardware

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Yasir Al-Latifi; [2021]
    Keywords : Quantum computers; transmon qubits; rotating-wave approximation; energy levels;

    Abstract : Quantum computers are being developed to solve certain problems faster than classical computers. Instead of using classical bits, they use quantum bits (qubits) that utilize quantum effects. READ MORE

  5. 24. Towards the detection of single photons in the mid-infrared

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Bruno Lopez; [2021]
    Keywords : mid-infrared; single-photon; superconducting; nanowire; nanotechnology; quantum technologies; imaging; mitten av infraröd; enfoton; supraledande; nanotråd; nanoteknik; kvantteknologi; avbildning;

    Abstract : In this project, the fabrication of single-photon detectors based on superconducting nanowires is presented, with great focus on extending their operation range to the mid infrared. In particular, Niobium Titanium Nitride (NbTiN) and Molybdenum Silicide (MoSi), superconducting materials with different properties, are presented, studied and used as fabrication platforms.

  6. 25. Gribov ambiguities in non-Abelian gauge theories

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Fredrik Granström; [2021]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the quantization of field theories using the functional integral formalism. Gauge invariance necessitates a gauge-fixing procedure that chooses a unique field configuration from each gauge orbit. READ MORE
