Worldsheet methods for perturbative quantum field theory
(2015-10-01)This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part concerns the study of the ambitwistor string and the scattering equations, while the second concerns the interplay of the symmetries of the asymptotic null boundary of ... -
Topics in Computing with Quantum Oracles and Higher-Dimensional Many-Body Systems
(2017-06-08)Since they were first envisioned, quantum computers have oft been portrayed as devices of limitless power, able to perform calculations in a mere instant that would take current computers years to determine. This is, of ... -
On vortex rings impacting a sharply-stratified interface
(2017-06-14)This thesis presents an investigation into the dynamics of vortex rings impacting a sharply-stratified density interface. This problem has a long history and is important for understanding how individual eddies in stratified ... -
An experimental study of the spread of buoyant water into a rotating environment
(2017-05-01)This thesis examines previously unresolved issues regarding the fluid dynamics of the spread of buoyant water into a rotating environment. We focus in particular on the role that finite potential vorticity and background ...
