Solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics with spin ensembles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Quantum sensors have the potential to operate at fundamental physical performance limits. Among various quantum sensing platforms, solid-state spin emitters stand out due to advantageous characteristics such as room-temperature ... -
Expanding the Phase Space of Photons in Matter: From High-Throughput Screening to Atom-by-Atom Engineering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Focusing on the topological band properties of photonic crystals and the plasmonic properties of two-dimensional metals, we seek to answer the question: what is the phase space of photons in matter? For topology, what are ... -
On the Sample Efficiency of Data-Driven Decision Making
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)This thesis studies the fundamental problem of decision making under uncertainty through the lens of statistical decision theory. We characterize the minimax risk, which captures the sample efficiency required for effective ...
