V diplomskem delu sem opisala načrtovanje in izdelavo radiofrekvenčnega instrumenta – grid-dip metra (v nadaljevanju GDM). Cilj naloge je bil izdelava GDM-ja, z možnostjo nastavitve na avtomatični ali ročni prelet. V avtomatičnem načinu je na XY osciloskopu prikazan izmerjeni dip. Delovanje instrumenta je bilo preverjeno na primeru varnostnih nalep...

A variety of technologies have been so far demonstrated for the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) control of mode-locked oscillators. An instrumental part of these technologies is the configuration of interferometers and the application of feedback control. Of the devices, the collinear ƒ–2ƒ interferometer developed in this work is compact and robust ag...
The finite-volume thermodynamics of a massive integrable QFT is described in terms of a grand canonical ensemble of loops immersed in a torus and interacting through scattering factors associated with their intersections. The path integral of the loops is evaluated explicitly after decoupling the pairwise interactions by a Hubbard-Stratonovich tran...

This work reports the successful excitation of a novel bulk acoustic mode whose actuation and sensing are facilitated by the support transducer topology (STT). The design methodology concurrently supports low motional impedance and high energy confinement features which are crucial for frequency reference components in Radio Frequency communication...

Mitotic centrosomes are formed when centrioles start to recruit large amounts of pericentriolar material (PCM) around themselves in preparation for mitosis. This centrosome "maturation" requires the centrioles and also Polo/PLK1 protein kinase. The PCM comprises several hundred proteins and, in Drosophila, Polo cooperates with the conserved centros...
The hydrodynamic interpretation of quantum mechanics treats a system of particles in an effective manner. In this work, we investigate squeezed coherent states within the hydrodynamic interpretation. The Hamiltonian operator in question is time dependent, n-dimensional and in quadratic order. We start by deriving a phase space Wigner probability di...
Current implementations of quantum bits (qubits) continue to undergo too many errors to be scaled into useful quantum machines. An emerging strategy is to encode quantum information in the two meta-stable pointer states of an oscillator exchanging pairs of photons with its environment, a mechanism shown to provide stability without inducing decoher...
We study a quantum many-body variant of the parametric oscillator, by investigating the driven sine-Gordon model with a modulated tunnel coupling via a semi-classical Truncated Wigner Approximation (TWA). We first analyze the parametric resonant regime for driving protocols that retain our model gapped, and compare the TWA to a Time-Dependent Varia...

Over the past two decades, the advancement in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has been making headway in the development of miniaturized mechanical structures with integrated electronics. By adopting the existing layer in the complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication platform, the so-called “CMOS-MEMS” technology offers an in...

Circadian rhythms convergently evolved to allow for optimal synchronization of individuals’ physiological and behavioral processes with the Earth’s 24-h periodic cycling of environmental light and temperature. Whereas the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is considered the primary pacemaker of the mammalian circadian system, many extra-SCN oscillatory ...
