Approaching nuclear interactions with lattice QCD 

    Illa Subiña, Marc (Fecha de defensa: 2021-09-09)

    Nuclei make up the majority of the visible matter in the Universe; obtaining a first principles description of the nuclear properties and interactions between nuclei directly from the underlying theory of the strong ...

    Decay of Doubly Strange Hypernuclei 

    Maneu Victoria, Jordi (Fecha de defensa: 2019-12-20)

    Double § hypernuclei are bound systems of several nucleons and two § hyperons. These systems are unstable with respect to the weak interaction and chiefly decay through two-body processes that conserve neither parity, ...

    Effective-theory description of heavy-flavored hadrons and their properties in a hot medium 

    Montaña Faiget, Glòria (Fecha de defensa: 2022-07-08)

    For many decades after the conception of the quark model in 1964, and the development of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) a few years later as the theory governing the strong interaction between quarks and gluons, there was ...

    Exotic phases of matter in low dimensional lattices: from quantum liquids to kinetic magnetism 

    Morera Navarro, Ivan (Fecha de defensa: 2023-07-10)

    [eng] In this Thesis we explore exotic phases of matter which arise when different mechanisms compete and favor different ground state configurations. We focus on two classes of low dimensional lattice systems. The first ...

    Holographic collisions and non-conformal dynamics 

    Triana Iglesias, Miquel (Fecha de defensa: 2017-09-21)

    The gauge/gravity duality has proven to be a very useful tool in the understanding of quantum field theories outside the perturbative regime. In particular, holography has been able to shed light not only on generic ...

    Holography applications in the strongly coupled sector: from QCD to the new physics 

    Katanaeva, Alisa (Fecha de defensa: 2021-02-10)

    AdS/CFT correspondence combines ideas of holography and duality in a way that allows one to make calculations in the otherwise hardly accessible (strongly coupled) regime of the target theory. In this thesis we are interested ...

    Interacting ultracold few-boson systems 

    Mujal Torreblanca, Pere (Fecha de defensa: 2019-11-22)

    In this thesis, we study the physical properties of several ultracold few-boson systems depending on the interactions between their constituents. Nowadays, experimentally, it is possible to have great control with high ...

    Leptonic CP Violation and its Origin 

    Esteban Muñoz, Iván (Fecha de defensa: 2020-09-10)

    At the end of the 20th century, experiments studying neutrinos coming from the Sun and cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere revealed that these particles can change their flavour, behaving in a way that the Standard Model ...

    Meson-Baryon interactions from effective Chiral Lagrangians 

    Feijoo Aliau, Albert (Fecha de defensa: 2017-09-21)

    The purpose of this thesis has been to study the S=-1 meson-baryon interaction in S-wave employing an effective chiral SU(3) lagrangian up to NLO and implementing unitarization in coupled channels. Such a study requires ...

    Multipartite entanglement and quantum algorithms 

    Alsina Leal, Daniel (Fecha de defensa: 2017-09-18)

    Quantum information science has grown from being a very small subfield in the 70s until being one of the most dynamic fields in physics, both in fundamentals and applications. In the theoretical section, perhaps the feature ...

    New insights into holography from supersymmetric localization 

    Torrents Verdaguer, Genís (Fecha de defensa: 2016-06-27)

    Maldacena's conjecture, often known as the holographic duality or the AdS/CFT correspondence, proposes an equivalence between gravitational theories in a hyperbolic space of a certain dimensionality and gauge theories ...

    Nonlocal Lagrangian Formalism 

    Heredia Pimienta, Carlos (Fecha de defensa: 2023-03-31)

    [eng] This thesis aims to study nonlocal Lagrangians with a finite and an infinite number of degrees of freedom. We obtain an extension of Noether's theorem and Noether's identities for such Lagrangians. We then set up a ...
