This work will discuss two experiments which seek to elucidate the asymmetry dependence of correlations in exotic nuclei. In the first experiment, a digital-signal-processing technique was developed to measure the neutron total cross section of the rare (but stable) isotope 48Ca…

Correlations and entanglement in a chain of three oscillators A,B,C with nearest neighbour coupling is studied. Oscillators A,B and B,C are coupled but there is no direct coupling between oscillators A,C. Examples with initial factorizable states are considered, and the time evo…

New effects can arise in quantum physics when there is strong coupling, either between atoms and light or between different quantum systems. This thesis examines an optical nanofiber atom trap as a mediator of atom-light interactions and a potential element of a hybrid quantum s…
