The main subject of this thesis is the investigation of the transformations of pure multipartite entangled states having Schmidt rank 2 by using only local operations assisted with classical communications (LOCC). A new parameterization is used for describing the entangled state of p particles distributed to p distant, spatially separated persons. Product, bipartite and truly multipartite states are identified in this new parametrization. Moreover, alternative parameterizations of local operations carried out by each party are provided. For the case of a deterministic transformation to a truly multipartite final state, one can find an analytic expression that determines whether such a transformation is possible. In this case, a chain of measurements by each party for carrying out the transformation is found. It can also be seen that, under deterministic LOCC transformations, there are some quantities that remain invariant. For the purpose of applying the results of this thesis in the context of the quantum information and computation, brief reviews of the entanglement purification, measurement based quantum computation and quantum codes are given.

Environmental effects on quantum geometric phase and quantum entanglement Günhan, Ali Can; Pak, Namık Kemal; Department of Physics (2008) We investigate the geometric phase (GP) acquired by the states of a spin-1/2 nucleus which is subject to a static magnetic field. This nucleus as the carrier system of GP, is taken as coupled to a dissipative environment, so that it evolves non-unitarily. We study the effects of different characteristics of different environments on GP as nucleus evolves in time. We showed that magnetic field strength is the primary physical parameter that determines the stability of GP; its stability decreases as the magne...
Quantum systems and representation theorem Dosi, Anar (2013-09-01) In this paper we investigate quantum systems which are locally convex versions of abstract operator systems. Our approach is based on the duality theory for unital quantum cones. We prove the unital bipolar theorem and provide a representation theorem for a quantum system being represented as a quantum -system.
Nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor heterostructures Yıldırım, Hasan; Tomak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2006) The nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor heterostructures, such as GaAsAl/GaAs alloys, are studied with analytic and numerical methods on the basis of quantum mechanics. Particularly, second and third-order nonlinear optical properties of quantum wells described by the various types of confining potentials are considered within the density matrix formalism. We consider a Pöschl-Teller type potential which has been rarely considered in this area. It has a tunable asymmetry parameter, making it a goo...
Generation and simulations of nanostructures of cage structures Taşcı, Emre; Erkoç, Şakir; Department of Physics (2007) This thesis proposes algorithms to construct various nanosystems such as nanotori, nanogear and nanojunctions based on graphite type structures, exploiting the observed pentagonal and heptagonal defects. These produced systems are then simulated to test for their thermal stability and for their electronic properties. A brief review of the methods used is also included.
Multipath Characteristics of Frequency Diverse Arrays Over a Ground Plane Cetintepe, Cagri; Demir, Şimşek (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-07-01) This paper presents a theoretical framework for an analytical investigation of multipath characteristics of frequency diverse arrays (FDAs), a task which is attempted for the first time in the open literature. In particular, transmitted field expressions are formulated for an FDA over a perfectly conducting ground plane first in a general analytical form, and these expressions are later simplified under reasonable assumptions. Developed formulation is then applied to a uniform, linear, continuous-wave opera...
