Abstract:
This report provides a new theoretical measure for the nonlocality of an arbitrary three-qubit pure state system similar to the method used to describe tripartite entanglement, resulting in a concept referred to as residual nonlocality, η. This report also investigates the special cases that can be encountered when using η. This method assigns a numerical value between 0 and 1 in order to indicate the degree of nonlocality between three-qubits. It was discovered that η has the characteristic of being consistently larger or equal to the value found for the residual entanglement which can provid

Abstract:
Despite the success of quantum mechanics in predicting the outcomes of experiments in many branches of physics, the foundations of the theory have remained subject of research and dispute. At the basis of this struggle with the theory lie the phenomena of nonlocality and entanglement. Since it was first predicted by Bell in 1964, nonlocality was not only verified in numerous experiments, but also identified as a useful resource for quantum information processing. Thus, the study of nonlocality is important both from a fundamental point of view and with respect to new applications in quantum in

Abstract:
The twentieth century was marked by two scientific revolutions. On the one hand, quantum mechanics questioned our understanding of nature and physics. On the other hand, came the realisation that information could be treated as a mathematical quantity. They together brought forward the age of information. A conceptual leap took place in the 1980's, that consisted in treating information in a quantum way as well. The idea that the intuitive notion of information could be governed by the counter-intuitive laws of quantum mechanics proved extremely fruitful, both from fundamental and applied

In this second part of the thesis, we turn to the study of thermodynamics at the quantum scale, with a special focus on small thermal machines. To begin with, in Chapter 4, we look at the concept of a virtual temperature, as introduced in [43]. This is a temperature calculated for any pair of energy levels in a diagonal state by matching the ratio of its populations to the Gibbs state. The small quantum fridge introduced in Chapter 5, as well as all of the other small quantum thermal machines may be understood in terms of the virtual temperatures that they are able to generate within a system.

Abstract:
Bell's Theorem demonstrates that factorizable theories for the EPR experiment (EPR) cannot reproduce the quantum correlations. Factorizability is motivated by various locality conditions. So to understand the nature of nonlocality in EPR, we first need to understand the conceptual relations between factorizability, these various locality conditions and the nature of the quantum correlations. That is the main focus of my thesis. My main conclusion is that these conceptual relations are more subtle than the literature has usually suggested. Chapter 1 is a general introduction.

This thesis is a tale of two stories. The first half of this thesis is dedicated to the study of nonlocality. We know that nature is inherently nonlocal, however, the nonlocal correlations allowed by quantum mechanics are limited; we could conceivably have correlations which are 'more' nonlocal and still cause no conflict with relativity. In this thesis I explore this limita- tion by studying nonlocality beyond quantum mechanics from a number of directions, relating mostly to dynamics and transformations.

We are able to demonstrate the reality of empty waves (that is, waves without a particle) if we make three realist motivated assumptions. The main part o

In the present work we show that analogous results hold for flows. Specifically, on any smooth manifold with dimension greater than or equal to three there exists an open set of flows such that each flow in the open set contains a hyperbolic set that is not contained in a locally maximal one.

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte essentiellement sur les corrélations quantiques et les fluctuations non-lineaires dans les fluides quantiques. Elle se concentre spéficiquement sur les fluctuations quantiques collectives, à savoir les ondes sonores, dans le flux stationnaire d'un quasi- condensat 1D de Bose-Einstein qui présente un horizon acoustique, c'est-à-dire une transition du flux d'un régime subsonique à un régime supersonique. Les phénomènes quantiques générés par la présence de l'horizon sont étudiés. La thèse présente également un bref excursus sur les turbulences dans un fluide quantique bidimensi

Abstract:
Symmetry methods are important in the analysis of differential equation (DE) systems. In this thesis, we focus on two significant topics in symmetry analysis: nonlocally related partial differential equation (PDE) systems and the application of the nonclassical method. In particular, we introduce a new systematic symmetry-based method for constructing nonlocally related PDE systems (inverse potential systems). It is shown that each point symmetry of a given PDE system systematically yields a nonlocally related PDE system. Examples include applications to nonlinear reaction-diffusion equ

In dieser Arbeit werden die nichtlokalen sowie nichtlinearen Eigenschaften plasmonischer Nanopartikel behandelt, wie sie im hydrodynamischen Modell enthalten sind. Das hydrodynamische Materialmodell stellt eine Erweiterung des Drude Modells dar, in der Korrekturen in der Beschreibung des Elektronenplasmas berücksichtigt werden. Einer ausführlichen Einführung des Materialmodells folgt eine analytische Diskussion der Auswirkungen der Nichtlokalität am Beispiel eines einzelnen Zylinders. Hierbei werden die durch die Nichtlokalität herbeigeführten Frequenzverschiebungen in den Streu- und Absorptio

Abstract:
A Hidden Markov Model generates two basic stochastic processes, a Markov chain, which is hidden, and an observation sequence. The filtering process of a Hidden Markov Model is, roughly speaking, the sequence of conditional distributions of the hidden Markov chain that is obtained as new observations are received. It is well-known, that the filtering process itself, is also a Markov chain. A classical, theoretical problem is to find conditions which implies that the distributions of the filtering process converge towards a unique limit measure. This problem goes back to a paper of D Blackwell f

Abstract:
Quantum mechanics is nonlocal, meaning it cannot be described by any classical local hidden variable model. In this thesis we study two aspects of quantum nonlocality. Part I addresses the question of what classical resources are required to simulate nonlocal quantum correlations. We start by constructing new local models for noisy entangled quantum states. These constructions exploit the connection between nonlocality and Grothendieck's inequality, first noticed by Tsirelson. Next, we consider local models augmented by a limited amount of classical communication. After generalizing Bell in
