NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award project: Probing Exotic Fields. This project was conducted under the supervision of Professor Niayesh Afshordi. We were studying the possibility of using orbital quantum sensors to probe exotic scalar signals, such as (hypothetical) scalar radiations from binary black hole/neutron star mergers and the (hypothetical) cosmic scalar background predicted by some theoretical models. We have submitted our first paper on detecting cosmological scalar fields using orbital networks of quantum sensors to arXiv https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.17873. The second paper on probing scalar radiations from binary black hole/neutron star mergers is under construction.   

IQC Undergraduate Research Award project: Approximately band-limited functions. This project was conducted under the supervision of Professor Eduardo Martin-Martinez. We were studying the sampling theory for non-band-limited functions and its applications, especially in superoscillations. Ultimately, we want to generalize the results in https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4996135 to the more realistic non-band-limited case and resolve some of the issues raised in this paper. We have also proposed a new way to characterize superoscillations, which is more general and robust than the widely used method. The manuscript is on arXiv https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.17703 and submitted to Journal of Physics A.
