• Numerical simulation of quantum spins in a dissipative environment. 

  Dlamini, Nkosinathi B. (2016)

  When modelling real physical systems, one should always consider the influence of the environment. The study of open quantum systems aims precisely at the assessment of the role of the environment in the evolution of ...

• Studies on the influence of magnetic cloud, stream interface and polar mesospheric summer echoes in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region using model calculations and observations. 

  Ogunjobi, Olakunle.

  The response of Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (MLT) temperature to energetic particle precipitation over the Earth's polar regions is not uniform due to complex phenomena within the MLT environment. Nevertheless, the ...

• An investigation of the nature of Pc5 pulsations using SuperDARN and magnetometer data. 

  Mtumela, Zolile.

  Pc5 pulsations are global magnetohydrodynamic events in the magnetosphere. We employed an Automated Pulsation Finder program to identify significant Pc5 pulsation events in SuperDARN data. Those events for which a resonance ...

• Development of encoding and entanglement for free space quantum key distribution. 

  Ismail, Yaseera.

  It is established that the manipulation of quantum information is bound only by the laws of physics and thus information can be characterised, quantified and processed as a physical entity using the basic properties of ...
