Eric Küpper

Bio [2007]
Eric Küpper is a student at Eton College, who plans to finish next year. This year, he is planning on applying to universities in the United States, where he will study physics. At the moment he is very interested in particle physics and quantum theory. Last summer for a few weeks he worked in Prof. Hänsch's group at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in a junior research group. His outdoor hobbies include skiing, tennis and scuba diving.

Project Title
Analyzing the Complexity of System Including BitXOr and BitAnd

Project
The purpose of this project was to systematically investigate the behavior of the rules x -> BitXor[a x, b x] and x -> BitAnd[a x, b x]. Typically, a rule space with a simple definition will contain those with simple behavior as well as some with interesting behavior. Even those with simple behavior are likely to be a challenge to completely understand their behavior. It will also be interesting to find some with complex behavior that contain localized structures.
