Congratulations on being close to the finish line with your dissertation or thesis.
After you’ve applied to graduate and enrolled, dissertations and theses may be submitted online through the Dissertation & Thesis Center in Axess.
Once you finish submitting your dissertation or thesis in Axess, and it has been approved by the university, the submission is considered final and no further changes are permitted.
The electronic submission process is free of charge and allows you the ability to check your pre-submission requirements and when ready, upload a digital copy of your dissertation or thesis.
You can learn more about the center on the How to Use the Dissertation & Thesis Center webpage.

Note: The online submission process is not available for master's theses or undergraduate honors theses. Please consult with your department directly regarding submission procedures.
Follow these guides to ensure you meet all the requirements for submitting your dissertation or thesis.

Submission Deadlines for Conferral
You must apply to graduate and enroll before you can access the Dissertation & Thesis Center in Axess.
The Dissertation & Thesis Center opens to submissions on the first day of instruction each quarter for which the student has applied to graduate.
The quarterly deadlines are set as late in the quarter as possible, providing the time necessary for review of the dissertation or thesis, including review of final degree requirements by the Registrar's Office and the departments.
You are strongly encouraged to submit your work at least two weeks prior to the deadline to ensure that all requirements can be met in time for the conferral of your degree.
Once you finish submitting your dissertation or thesis in Axess, and it has been approved by the university, the submission is considered final and no further changes are permitted.
After the final reader approves the dissertation, it typically takes about seven (7) business days for the university to process the submission.

COMMENTS
After an introduction discussing the physics behind STM and atomic manipulation in general, this thesis will discuss each of these systems in turn, including both the experiments performed on these systems and potential for future work.
This thesis presents experimental results from the Stanford 10 m atom drop tower. We use atomic physics and laser spectroscopic techniques to test both general relativity and quantum mechanics. By dropping different types of atoms and observing their free-fall accelerations, it will be possible to test the equivalence principle and other ...
