I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Prof.\ Dr.\ Gabriel Zachmann, for giving me the opportunity to carry out this thesis in an excellent research environment. I am especially grateful for the freedom he gave me to explore my own ideas, together with timely and constructive guidance whenever I needed it.
