Optothermal shaping of lamb waves with square and spiral phase fronts

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Aleksi Antoine Bossart, Janez Rus

We introduce a Lamb-wave medium with tunable propagation velocities, which are controlled by a two-dimensional heating pattern produced by a laser beam. We utilized it to demonstrate that waves in an appropriately designed medium can propagate in the form ...

Excited State-Specific CASSCF Theory for the Torsion of Ethylene

State-specific complete active space self-consistent field (SS-CASSCF) theory has emerged as a promising route to accurately predict electronically excited energy surfaces away from molecular equilibria. However, its accuracy and practicality for chemical ...

Soliton gas: Theory, numerics, and experiments

The concept of soliton gas was introduced in 1971 by Zakharov as an infinite collection of weakly interacting solitons in the framework of Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. In this theoretical construction of a diluted (rarefied) soliton gas, solitons with ...

Spin, Charge, and ?-Spin Separation in One-Dimensional Photodoped Mott Insulators

Philipp Georg Werner Seeberger

We show that effectively cold metastable states in one-dimensional photodoped Mott insulators described by the extended Hubbard model exhibit spin, charge, and q-spin separation. Their wave functions in the large on-site Coulomb interaction limit can be ex ...

A KL Divergence-Based Loss for In Vivo Ultrafast Ultrasound Image Enhancement with Deep Learning

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Roser Vinals Terres

Ultrafast ultrasound imaging, characterized by high frame rates, generates low-quality images. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated great potential to enhance image quality without compromising the frame rate. However, CNNs have been most ...

Fermionic wave functions from neural-network constrained hidden states

Giuseppe Carleo

We introduce a systematically improvable family of variational wave functions for the simulation of strongly correlated fermionic systems. This family consists of Slater determinants in an augmented Hilbert space involving “hidden” additional fermionic deg ...

Revealing higher-order light and matter energy exchanges using quantum trajectories in ultrastrong coupling

Fabrizio Minganti

The dynamics of open quantum systems is often modeled using master equations, which describe the expected outcome of an experiment (i.e., the average over many realizations of the same dynamics). Quantum trajectories, instead, model the outcome of ideal si ...

Nonlinear Inverse Problems in Quantitative Phase Imaging

Thanh-An Michel Pham

The topic of this thesis is the development of new algorithmic reconstruction methods for quantitative phase imaging (QPI). In the past decade, advanced QPI has emerged as a valuable tool to study label-free biological samples and uncover their 3D structur ...

Analytical Expressions for Lightning Electromagnetic Fields With Arbitrary Channel-Base Current—Part I: Theory

Marcos Rubinstein

The article provides analytical expressions for the electromagnetic fields generated by a lightning return stroke characterized by a channel-base current with arbitrary time waveform, in presence of either a perfectly conducting or a lossy ground, assuming ...

Nonreciprocity in Uniform Time-Varying Materials Using Spatial Dispersion

Xiaoqiang Wang, Mohammad Sajjad Mirmoosa, Xiao Wang

Conventionally, nonreciprocity in time-varying systems is achieved by exploiting both temporal and spatial modulations. In this paper, we introduce a concept of magnetless bianisotropic time-modulated systems that support nonreciprocal wave propagation at ...

Nonreciprocity in Bianisotropic Systems with Uniform Time Modulation

Xiaoqiang Wang, Mohammad Sajjad Mirmoosa, Xiao Wang

Physical systems with material properties modulated in time provide versatile routes for designing magnetless nonreciprocal devices. Traditionally, nonreciprocity in such systems is achieved exploiting both temporal and spatial modulations, which inevitabl ...

Topology and broken Hermiticity

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

Topology and symmetry have emerged as compelling guiding principles to predict and harness the propagation of waves in natural and artificial materials. Be it for quantum particles (such as electrons) or classical waves (such as light, sound or mechanical ...

Quantum interference effects of out-of-plane confinement on two-dimensional electron systems in oxides

Emmanouil Frantzeskakis, Ji Dai

It was recently discovered that a conductive, metallic state is formed on the surface of some insulating oxides. First observed on SrTiO3 (001), it was then found in other compounds as diverse as anatase TiO2, KTaO3, BaTiO3, ZnO, and also on different surf ...

From quantum spin chains to square lattice Heisenberg anti-ferromagnets

Noore Elahi Shaik

This thesis presents a theoretical study of the Heisenberg model on a two dimensional lattice with asymmetric couplings along x and y directions. By gradually varying the coupling along y-direction we traverse the 1D, quasi 1D and 2D domains of this model. ...

Local control theory for superconducting qubits

Ivano Tavernelli, Sara Bonella

In this work, we develop a method to design control pulses for fixed-frequency superconducting qubits coupled via tunable couplers based on local control theory, an approach commonly employed to steer chemical reactions. Local control theory provides an al ...

Stability of standing waves for a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with delta potentials

François Samer Genoud

In this paper, we study local well-posedness and orbital stability of standing waves for a singularly perturbed one-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. We first establish local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem by a fixed point argument. Unlike ...
