The time-reversal mirror (TRM) prescribes the reverse playback of a signal to focalize an acoustic excitation as a Loschmidt echo. In the quantum domain, the perfect inverse filter (PIF) processes this signal to ensure an exact reversion…

When waves propagate through a complex or heterogeneous medium the wave field is corrupted by the heterogeneities. Such corruption limits the performance of imaging or communication schemes. One may then ask the question: is there an…

Invariably, time-reversal symmetry (TRS) violation in a state of matter is identified with static magnetism in it. Here, a directional scalar spin chiral order (DSSCO) phase is introduced that disobeys this basic principle: it breaks TRS…
