In order to analyze the effect of chaos or order on the rate of decoherence in a subsystem we aim to distinguish effects of the two types of dynamics from those depending on the choice of the wave packet. To isolate the former we introduce…

Atmospheric effects, such as turbulence and background thermal noise, inhibit the propagation of coherent light used in ON-OFF keying free-space optical communication. Here we present and experimentally validate a convolutional neural…

Spatial filtering is a commonly deployed technique to improve the quality of laser beams by optically filtering the noise. In the "textbook" example, the noise is usually assumed to be high frequency and the laser beam, Gaussian. In this…

We study how coherent scattering of a background gas off an atom (or other matter) interferometer can lead to enhanced signals from phase shifts and contrast loss. We focus on the inclusion of realistic features of atom interferometers such…

Coherence has been used as a resource for optical communications since its earliest days. It is widely used for multiplexing of data, but not for encoding of data. Here we introduce a coding scheme, which we call \textit{mutual coherence…

Decoherence is the main process behind the quantum to classical transition. It is a purely quantum mechanical effect by which the system looses its ability to exhibit coherent behavior. The recent experimental observation of diffraction and…

The mechanism of decoherence for a quantum system with rotational degrees of freedom is studied. From a simple model of elastic scattering, we show that the non-diagonal density matrix elements of the system exponentially decay. The decay…

We address the problem of decomposing a single image into reflectance and shading. The difficulty comes from the fact that the components of image---the surface albedo, the direct illumination, and the ambient illumination---are coupled…

Optical diffraction tomography is an indispensable tool for studying objects in three-dimensions due to its ability to accurately reconstruct scattering objects. Until now this technique has been limited to coherent light because spatial…

A new algorithm, termed subspace evolution and transfer (SET), is proposed for solving the consistent matrix completion problem. In this setting, one is given a subset of the entries of a low-rank matrix, and asked to find one low-rank…

Nighttime images captured under hazy conditions suffer from severe quality degradation, including low visibility, color distortion, and reduced contrast, caused by the combined effects of atmospheric scattering, absorption by suspended…

Scientific imaging often involves long acquisition times to obtain high-quality data, especially when probing complex, heterogeneous systems. However, reducing acquisition time to increase throughput inevitably introduces significant noise…
