An invisibility device should guide light around an object as if nothing were there, regardless where the light comes from. Ideal invisibility devices are impossible due to the wave nature of light. This paper develops a general recipe for…

We investigate some aspects of the module $L$ equipped with the property that $Tor_1^R(L, F) =0$ implies that $F$ is free. This has some applications.

We find radiation in an infalling frame and present an explicit analytic evidence of the failure of no drama condition by showing that an infalling observer finds an infinite negative energy density at the event horizon. The negative and…

Scalable frames are frames with the property that the frame vectors can be rescaled resulting in tight frames. However, if a frame is not scalable, one has to aim for an approximate procedure. For this, in this paper we introduce three…

We address a problem of Casimir apparatus in dense medium and weak gravitational field. The falling of the apparatus has to be governed by the equivalence principle, with proper account for contributions to the weight of the apparatus from…

This paper demonstrates that the safety override arising from the use of a barrier function can in some cases be needlessly restrictive. In particular, we examine the case of fixed-wing collision avoidance and show that when using a barrier…

In this paper, we will construct the graph free product of noncommutative probability space. This is the attempt to explain and observe the combinatorial-object-depending probabilistic structure.

Quantum mechanics predicts that our physical reality is influenced by events that can potentially happen but factually do not occur. Interaction-free measurements (IFMs) exploit this counterintuitive influence to detect the presence of an…

In this paper we show that interaction-free measurements, which have been object of much discussion in the last few decades, can be explained in a natural and intuitive way in the framework of complex nonlinear quantum physics, contrary to…

A new simply constructed, easy-to-make demonstration of Hero's fountain is presented. The apparatus doesn't have a vessel above a fountain nozzle or a pump and can be considered as one of the best demonstration of Pascal and Bernoulli's…

Using the complementary wave- and particle-like natures of photons, it is possible to make ``interaction-free'' measurements where the presence of an object can be determined with no photons being absorbed. We investigated several…

We study the possibility of revealing a weak coherent force by using a pendular mirror as a probe, and coupling this to a radiation field, which acts as the meter, in a cavityless configuration. We determine the sensitivity of such a scheme…

Flatness of discrete-time systems can be characterized by two simple properties. There exists a map, a submersion, from the flat coordinates and their forward shifts to the state and the input of the discrete-time system, such that the…

We study the problem of determining whether a given frame is scalable, and when it is, understanding the set of all possible scalings. We show that for most frames this is a relatively simple task in that the frame is either not scalable or…
