It was proposed that perfect invisibility cloaks can be constructed for hiding objects from electromagnetic illumination (Pendry et al., Science 312, p. 1780). The cylindrical cloaks experimentally demonstrated (Schurig et al., Science 314,…
Existing data-driven methods for draping garments over human bodies, despite being effective, cannot handle garments of arbitrary topology and are typically not end-to-end differentiable. To address these limitations, we propose an…

The traditional view in numerical conformal mapping is that once the boundary correspondence function has been found, the map and its inverse can be evaluated by contour integrals. We propose that it is much simpler, and 10-1000 times…
Cloaking is typically reciprocal. We introduce here the concept of \emph{transmittable nonreciprocal cloaking} whereby the cloaking system operates as a standard omnidirectional cloak for external illumination, but can transmit light from…

Coordinate-transformation approaches to invisibility cloaking rely on the design of an anisotropic, spatially inhomogeneous "transformation medium" capable of suitably re-routing the energy flux around the region to conceal without causing…
While bodies change over time and trends vary, most store-bought clothing comes in fixed sizes and styles and fails to adapt to these changes. Alterations can enable small changes to otherwise static garments, but these changes often…
This paper explores the numerical conformal bootstrap in general spacetime dimensions through the lens of a distinct category of analytic functionals, previously employed in two-dimensional studies. We extend the application of these…
