A distance measure is presented between two unitary propagators of quantum systems of differing dimensions along with a corresponding method of computation. A typical application is to compare the propagator of the actual (real) process…
A Beta-beam would be a high intensity source of pure $\nu_e$ and/or $\bar\nu_e$ flux with known spectrum, ideal for precision measurements. Myriad of possible set-ups with suitable choices of baselines, detectors and the beta-beam neutrino…
We develop a deterministic ab-initio model for the input-output relationship of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channel, starting from the Maxwell equations combined with Ohm's Law. The main technical tools are scattering…
The projection onto the intersection of sets generally does not allow for a closed form even when the individual projection operators have explicit descriptions. In this work, we systematically analyze the projection onto the intersection…
We consider time-harmonic electromagnetic wave equations in composites of a dispersive material surrounded by a classical material. In certain frequency ranges this leads to sign-changing permittivity and/or permeability. Previously meshing…
Via projection operator technology, we restrict our discussion of Double Quantum Dots system in subspaces of fixed electron population. When an incident electron tries to pass through the dots, we find transmission peaks occur, if the…
Eigenvalue estimates that are optimal in some sense have self-evident appeal and leave estimators with a sense of virtue and economy. So, it is natural that ongoing searches for effective strategies for difficult tasks such as estimating…
This article gives an analysis of the behavior of polarizing grids and reflecting polarizers by solving Maxwell's equations, for arbitrary angles of incidence and grid rotation, for cases where the excitation is provided by an incident…
Due to increasing environmental and economic constraints, optimization of ion beam transport and equipment design becomes essential. The future should be equipped with planet-friendly facilities, that is, solutions that reduce environmental…
At a future linear collider, a polarized electron beam will play an important role in interpreting new physics signals. Backgrounds to a new physics reaction can be reduced by choice of the electron polarization state. The origin of a new…
We propose simple schemes that can perfectly identify projective measurement apparatus secretly chosen from a finite set. Entanglements are used in these schemes both to make possible the perfect identification and to improve the efficiency…
The problem of practical preparing small impedance particles with a prescribed boundary impedance is formulated and its importance in physics and technology is discussed. It is shown that if this problem is solved then one can easily…
The concept of a plane scatterer that was developed earlier for scalar waves is generalized so that polarization of light is included. Starting from a Lippmann-Schwinger formalism for vector waves, we show that the Green function has to be…
We present several natural notions of distance between spectral density functions of (discrete-time) random processes. They are motivated by certain filtering problems. First we quantify the degradation of performance of a predictor which…
Shaping the reachable set of a dynamical system is a fundamental challenge in control design, with direct implications for both performance and safety. This paper considers the problem of selecting the optimal input matrix for a linear…
In this paper, we survey and refine several results -- some previously established in the literature -- that facilitate the construction of exponential bases on planar domains with explicit control over the associated frame bounds. We apply…
Physical processes that determine the generation of ion beams with a high emission current density in electrohydrodynamic emitters are considered. Electrohydrodynamic effects, which are manifested in the features of ion emission, and the…
Using linear projections one gets new inequalities for the successive minima of the lattice of sections of an hermitian line bundle on an arithmetic surface.
For given real or complex $m \times n$ data matrices $X$, $Y$, we investigate when there is a matrix $A$ such that $AX = Y$, and $A$ is invertible, Hermitian, positive (semi)definite, unitary, an orthogonal projection, a reflection, complex…
