Signals comprised of a stream of short pulses appear in many applications including bio-imaging and radar. The recent finite rate of innovation framework, has paved the way to low rate sampling of such pulses by noticing that only a small…
Blind methods often separate or identify signals or signal subspaces up to an unknown scaling factor. Sometimes it is necessary to cope with the scaling ambiguity, which can be done through reconstructing signals as they are received by…
Noise on quantum devices is much more complex than it is commonly given credit. Far from usual models of decoherence, nearly all quantum devices are plagued both by a continuum of environments and temporal instabilities. These induce noisy…
The acoustic inverse obstacle scattering problem consists of determining the shape of a domain from measurements of the scattered far field due to some set of incident fields (probes). For a penetrable object with known sound speed, this…
Optical vibration sensing enables recovering the scene sound directly from the surface vibration of nearby objects, turning everyday objects into ``visual microphones''. However, most prior methods had focused on capturing the vibrations of…
Qubit noise spectroscopy is an important tool for the experimental investigation of open quantum systems. However, conventional techniques for noise spectroscopy are time-consuming, because they require measurements of the noise spectral…
Response functions of resonant circuits create ringing artefacts if their input changes rapidly. When physical limits of electromagnetic spectroscopies are explored, this creates two types of problems. Firstly, simulation: the system must…
