We investigate the outbreak of anomalous quantum wavefunction amplitudes in a one-dimensional tight-binding lattice featuring correlated diagonal disorder. Such rogue-wave-like behavior is fostered by a competition between localization and…

Using a generalized nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, we investigate the transformation of a fundamental rogue wave to a collection of solitons. Taking the third-order dispersion, self-steepening, and Raman-induced self-frequency shift as…
Plane inertial waves are generated using a wavemaker, made of oscillating stacked plates, in a rotating water tank. Using particle image velocimetry, we observe that, after a transient, the primary plane wave is subject to a subharmonic…
