For some kernel matrices, low-rank approximations can be quickly obtained via analytic techniques. One important class of analytic methods that has received attention in recent years is based on the use of proxy points. Accuracy analysis…
Laser noise is a decisive limiting factor in high precision spectroscopy of narrow lines using atomic ensembles. In an idealized Doppler and differential light shift free magic wavelength lattice configuration, it remains as one distinct…

Lasers essentially consist of single-mode optical cavities containing two-level atoms with a supply of energy called the pump and a sink of energy, perhaps an optical detector. The latter converts the light energy into a sequence of…
