We study a finite system of diffusions on the half-line, absorbed when they hit zero, with a correlation effect that is controlled by the proportion of the processes that have been absorbed. As the number of processes in the system becomes…
Heat can generally transfer via thermal conduction, thermal radiation, and thermal convection. All the existing theories of transformation thermotics and optics can treat thermal conduction and thermal radiation, respectively.…

A stochastic system under the influence of a stochastic environment is correlated with both present and future states of the environment. Such a system can be seen as implicitly implementing a predictive model of future environmental…

An acoustic cloak envelopes an object so that sound incident from all directions passes through and around the cloak as though the object were not present. A theory of acoustic cloaking is developed using the transformation or…

The low-lying Dirac modes become localised at the finite-temperature transition in QCD and in other gauge theories, suggesting a general connection between their localisation and deconfinement. The simplest model where this connection can…
For the heat equation in a bounded domain we give a stability result for a smooth diffusion coefficient. The key ingredients are a global Carleman-type estimate, a Poincar\'e-type estimate and an energy estimate with a single observation…
We describe families of potentials which act as approximate cloaks for matter waves, i.e., for solutions of the time-independent Schr\"odinger equation at energy $E$, with applications to the design of ion traps. These are derived from…
In this work we theoretically propose scattering cancellation-based cloaks for heat waves that obey the Maxwell-Cattaneo equation. The proposed cloaks possess carefully tailored diffusivity to cancel the dipole scattering from the object…
We propose a realization of a transformation-based acoustic temporal cloak using an active closed-loop control approach to an equivalent electromagnetic problem. Unlike the more common spatial cloaks the goal of which is hiding fixed…
We study the diffusion (or heat) equation on a finite 1-dimensional spatial domain, but we replace one of the boundary conditions with a "nonlocal condition", through which we specify a weighted average of the solution over the spatial…
We demonstrate that the presence of entanglement in macroscopic bodies (e.g. solids) in thermodynamical equilibrium could be revealed by measuring heat-capacity. The idea is that if the system were in a separable state, then for certain…
