The central limit theorem provides the theoretical foundation for the universality of the normal distribution: under broad conditions, the asymptotic distribution of a sum of independent random variables approaches a Gaussian. Yet, physical…

We present theoretical calculations of the ensemble-averaged (a.k.a. effective or coherent) wavefield propagating in a heterogeneous medium considered as one realization of a random process. In the literature, it is usually assumed that…

It has been generally believed that the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel capacity grows linearly with the size of antenna arrays. In terms of degrees of freedom, linear transmit and receive arrays of length $L$ in a scattering…

We study electromagnetic wave propagation in mediums in which the effective relative permittivity and the effective relative permeability are allowed to take any value in the upper half of the complex plane. A general condition is derived…

In this correspondence the cumulants of the mutual information of the flat Rayleigh fading amplify-and-forward MIMO relay channel without direct link between source and destination are derived in the large array limit. The analysis is based…

In this paper, we first present an outer bound for a general interference channel with a cognitive relay, i.e., a relay that has non-causal knowledge of both independent messages transmitted in the interference channel. This outer bound…

Because the desire to explore opaque materials is ordinarily frustrated by multiple scattering of waves, attention has focused on the transmission matrix of the wave field. This matrix gives the fullest account of transmission and…

The cognitive interference channel is an interference channel in which one transmitter is non-causally provided with the message of the other transmitter. This channel model has been extensively studied in the past years and capacity…

In an ultrasonic array system, increasing the aperture size to achieve a high resolution requires more transmit and receive channels, thus making it essential to have an analysis technique that can reconstruct the shape and physical…

We develop some new analytic bounds on transmission probabilities (and the related reflection probabilities and Bogoliubov coefficients) for generic one-dimensional scattering problems. To do so we rewrite the Schrodinger equation for some…

Scattering of electromagnetic (EM) waves by many small particles (bodies) embedded in a homogeneous medium is studied. Physical properties of the particles are described by their boundary impedances. The limiting equation is obtained for…

We derive fundamental lower bounds on the performance of optical metrology and communication systems in a Bayesian framework. The derivation uses classical rate-distortion theory in conjunction with bounds on the capacity to transmit…

Capacity bounds for waveform channels under square-law detection of time-limited complex-valued signals are derived. The upper bound is the capacity of the channel under (complex-valued) coherent detection. The lower bound is one bit less,…

A state-dependent discrete memoryless multiple access channel is considered to model an integrated sensing and communication system, where two transmitters wish to convey messages to a receiver while simultaneously estimating the state…

Light diffusion is usually associated with thick, opaque media. Indeed, multiple scattering is necessary for the onset of the diffusive regime and such condition is generally not met in almost transparent media. Nonetheless, at long enough…

Global physical properties of random media change qualitatively at a percolation threshold, where isolated clusters merge to form one infinite connected component. The precise knowledge of percolation thresholds is thus of paramount…

Information must take up space, must weigh, and its flux must be limited. Quantum limits on communication and information storage leading to these conclusions are here described. Quantum channel capacity theory is reviewed for both steady…
