Vertical oscillation of a fluid interface above a critical amplitude excites the Faraday instability, typically manifesting itself as a standing wave pattern. Fundamentally, the phenomenon is an example of parametric resonance. At high…
Wave-like spatial statistics in walking-droplet quantum analogs are typically attributed to spatial or temporal nonlocal wave effects. We show instead that such behavior arises generically from the low-dimensional nonlinear dynamics of an…
