We revisit the HED Method for the Mullins-Sekerka evolution in the plane. We identify a natural notion of distance, intrinsic to the interface itself. Using this distance, the energy, and the dissipation, we develop natural assumptions on…

We propose a robust approach to spin squeezing with local interactions that approaches the Heisenberg limit of phase sensitivity. To generate the requisite entanglement, we generalize the paradigmatic two-axis countertwisting Hamiltonian --…

Fluid flows in coupled systems consisting of a free-flow region and the adjacent porous medium appear in a variety of environmental settings and industrial applications. In many applications, fluid flow is non-parallel to the fluid-porous…
