In order to achieve quantum interference of free electrons inside a solid, we have modified the geometry of the solid so that de Broglie waves interfere destructively inside the solid. Quantum interference of de Broglie waves leads to a…
In this paper, we perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the two-dimensional packing process of both monosized and random size particles with radii ranging from $1.0 \, \mu m$ to $7.0 \, \mu m$. The system was allowed to…
Granular intrusion is commonly observed in natural and human-made settings. Unlike typical solids and fluids, granular media can simultaneously display fluid-like and solid-like characteristics in a variety of intrusion scenarios. This…
The double-slit experiment strikingly demonstrates the wave-particle duality of quantum objects. In this famous experiment, particles pass one-by-one through a pair of slits and are detected on a distant screen. A distinct wave-like pattern…
Some features of random networks with excitable nodes that are embeddable in the Euclidean space are not describable in terms of the conventional integrate and fire model (IFM) alone, and some further details should be involved. In the…
Intrusions into granular media are common in natural and engineered settings (e.g. during animal locomotion and planetary landings). While intrusion of complex shapes in dry non-cohesive granular materials is well studied, less is known…
Radiation back-fluxes, generated from neutron-material interactions in fusion power reactors, can dramatically impact the plasma dynamics, e.g., by seeding runaway electrons during disruptions via Compton scattering of background electrons…
We consider a class of multi-particle reinforced interacting random walks. In this model, there are some (finite or infinite) particles performing random walks on a given (finite or infinite) connected graph, so that each particle has…
Intruder mechanics in a granular aggregate is a common subject in engineering and geotechnical applications. However, most studies are limited to spherical intruders or small displacement regimes up to the point of failure. In this work we…

The transport of independent active Brownian particles within a two-dimensional narrow channel, modeled as an open-wedge, is studied both numerically and theoretically. We show that the active force tends to localize the particles near the…
Single three dimensional polymers confined to a slab, i.e. to the region between two parallel plane walls, are studied by Monte Carlo simulations. They are described by $N$-step walks on a simple cubic lattice confined to the region $1 \le…
We carry out a direct comparison of experimental and numerical realizations of the exact same granular system as it undergoes shear jamming. We adjust the numerical methods used to optimally represent the experimental settings and outcomes…
We give experimental grounding for the remarkable observation made by Furuberg et al. in Ref. [furuberg1988] of an unusual dynamic scaling for the pair correlation function $N(r,t)$ during the slow drainage of a porous medium. The authors…
A very interesting quantum mechanical effect is the emergence of gravity-induced interference, which has already been detected. This effect also shows us that gravity is at the quantum level not a purely geometric effect, the mass of the…
We compute the mean square displacement (MSD) of intruders immersed in a freely cooling granular gas made up of smooth inelastic hard spheres. In general, intruders and particles of the granular gas are assumed to have different mechanical…
