We study the problem of determining uniquely a time-dependent singular potential $q$, appearing in the wave equation $\partial_t^2u-\Delta_x u+q(t,x)u=0$ in $Q=(0,T)\times\Omega$ with $T>0$ and $\Omega$ a $ \mathcal C^2$ bounded domain of…

Coherent control of wave transmission and reflection is crucial for applications in communication, imaging, and sensing. However, many practical scenarios involve partially coherent waves rather than fully coherent ones. We present a…
