When two piezoelectric solids are placed in close proximity, acoustic waves (phonons) can "tunnel" across a vacuum gap transmitting energy between the two solids. Here, we demonstrate analytically that not only is such a phenomenon…

We use an one dimensional model of a square barrier embedded in an infinite potential well to demonstrate that tunneling leads to a complex behavior of the wave function and that the degree of complexity may be quantified by use of the…

Underwater quantum communication has recently been explored using polarization and orbital angular momentum. Here, we show that spatially structured modes, e.g., a coherent superposition of beams carrying both polarization and orbital…

We consider the decay of vortices trapped in the false vacuum of a theory of scalar electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions. The potential is inspired by models with intermediate symmetry breaking to a metastable vacuum that completely breaks a…

Cloaking elastic waves has, in contrast to the cloaking of electromagnetic waves, remained a fundamental challenge: the latter successfully uses the invariance of Maxwell's equations, from which the field of transformational optics has…

A channel should be built to transmit information from one place to another. Imaging is 2 or higher dimensional information communication. Conventionally, an imaging channel comprises a lens and free spaces of its both sides. The transfer…

The characterization problem of the existence of an unknown obstacle behind a known obstacle is considered by using a singe observed wave at a place where the wave is generated. The unknown obstacle is invisible from the place by using…
