We analyze the validity of reflection positivity in the classification of invertible phases of quantum spin systems. We provide a mathematical model in which every 2d invertible state admits a reflection-positive representative. We prove…
A reflection model with three components, a specular spike, a specular lobe and a diffuse lobe is discussed. This model was successfully applied to describe reflection of xenon scintillation light (175 nm) by PTFE and other fluoropolymers…
We study the one dimensional time dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation for a potential step with $E < V_0$. We obtain the wave is not instantaneously reflected, but for a few moment of time the wave packet penetrate into inaccessible…
We reduce the broken ray transform on some Riemannian manifolds (with corners) to the geodesic ray transform on another manifold, which is obtained from the original one by reflection. We give examples of this idea and present injectivity…

We present a theory of quantum-coherent transport through a lateral p-n-p structure in graphene, which fully accounts for the interference of forward and backward scattering on the p-n interfaces. The backreflection amplitude changes sign…

In this paper, a new inversion model for 2D microwave imaging is introduced by means of a convenient rewriting of the usual Lippmann Schwinger integral scattering equation. Such model is derived by decomposing the Greens function and the…
We consider the quantum scattering from a random potential of strength $\lambda^{1/2}$ and with a support on the scale of the mean free path, which is of order $\lambda^{-1}$. On the basis of maximally crossed diagrams we provide a concise…
We propose a model for realizing frequency-dependent spatial variations of the probe susceptibility in a cold atomic sample. It is found that the usual Kramers-Kronig (KK) relation between real and imaginary parts of the probe…
This is a pedagogical account on reaction-diffusion systems and their relationship with integrable quantum spin chains. Reaction-diffusion systems are paradigmatic examples of non-equilibrium systems. Their long-time behaviour is strongly…
We analyse the optical (or microwave) tunnelling properties of electromagnetic waves passing through thin films presenting a specific index profile providing a cut-off frequency, when they are used below this frequency. We show that…
A novel differential calculus with central inner product is introduced for kappa-Minkowski space. The `bad' behaviour of this differential calculus is discussed with reference to symplectic quantisation and A-infinity algebras. Using this…
We review recent progress in analysing wave scattering in systems with both intrinsic chaos and/or disorder and internal losses, when the scattering matrix is no longer unitary. By mapping the problem onto a nonlinear supersymmetric…
We find a new set of exact solutions to Maxwell's equations in space--time varying materials, where the refractive index is constant, while the impedance exhibits effective motion, i.e. it is a function of $x-vt$. We find that waves…
This paper investigates the inverse scattering problem of time-harmonic plane waves incident on a perfectly reflecting random periodic structure. To simulate random perturbations arising from manufacturing defects and surface wear in…
We study the backward scatterings of plane waves by reciprocal scatterers and reveal that $n$-fold ($n\geq3$) rotation symmetry is sufficient to secure invariant backscattering for arbitrarily-polarized incident plane waves. It is further…
