Causality creates an asymmetry between space and time, even though the wave equation treats them on equal footing. In this work, we leverage this asymmetry to construct a cross-mapping between space and time. This cross-mapping is applied…

Random packings of objects of a particular shape are ubiquitous in science and engineering. However, such jammed matter states have eluded any systematic theoretical treatment due to the strong positional and orientational correlations…
The probability of a quantum particle being detected in a given solid angle is determined by the $S$-matrix. The explanation of this fact in time dependent scattering theory is often linked to the quantum flux, since the quantum flux…
