Fluctuations in the 21cm brightness from cosmic hydrogen at redshifts z > 6 were sourced by the primordial density perturbations from inflation as well as by the radiation from galaxies. We propose a method to separate these components…

The evolution of light theories began with Isaac Newton's corpuscular model, which explained reflection and refraction but could not account for diffraction and interference. In contrast, Christiaan Huygens proposed a wave theory,…

It is a fundamental fact of waves that they spread as they evolve freely, regardless of their nature. Previous research to overcome diffraction spreading has led to idealized waves that, in real settings, exhibit quasi-non-diffraction and…

Classical nonlinear random waves can exhibit a process of condensation. It originates in the singularity of the Rayleigh-Jeans equilibrium distribution and it is characterized by the macroscopic population of the fundamental mode of the…

The fermion sector of the pseudo-quantum electrodynamics is integrated functionally to generate a non-linear electrodynamics, that it is called Euler-Heisenberg pseudo-electrodynamics. A non-local Chern-Simons topological term is added to…

Wave or fuzzy dark matter produced with high momenta behaves in many ways like hot particle dark matter while also possessing seemingly different phenomenology due to wave interference. We develop wave perturbation theory to show that white…

We respond to a paper of Flambaum, et.al. [Phys. Rev. D95, no. 5, 058701 (2017)], claiming there is no effective induced oscillating electric dipole moment, e.g., for the electron, arising from interaction with an oscillating cosmic axion…

Wave-particle duality is an inherent peculiarity of the quantum world. The double-slit experiment has been frequently used for understanding different aspects of this fundamental concept. The occurrence of interference rests on the lack of…

Superradiance is a phenomenon of multiple facets that occurs in classical and quantum physics under extreme conditions. Here we present its manifestation in spin waves under an easily realized condition. We show that an interface between a…

Interference is the mechanism through which waves can be structured into the most fascinating patterns. While for sensing, imaging, trapping, or in fundamental investigations, structured waves play nowadays an important role and are…

Subwavelength aperture arrays in thin metal films can enable enhanced transmission of light and matter (atom) waves. The phenomenon relies on resonant excitation and interference of the plasmon or matter waves on the metal surface. We show…
