Lossless linear wave propagation is symmetric in time, a principle which can be used to create time reversed waves. Such waves are special 'pre-scattered' spatiotemporal fields, which propagate through a complex medium as if observing a…
Time reversal of acoustic waves can be achieved efficiently by the persistent control of excitations in a finite region of the system. The procedure, called Time Reversal Mirror, is stable against the inhomogeneities of the medium and it…

PT-symmetric scattering systems with balanced gain and loss can undergo a symmetry-breaking transition in which the eigenvalues of the non-unitary scattering matrix change their phase shifts from real to complex values. We relate the…
By employing T-matrix approach, we investigate a nonmagnetic impurity located on the surface of three-dimensional topological insulators, where the time reversal symmetry is preserved. It is shown that the images of the local density of…
Time reversal methods are widely used to achieve wave focusing in acoustics and electromagnetics. A typical time reversal experiment requires that a transmitter be initially present at the target focusing point, which limits the application…
We study two coupled active rotators with Kuramoto-type coupling and focus our attention to specific transitional regimes where the coupling is neither attractive nor repulsive. We show that certain such situations at the edge of…
