Artificial neural networks have realized incredible successes at image recognition, but the underlying mechanism of visual space representation remains a huge mystery. Grid cells (2014 Nobel Prize) in the entorhinal cortex support a…
We show that standard multi-path interferometry, using only pairwise visibility measurements, provides an operational route to tests of preparation noncontextuality. Under ideal symmetric conditions, interference visibility directly encodes…
Free-space optical systems are emerging for high data rate communication and transfer of information in indoor and outdoor settings. However, free-space optical communication becomes challenging when an occlusion blocks the light path.…
A foundational assumption in CNN interpretability -- that deep encoders suppress background pixels while classifiers merely select from a cleaned feature pool (the Spatial Funnel Hypothesis) -- remains untested due to spatial hallucinations…
Neural implicit representations have recently shown encouraging results in various domains, including promising progress in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Nevertheless, existing methods produce over-smoothed scene…
Interference of scattered waves is fundamental for modern light-scattering techniques, such as optical wavefront shaping. Recently, a new type of wavefront shaping was introduced where the extinction is manipulated instead of the scattered…
