We show that quantum-to-classical channels, i.e., quantum measurements, can be asymptotically simulated by an amount of classical communication equal to the quantum mutual information of the measurement, if sufficient shared randomness is…

We demonstrate that the Wigner function of a pure quantum state is a wave function in a specially tuned Dirac bra-ket formalism and argue that the Wigner function is in fact a probability amplitude for the quantum particle to be at a…

The one dimensional wave equation serves as a basic model for imaging modalities such as seismic which utilize acoustic data reflected back from a layered medium. In 1955 Peterson et al. described a single scattering approximation for the…

In even spatial dimensions, solutions of the wave equation violate Huygens' principle, producing a persistent wake tail inside the light cone rather than a sharply localized propagating front. This intrinsic tail complicates refocusing.…

Speech time reversal refers to the process of reversing the entire speech signal in time, causing it to play backward. Such signals are completely unintelligible since the fundamental structures of phonemes and syllables are destroyed.…

We consider the transmission of classical information through a degraded broadcast channel, whose outputs are two quantum systems, with the state of one being a degraded version of the other. Yard et al. proved that the capacity region of…

The delay experienced by a probe due to interactions with a scattering media is highly related to the internal dynamics inside that media. This property is well captured by the Wigner delay time and the resonance widths. By the use of the…
