In a physical system, changing parameters such as temperature can induce a phase transition: an abrupt change from one state of matter to another. Analogous phenomena have recently been observed in large language models. Typically, the task…
Accurate phase measurement is highly desirable in optical manipulation driven by structured light, since the phase profiles have a close connection with optical force distribution, strongly affecting the capability of optical traps. Here,…
Recent DFT (density functional theory) simulations showed that metals have a hitherto overlooked symmetry termed "hidden scale invariance" [Hummel {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. B {\bf{92}}, 174116 (2015)]. According to isomorph theory, this…
Detection of phase variations across optically transparent samples is often a difficult task. We propose and demonstrate a compact, lightweight and low cost quantitative phase contrast imager. Light diffracted from a pinhole is incident on…

It was recently shown that the phase retrieval imaging of a sample can be modeled as a simple convolution process. Sometimes, such a convolution depends on physical parameters of the sample which are difficult to estimate a priori. In this…
Kinematic diffraction is well suited for a mathematical approach via measures, which has substantially been developed since the discovery of quasicrystals. The need for further insight emerged from the question of which distributions of…
