We introduce a model detector which registers the passage of a particle through the detector location, without substantially perturbing the particle wave function. (The exact time of passage is not determined in such measurements.) We then…
Pulse shaping is important for communications, spectroscopy, and other applications that require high peak power and pulsed operation, such as radar systems. Unfortunately, pulse shaping remains largely elusive for terahertz (THz)…
We predict an anomalous bias dependence of the spin transfer torque parallel to interface, $T_{||}$, in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ), which can be selectively tuned by the exchange splitting. It may exhibit a sign reversal {\it without}…
A magnetic system with a phase transition at temperature $T_c$ may exhibit double resonance peaks under a periodic external magnetic field because the time scale matches the external frequency at two different temperatures, one above $T_c$…
We examine how the interference of a coherent light-pulse with its slightly time-delayed copy may generate a pulse nearly identical to the original one and ahead of it. The simplicity of this 2-pulse system enabled us to obtain exact…
In this letter, we propose a magnet-less non-reciprocal isolating system based on time-varying metasurfaces. Two parallel time-varying metasurfaces, one for frequency up-conversion and one for down-conversion by the same amount, are used…
