Optimal measurement scheme with an efficient data processing is important in quantum-enhanced interferometry. Here we prove that for a general binary outcome measurement, the simplest data processing based on inverting the average signal…
The present paper proposes a new condition to replace both the ($O$-regularly varying) quasimonotone condition and a certain type of bounded variation condition, and shows the same conclusion for the uniform convergence of certain…
The anti-proximity effect, where the superconductivity in superconducting nanowires is suppressed or weakened when contacted by bulk superconducting electrodes, first revealed in arrays of Zn nanowires by tuning the electrodes from the…
This paper shows that finitely additive measures occur naturally in very general Divergence Theorems. The main results are two such theorems. The first proves the existence of pure normal measures for sets of finite perime- ter, which yield…
Understanding vanishing transmission in Fano resonances in quantum systems and metamaterials, and ultralow transmission in disordered media is key to elucidating optical interactions. Using analytic theory and numerical simulations, we…
We continue the investigation started in [Sh:1215] about the relation between the Keilser-Shelah isomorphism theorem and the continuum hypothesis. In particular, we show it is consistent that the continuum hypothesis fails and for any given…
The Mach-Zehnder interferometric setup quantitatively characterizing the wave-particle duality implements in fact a joint measurement of two unsharp observables. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for such a pair of unsharp…
We exploit here the dramatic field enhancement caused by energy squeezing and tunneling (i.e., 'supercoupling') in metamaterial-inspired ultranarrow waveguide channels with near zero effective permittivity in order to sense small…
Resolving the separation between two incoherent optical sources with high precision is of great significance for fluorescence imaging and astronomical observations. In this paper, we focus on a more general scenario where two sources have…
We discuss and compare upper and lower bounds obtained by two different methods for the positive zero of the ultraspherical polynomial $C_{n}^{(\lambda)}$ that is greater than $1$ when $-3/2 < \lambda < -1/2.$ Our first approach uses mixed…
We propose a new mixing pattern for neutrinos with a nonzero mixing angle $\theta_{13}$. Under a simple form, it agrees well with current neutrino oscillation data and displays a number of intriguing features including the $\mu$-$\tau$…
It is often said that measuring a system's position must disturb the complementary property, momentum, by some minimum amount due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Using a "weak-measurement", this disturbance can be reduced. One…
The assumption that a small point-like configuration does not interact with nucleons leads to a new set of sum rules that are interpreted as models of the baryon-nucleon interaction. These models are rendered semi-realistic by requiring…
Let $M$ be an open Riemann surface and let $\Lambda\subset M$ be a closed discrete subset. In this paper, we prove the existence of complete conformal minimal immersions $M\to\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 3$, with prescribed values on $\Lambda$ and…
We prove the following proposition. Under linear interpolation on a Euclidean $n$-dimensional ball $B$, an interpolation projector whose nodes coincide with the vertices of a regular simplex inscribed into the boundary sphere has the…
We provide an analysis of complementarity via a suitably designed classicalmodel that leads to a set of inequalities that can be tested by means ofunsharp measurements. We show that, if the measured statistics does notfulfill the…
This paper proves the approximate intermediate value theorem, constructively and from notably weak hypotheses: from pointwise rather than uniform continuity, without assuming that reals are presented with rational approximants, and without…
The existence of inequivalent irreducible unitary representations of the CCR suggests that two identical charged bosons may, under suitable conditions, be unable to interact with each other even though their wave functions overlap…
A single static magnetic impurity in a fully-gapped superconductor leads to formation of an intragap quasiparticle bound state. At temperatures much below the superconducting transition, the energy relaxation and spin dephasing of the state…
This paper expands on the previously described reflectionless filters - that is, filters having, in principle, identically-zero reflection coefficient at all frequencies - by introducing a wide variety of new reflectionless structures that…
