Most approaches to dense anomaly detection rely on generative modeling or on discriminative methods that train with negative data. We consider a recent hybrid method that optimizes the same shared representation according to cross-entropy…

Optical metasurfaces have been heralded as the platform to integrate multiple functionalities in a compact form-factor, potentially replacing bulky components. A central stepping stone towards realizing this promise is the demonstration of…

Adaptive optics can be used to mitigate the effects of atmospheric turbulence on imaging systems, but the correction is only partial, and deconvolution is often required to improve the resolution. This results in entire optical/digital…

We discuss the distributed matching scheme in accelerators where control of transverse beam phase space, oscillation, and transport is accomplished by flexible distribution of focusing elements beyond dedicated matching sections. Besides…

In order to ensure the fastest wireless energy transfer from a source to the user one needs to maximize the channel capacity for power transport. In communications technologies, the concept of MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) exploits…
