We explore the problem of scattering in a medium modulated by a superluminal rectangular pulse, with the pulse modulation realized through transverse excitations. We solve this problem in the moving frame where the modulation appears purely…

In the nanohertz band, the spatial correlations in pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) produced by interfering gravitational waves (GWs) from multiple sources likely deviate from the traditional ones without interference under the assumption of an…

Traditionally one defines the speed of a wave as a property of the medium. Recent studies in photonics have challenged this idea, indicating that spatial shaping of the optical wavefront has can alter the arrival time of single photons when…

The scattering of wavepackets with arbitrary energy dispersion on surfaces has been analyzed. Expanding up to second order in scattering shifts, it is found that besides the known Goos-H\"anchen or Imbert-Fedorov spatial offset, as well as…

Satellites in electronic spectra are pure many-body effects, and their study has been of increasing interest in both experiment and theory. The presence of satellites due to plasmon excitations can be understood with simple models of…

Wave-packet scattering from a stationary potential is significantly modified when the wave-packet is subject to an external time-dependent force during the interaction. In the semiclassical limit, wave--packet motion is simply described by…

We analyse in detail the reshaping mechanism leading to apparently "superluminal" advancement of a wave packet traversing a classically forbidden region. In the coordinate representation, a barrier is shown to act as an effective…

Photonic systems with time-varying modulations have attracted considerable attention as they allow for the design of non-reciprocal devices without the need for an external magnetic bias. Unlike time-invariant systems, such modulations…

A simple junior-level electrodynamics problem is used to illustrate the interference between a source-free standing plane wave and a wave generated by a pulse in a current sheet. Depending upon the relative phases between the standing wave…

Although diffractive spreading is an unavoidable feature of all wave phenomena, certain waveforms can attain propagation-invariance. A lesser-explored strategy for achieving optical selfsimilar propagation exploits the modification of the…

Motivated by the growing importance of the fidelity and fidelity susceptibility (FS) in quantum critical phenomena, we use these concepts to describe the pulse propagation inside the dispersive media. It is found that there is a dramatic…

In this paper we investigate both theoretically and numerically the forward in time (FIT) and backward in time (BIT) dispersion of fluid and inertial particle pairs in isotropic turbulence. Fluid particles are known to separate faster BIT…

Compton scattering of twisted photons is investigated within a non-relativistic framework using first-order perturbation theory. We formulate the problem in the density matrix theory, which enables one to gain new insights into scattering…

A theory of matter wave interference is developed in which resonant optical fields interact with two-level atoms. When recoil effects are included, spatial modulation of the atomic density can occur for times that are greater than or…

Fluid filled pipes are ubiquitous in both man-made constructions and living organisms. In the latter, biological pipes, such as arteries, have unique properties as their walls are made of soft, incompressible, highly deformable materials.…

We introduce a new class of optical beams, which feature a spatial profile akin to an ``inverted pin''. In particular, we asymptotically find that close to the axis the transverse amplitude profile of such beams takes the form of a Bessel…

In any form of wave propagation, strong spatiotemporal coupling appears when non-elementary, three-dimensional wave-packets are composed by superimposing pure plane waves, or spontaneously generated by light-matter interaction and nonlinear…

Space-time wave packets (STWPs) are a new class of pulsed optical beams with many unique and intriguing attributes, including propagation invariance and tunable group velocity in linear optical media. STWPs are a form of spatiotemporally…

We study the effects of dispersion in carrier waves on the properties of soliton self--induced transparency (SIT) in two level media. We found substantial impact of dispersion effects on typical SIT soliton features. For example, the degree…

A general analysis of undistorted propagation of localized wavepackets in photonic crystals based on a Wannier-function expansion technique is presented. Different kinds of propagating and stationary spatio-temporal localized waves are…
