Phase-retrieval from coded diffraction patterns (CDP) is important to X-ray crystallography, diffraction tomography and astronomical imaging, yet remains a hard, non-convex inverse problem. We show that CDP recovery can be reformulated…
We propose a general method for optimizing periodic input waveforms for global entrainment of weakly forced limit-cycle oscillators based on phase reduction and nonlinear programming. We derive averaged phase dynamics from the mathematical…
We present a model-based approach for the closed-loop control of vortex shedding in the cylinder wake. The control objective is to suppress the unsteadiness of the flow, which arises at a critical Reynolds number $Re_c$ through a…
In this paper, we derive a perturbatively-corrected instanton rate theory in the ring-polymer framework (RPI+PC), which significantly enhances the accuracy of instanton theory by using third and fourth derivatives of the potential to…
We propose a new mechanism for stabilization of confined modes in lasers and semiconductor microcavities holding exciton-polariton condensates, with spatially uniform linear gain, cubic loss, and cubic self-focusing or defocusing…
Resonant phase shifters inevitably mix phase and amplitude. We present a topological synthesis that guarantees a full $2\pi$ phase swing at a prescribed constant scattering magnitude $|S_{ij}|=C$ by winding a scattering zero around the…
We demonstrate the existence of confined states in one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) systems of two linearly-coupled components, with the confining harmonic-oscillator (HO) potential acting upon one component, and an expulsive anti-HO…
Optimal pulse patterns (OPPs) are a modulation method in which the switching angles and levels of a switching signal are computed via an offline optimization procedure to minimize a performance metric, typically the harmonic distortions of…
Extreme events play a crucial role in fluid turbulence. Inspired by methods from field theory, these extreme events, their evolution and probability can be computed with help of the instanton formalism as minimizers of a suitable action…
We show how to do semiclassical nonperturbative computations within the worldline approach to quantum field theory using ``worldline instantons''. These worldline instantons are classical solutions to the Euclidean worldline loop equations…
Controlling topological phases is a central goal in quantum materials and related fields, enabling applications such as robust transport and programmable edge states. Here we uncover a mechanism in which local on-site impurities act as…
We consider a one-dimensional totally asymmetric exclusion process on a ring with extended inhomogeneities, consisting of several segments with different hopping rates. Depending upon the underlying inhomogeneity configurations and for…
A lattice of three-state stochastic phase-coupled oscillators introduced by Wood it et al. exhibits a phase transition at a critical value of the coupling parameter $a$, leading to stable global oscillations (GO). On a complete graph, upon…
We develop theoretically and demonstrate experimentally a universal dynamical decoupling method for robust quantum sensing with unambiguous signal identification. Our method uses randomisation of control pulses to suppress simultaneously…
Periodic driving enables realization of topological phases without static counterparts. We experimentally realize and detect a one-dimensional anomalous Floquet topological phase in an optical lattice, using multi-frequency control to…
Phase unwrapping is the process of recovering a continuous phase signal from an original signal wrapped in the ($-\pi$,$\pi$] interval. It is a critical step of coherent signal processing, with applications such as synthetic aperture radar,…
Optimal pulse patterns (OPPs) are a modulation technique in which a switching signal is computed offline through an optimization process that accounts for selected performance criteria, such as current harmonic distortion. The optimization…
X-ray interferometry is an emerging imaging modality with a wide variety of potential clinical applications, including lung and breast imaging, as well as in non-destructive testing, such as additive manufacturing and porosimetry. A grating…
While the $\theta$ dependence of field theories is $2\pi$ periodic, the ground-state wavefunctions at $\theta$ and $\theta+2\pi$ often belong to different classes of symmetry-protected topological states. When this is the case, a continuous…
Most common types of symmetry breaking in quasi-one-dimensional electronic systems possess a combined manifold of states degenerate with respect to both the phase $\theta$ and the amplitude $A$ sign of the order parameter $A\exp(i\theta)$.…
