We perceive the world through images formed by scattering. The ability to interpret scattering data mathematically has opened to our scrutiny the constituents of matter, the building blocks of life, and the remotest corners of the universe.…

We propose a sharp-interface model for solid-state dewetting of thin films with wetting potential, where the wetting effect is incorporated through a thickness-dependent surface energy. The model is governed by surface diffusion together…

We report a first-principles study of vacancy-induced self-diffusion in crystalline silicon. Starting form a fully relaxed configuration with a neutral vacancy, we proceed to search for local diffusion paths. The diffusion of the vacancy…

We present a perturbation theory by extending a prescription due to Feynman for computing the probability density function for the random flight motion. The method can be applied to a wide variety of otherwise difficult circumstances. The…

Bands with non-trivial topological indices have a topological obstruction preventing them from being represented by exponentially localized Wannier states. Here, we propose a procedure to construct exponentially localized Wannier functions…

We introduce a formalism to solve the problem of photon scattering from a system of multi-level quantum emitters. Our approach provides a direct solution of the scattering dynamics. As such the formalism gives the scattered fields…

The emergence of superconductivity in slightly-misaligned graphene bilayer [1] and moir\'e excitons in MoSe$_2$-WSe$_2$ van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures [2] is intimately related to the formation of a 2D superlattice in those systems.…

We characterize the optical response of a three-level atom subjected to an incoherent pump and continuously illuminated with a weak, quasi-resonant probe field. To this end, we apply a wavefunction approach based on QED Hamiltonian…

We derive electronic tight-binding Hamiltonians for strained graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides based on Wannier transformation of {\it ab initio} density functional theory calculations. Our microscopic…

Employing tight-binding approximation we derive a transfer matrix formalism for one-dimensional single photon transport through a composite scattering center, which consists of parallel connected resonator optical waveguides. By solving the…

A first-principles approach is introduced to calculate electron field emission characteristics of nanostructures, based on the nonequilibrium Green function technique combined with the density functional theory. The method employs…

We calculate the Wigner (quasi)probability distribution function of the quantum optical elliptical vortex (QEV), generated by coupling squeezed vacuum states of two modes. The coupling between the two modes is performed by using beam…

Volkov states are exact solutions of the Dirac equation in the presence of an arbitrary plane wave. Volkov states, as well as free photon states, are not stable in the presence of the background plane-wave field but "decay" as…

We explore quantitative descriptors that herald when a many-particle system in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ approaches a hyperuniform state as a function of the relevant control parameter. We establish quantitative…

A general approach for the calculation of the incoherent intensity scattered by a random medium with rough boundaries has been developed using a Green function formalism. The random medium consists of spherical particles whose physical…

Bound-state-like wave functions are used to determine the scattering matrix corresponding to low energy $N-d$ and $p-^3$He collisions. To this end, the coupled channel form of the integral relations derived from the Kohn variational…

For the scattering of plane electromagnetic waves by a general possibly anisotropic stationary linear medium in three dimensions, we give a condition on the permittivity and permeability tensors of the medium under which the first Born…

Recent advances in machine learning establish the ability of certain neural-network architectures called neural operators to approximate maps between function spaces. Motivated by a prospect of employing them in fundamental physics, we…

We present a phase space description of the process of quantum teleportation for a system with an $N$ dimensional space of states. For this purpose we define a discrete Wigner function which is a minor variation of previously existing ones.…

For a large class of physically relevant operators on a manifold with discrete group action, we prove general results on the (non-)existence of a basis of smooth well-localised Wannier functions for their spectral subspaces. This turns out…
