Models for a Multimode Bosonic Tunneling Junction

Models for a Multimode Bosonic Tunneling Junction

Decoherence plays an important role in quantum mechanics. In general, uncontrolled interaction of a quantum system with its environment will cause it to lose its quantum properties. Controlled decoherence or dissipation, on the other hand, can be used to engineer...

Kirigami/Origami-Based Reflectors for Beam Steering

Redirecting incident light towards a specific direction is a basic feat of engineering useful for large applications, such as redirecting sunlight onto solar panels or to provide greater illumination in a household, and for smaller applications, such as in optical...
