Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...

The study of electromagnetic diffraction and scattering in metamaterials encompasses how artificially structured materials manipulate wave propagation at scales comparable to or smaller than the ...

Diffraction theory describes how wave fields—acoustic, electromagnetic or quantum—interact with obstacles and apertures, producing characteristic patterns of scattering and interference. At its heart ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

Optical superoscillation refers to a wave packet that can oscillate locally in a frequency exceeding its highest Fourier component. This intriguing phenomenon enables production of extremely localized ...
