(A) The Scattering Network (inset), efficiently computes multiple scattering in arbitrary structures. (B) Refocusing of coherent waves onto a target deep within a highly scattering opaque material.

To efficiently compute where waves of light, sound, or earthquakes will go when scattered by irregular obstacles is useful in various fields but difficult and expensive to do, even using recent ...

Why is important to study the thermodynamics of D-Wave quantum processors? Michele Campisi: Quantum technology has just entered the “noisy intermediate-scale quantum” (NISQ) era. This is characterized ...

Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave. The way light behaves can seem very counterintuitive, and many physicists would agree with that, but once you ...

[This is a guest post by David L. Morgan, who is an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Eugene Lang College in Manhattan. -- JBJ] One of the first things I teach the students in my physics ...

It's near the start of a new semester of physics. Many faculty are working on their plans for introductory physics courses. How many tests should there be? What about homework? Do I want to cover ...
