Simple quantum model for light depolarization
Polarization of light is a fascinating concept that has deserved a lot of attention over the years. Today, the field is witnessing a renewed interest because of the fast developments in optics, both on the applications and on the more fundamental aspects. Moreover, the polarization of a field is a robust characteristic, which is relatively simple to manipulate without inducing more than margina...
متن کاملA depolarization criterion in Mueller matrices
A necessary and sufficient scalar condition for a Mueller matrix M to describe a non-depolarizing optical system is obtained. By computing only one scalar parameter, it can be determined whether a given Mueller matrix M describes a non-depolarizing, or a depolarizing optical system. The following theorem is stated: a necessary and sufficient condition for a given Mueller matrix M to describe a ...
متن کاملA Simple Criterion for Nonrotating Reference Frames
Walker [1] defined the reference frame of a nonrotating observer as a frame in which the acceleration of a free test particle in the neighborhood of the observer is independent of its velocity. This definition is consistent with the corresponding definition in Newtonian mechanics, and is useful in general relativity. Nonrotating frames are essential tools in descriptions of relativistic precess...
متن کاملA simple criterion for controlling selection bias
Controlling selection bias, a statistical error caused by preferential sampling of data, is a fundamental problem in machine learning and statistical inference. This paper presents a simple criterion for controlling selection bias in the odds ratio, a widely used measure for association between variables, that connects the nature of selection bias with the graph modeling the selection mechanism...
متن کاملA simple criterion for structurally fixed modes
A property of linear systems is called structural if it can be deduced solely from the presence of zeroes at certain entries of the matrices of the system. aIn physical terms, the presence of zeroes in the matrices of the system indicates the absence of specified interconnections, and is therefore indicative of the structure of the system. Structural controllability has been studied for both si...
