Quantum carpets, carpets of light
In 1836 Henry Fox Talbot, an inventor of photography, published the results of some experiments in optics that he had previously demonstrated at a British Association meeting in Bristol. "It was very curious to observe that though the grating was greatly out of the focus of the lens...the appearance of the bands was perfectly distinct and well defined...the experiments are communicated in the h...
متن کاملWatching a Travelling Wave Watching a Travelling Wave
Travelling waves are a feature of many spatio-temporal series. The use of single side band filtering and the complex singular value decomposition to isolate such waves is described. As with other applications of the singular value decomposition, such as principal components, the results can be difficult to interpret. In the case of travelling waves, however, a dynamic graphical display using co...
متن کاملQuantum carpets of a slightly relativistic particle
We analyze the structures emerging in the spacetime representation of the probability density woven by a slightly relativistic particle caught in a one-dimensional box. In particular, we evaluate the relativistic effects on the revival time and the specific changes produced in the intermode traces, which quantum carpets consist of. Moreover, we present a detailed mathematical analysis of such q...
متن کاملTravelling Wave Linear Accelerators
Communicated b y y. D. Cockcroft; MS. ABSTRACT. Acceleration of electrons by means of an electroma,onetiic wave travelling down a circular corrugated tube is considered. The relevint properties of corrugated tubes are derived and the factors influencing electron enxgies. Some numerical results are also quoted for a wavelength of 10 cm. The problems of high energy accelerators arc &scussed brief...
متن کاملA Review of Travelling Wave Solutions
In this paper we review the existence of diierent types of travelling wave solutions u(x; t) = (x ? ct) of degenerate non-linear reaction-diiusion equations of the form u t = D(u)u x ] x + g(u) for diierent density-dependent diiusion coeecients D and kinetic part g. These include the non-linear degenerate generalized Fisher-KPP and the Nagumo equations. Also, we consider an equation whose diius...
