The use of conventional two or three-dimensional visualizations of quantitative information have an inherent limitation of only being able to present the interactions of 2 to 4 variables. In exploration of a new visual metaphor, we have drawn on the natural phenomena of wave motion. Specifically, the interference of waves was used as the underlying metaphor. In visualizing a set of data points,...

Top quark polarization in e + e − annihilation into t ¯ t is calculated for linearly polarized beams. The Green function formalism is applied to this reaction near threshold. The Lippmann–Schwinger equations for the S-wave and P-wave Green functions are solved numerically for the QCD chromostatic potential given by the two-loop formula for large momentum transfer and Richardson's ansatz for int...

We describe an experiment in that generates single photons on demand and measures properties accounted to both particle and wave-like features of light. The measurement is performed by exploiting data that are sampled simultaneously in a single experimental run. INTRODUCTION The wave-particle duality of matter lies at the heart of quantum mechanics. With respect to light, the wave-like behavior...

RF interference is a threat to systems that rely on GNSS signals. The carrier-to-noise-ratio (C/No) can be used for detecting interference but is a noisy measurement. The presented detection technique uses the fact that GPS satellites appear in the same place in the sky each sidereal day with similar C/No values except in the presence of interference. Analysis of these differences in C/No value...

Feynman described the double slit experiment as "a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics". The double-slit experiment, performed one photon at a time, dramatically demonstrates the particle-wave duality of quantum objects by generating a fringe pattern corresponding to the interference of light (...

Implementing on-chip information processing systems through photonic–phononic interactions has attracted considerable interest owing to its potential for storing, sensing, and signal processing, but the generation extinction of acoustic waves are determined by existence pump power phonon lifetime. Here, we demonstrate acoustic-wave interference active manipulation optically driven in a silicon ...
