One of the outstanding questions regarding the observed relationship between October Eurasian snow cover anomalies and the boreal winter northern annular mode (NAM) is what causes the multiple-week lag between positive Eurasian snow cover anomalies in October and the associated peak in Rossby wave activity flux from the troposphere to the stratosphere in December. This study explores the follow...

Interference of more and massive objects provides a spectacular confirmation quantum theory. It is usually regarded as support for "wave-particle duality" in an extension this duality even "complementarity". We first give outline the historical development these notions. Already here it becomes evident that they are hard to define rigorously, i.e. have mainly heuristic function. Then we discuss...

there are several techniques in use for non-linear refractive index measurement, namely, interferometric techniques, in which conventional inter-ferometers are used, degenerate for wave mixing (dfwm), and z-scan, each of these techniques suffers from some shortcmings. for example conventional interferometers like fabry-perot and twyman-green need high quality optical components, unwanted reflec...

We consider a wave packet of a charged particle passing through a cavity filled with photons at temperature T and investigate its localization and interference properties. It is shown that the wave packet becomes localized and the interference disappears with an exponential speed after a sufficiently long path through the cavity. PACS numbers:03.65.-w,03.65.Bz,12.20.Ds
