The theory of adiabatic optical fiber tapers is revised with the Landau-Dykhne formula, which provides simple and physically clear expressions for the intermode transmission amplitudes and is used to ...

Beginning in the 1960s, satellite instruments have measured Earth's reflected broadband shortwave radiation and emitted ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...
