Inverse Scattering for Single Photons in Quantum Optics

Giovanni Covi, Matti Lassas, Medet Nursultanov +3

We study inverse problems for a time-harmonic one-photon model describing the interaction of a single photon with a medium of stationary two-level atoms. After time-harmonic reduct…

Introduction to inverse problems for hyperbolic PDEs

Medet Nursultanov, Lauri Oksanen

There are two main approaches to solve inverse coefficient determination problems for wave equations: the Boundary Control method and an approach based on geometric optics. These n…
