The transversal achievement game on a square grid

Kevin Guan

In the transversal achievement game on the board, two players alternately claim cells, and the first to own a transversal---a set of cells of which no two share a r…

Differentiable Fast Far-Field Transform in Cylindrical Coordinates for Large-Area Cascaded Metalens Optics

Arvin Keshvari, Ata Shakeri, William Tuxbury +4

We present a fully differentiable far-field transform in cylindrical coordinates for full-area point spread function (PSF) evaluation and optimization of large axisymmetric metalen…

Synthetic Reflectionless Mode Exceptional Degeneracies via Emergent Local Symmetries

William Tuxbury, Lucas Fernandez-Alcazar, Tsampikos Kottos

We propose a new kind of physically realizable exceptional point degeneracies (EPDs) corresponding to synthetic reflectionless modes (SRM). These are solutions of an auxiliary wave…

Damping Reveals Hidden Dimensions in Elastic Metastructures Through Induced Transparency

Yanghao Fang, William Tuxbury, Abhishek Gupta +2

Damping typically results in attenuation of vibrations and elastic wave propagation in mechanical systems. Contrary to this conventional understanding, we demonstrate experimentall…
