Synchronization induces Bell violations in a model of walking droplets
Álvaro G. López, Rahil N. Valani, Yuanmei Li +1
We consider a reduced Lorenz-like model that describes two walking droplets interacting through their mutual wave field, and investigate the emergence of strong bipartite correlati…
Engineering classical waves with quantized energy spectra in periodic media
Arnaud Lazarus, Georgi Gary Rozenman, John W. M. Bush
Field quantization is a central feature of modern physics, that underpins the concept of photons and forms the foundation of quantum electrodynamics as well as much of solid-state…
Capillary currents and viscous droplet spreading
David Darrow, Lucas Warwaruk, John W. M. Bush
We present the results of a combined experimental and theoretical study of the spreading of viscous droplets over rigid substrates. First, we experimentally investigate the wetting…
Single-particle Fraunhofer diffraction in a classical pilot-wave model
David Darrow, John W. M. Bush
Walking oil droplets offer a qualitative, classical analog of single-particle diffraction. Making this analog quantitative has proven challenging, leading recent authors to conject…
Non-resonant effects in pilot-wave hydrodynamics
Bauyrzhan K. Primkulov, Davis J. Evans, Joel B. Been +1
Pilot-wave hydrodynamics concerns the dynamics of 'walkers,' droplets walking on a vibrating bath, and has provided the basis for the burgeoning field of hydrodynamic quantum analo…
Diffraction of walking drops by a standing Faraday wave
Bauyrzhan K. Primkulov, Davis J. Evans, Valeri Frumkin +2
The Kapitza-Dirac effect is the diffraction of quantum particles by a standing wave of light. We here report an analogous phenomenon in pilot-wave hydrodynamics, wherein droplets w…
