Which pulse maximizes resonant nonlinear conversion?

Alex Krasnok

At fixed pulse energy, which drive waveform extracts the most th-order nonlinear conversion from a resonator ( for second harmonic)? A short pulse couples poorly to a narro…

Protecting Qubits from Purcell Decay via Permanent Dipoles

Alex Krasnok

Reading out a qubit often requires coupling it to a resonator, but that same resonator can also give the qubit an extra path to decay. Here, we study a way to reduce this loss usin…

From False Roots to Phasors: Negative and Complex Numbers in Mathematics, Physics, and Electrical Engineering

Alex Krasnok

Negative and complex numbers are so familiar in modern mathematics, physics, and engineering that it is easy to forget how uncertain their status once was. They did not become esta…

Trajectory probing of complex-frequency scattering with chirped analytic pulses

Alex Krasnok, Denis Seletskiy

Characterizing resonant scatterers is challenging because their poles and zeros usually lie away from the real-frequency axis, whereas most measurements sample only real frequencie…

Advanced Superdirective Antennas

Alex Krasnok

Superdirective (supergain) antennas aim to produce a narrow main beam from radiators that are electrically small compared with the wavelength. Instead of enlarging the physical ape…

Purcell-Like Environmental Enhancement of Classical Antennas: Self and Transfer Effects

Alex Krasnok

Environmental 'range boosts' in wireless links are often explained through radiation-pattern intuition, yet the underlying physics is more cleanly captured by two environment-contr…

Constant-Amplitude Phase Modulation from Topological Pole--Zero Winding

Alex Krasnok

Resonant phase shifters inevitably mix phase and amplitude. We present a topological synthesis that guarantees a full phase swing at a prescribed constant scattering magnitude…

Twist-Tuned Strong Coupling in Sub-GHz Wire Metasurface Bilayers

Ingrid Torres, Alex Krasnok

Twist-angle control offers a bias-free route to reconfigurable metasurfaces, yet its extension to deeply subwavelength resonant platforms at VHF/UHF remains limited. We demonstrate…

Coherently Assisted Wireless Power Transfer Through Poorly Transparent Barriers

Alex Krasnok

Poorly transparent barriers (e.g., reinforced walls, shielding panels, metallic or high-contrast dielectrics) strongly reflect incident radiation, limiting wireless power transfer…

A Cryogenic Dielectric Antenna for Wireless Sensing and Interfacing Outside the 10 K Environment

Ingrid Torres, Alex Krasnok

The performance and scalability of cryogenic microwave systems, particularly for quantum processors, are fundamentally limited by the thermal stability and loss of their constituen…
