Observation of the Aharonov-Bohm Effect in Pilot-Wave Hydrodynamics
Georgi Gary Rozenman, Kyle I. McKee, Arnaud Lazarus +2
We report the results of an experimental study of an analog of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect achieved with the hydrodynamic pilot-wave system. A walking droplet is confined to an a…

Harnessing Oscillatory Dynamics for Reprogrammable Mechanical Functionality
Sophie Monnery, Giada Risso, Loucas Plado Costante +2
A long-standing goal in the field of "mechanical computing" is the creation of truly reprogrammable mechanical structures, where the function of each unit can be dynamically define…

A meaningful optimal control problem in quantum and classical physics
Arnaud Lazarus, Emmanuel Trélat
In this paper we study and solve an optimal control problem motivated by applications in quantum and classical physics. Although apparently simple, this optimal control problem is…
