Physical policy gradient theorem for in situ stochastic-adjoint training

William Tuxbury, Zin Lin

In situ adjoint training extracts parameter gradients directly from measurement, but has so far been limited to reciprocal or restricted systems. Here, we introduce the physical co…

In-situ Adjoint Wave Control in Reconfigurable Non-Hermitian Nonlinear Systems

John Guillamon, William Tuxbury, Cheng-Zhen Wang +3

Complex multipath environments are usually avoided in wave-based information processing because repeated scattering creates many interfering propagation paths, obscuring controllab…

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…

Adaptive Sensing beyond Non-Adaptive Information Limits: End-to-End Co-Design of Geometry, Policy, and Inference

Arvin Keshvari, William Tuxbury, Zin Lin

Inverse design has transformed vast physical parameter spaces into a substrate for emergent functionality, raising the tantalizing prospect of relocating intelligence from the digi…

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…

Unidirectional Amplification in the Frozen Mode Regime Enabled by a Nonlinear Defect

Serena Landers, William Tuxbury, Ilya Vitebskiy +1

A stationary inflection point (SIP) is a spectral singularity of the Bloch dispersion relation of a periodic structure where the first and the second derivatives of with…

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…

Nonlinearity-induced Scattering Zero Degeneracies for Spectral Management of Coherent Perfect Absorption in Complex Systems

Cheng-Zhen Wang, John Guillamon, William Tuxbury +2

We develop a Coherent Perfect Absorption (CPA) protocol for cases where scale invariance is violated due to the presence of nonlinear mechanisms. We demonstrate, using a microwave…

Nonlinear Wavepacket Dynamics in Proximity to a Stationary Inflection Point

Serena Landers, Arkady Kurnosov, William Tuxbury +2

A stationary inflection point (SIP) in the Bloch dispersion relation of a periodic waveguide is an exceptional point degeneracy where three Bloch eigenmodes coalesce forming the so…
