Temporal Branched Flow of Light
Weifeng Ding, Chaokai Yang, Zhaoying Wang +1
Branched flow of light arises when spatially correlated disorder folds families of rays into caustics. Here, we demonstrate a temporal analog in the retarded-time coordinate of an…
Why are thermal images blurry
Fanglin Bao, Shubhankar Jape, Andrew Schramka +3
The resolution of optical imaging is limited by diffraction as well as detector noise. However, thermal imaging exhibits an additional unique phenomenon of ghosting which results i…
Spinning Metasurface Stack for Spectro-polarimetric Thermal Imaging
Xueji Wang, Ziyi Yang, Fanglin Bao +2
Spectro-polarimetric imaging in the long-wave infrared (LWIR) region plays a crucial role in applications from night vision and machine perception to trace gas sensing and thermogr…
Nonequilibrium Hanbury-Brown-Twiss experiment: Theory and application to binary stars
Adrian E. Rubio Lopez, Ashwin K. Boddeti, Fanglin Bao +2
Intensity-interferometry based on Hanbury-Brown and Twiss's seminal experiment for determining the radius of the star Sirius formed the basis for developing the quantum theory of l…
Quantum-accelerated imaging of N stars
Fanglin Bao, Hyunsoo Choi, Vaneet Aggarwal +1
Imaging point sources with low angular separation near or below the Rayleigh criterion is important in astronomy, e.g., in the search for habitable exoplanets near stars. However,…
Quantum Entropic Causal Inference
Mohammad Ali Javidian, Vaneet Aggarwal, Fanglin Bao +1
The class of problems in causal inference which seeks to isolate causal correlations solely from observational data even without interventions has come to the forefront of machine…
Corrected Proximity-Force Approximation for Lateral Casimir Forces
F. Bao, K. Shi
The widely-adopted proximity-force approximation (PFA) to estimate normal Casimir forces is known to be asymptotically exact at vanishing separations. In this letter, we propose a…
Inhomogeneity-Induced Casimir Transport of Nanoparticles
F. Bao, K. Shi, G. Cao +2
This letter proposes a scheme for transporting nanoparticles immersed in a fluid, relying on quantum vacuum fluctuations. The mechanism lies in the inhomogeneity-induced lateral Ca…
Quantum propulsion and trapping of nano-objects by inhomogeneity-induced lateral Casimir forces
F. Bao, K. Shi, S. He
Lateral Casimir force near a laterally-inhomogeneous plate is first revealed by both rigorous simulations and proximity approximations. The inhomogeneity-induced lateral Casimir fo…
Inhomogeneity-related cutoff dependence of the Casimir energy and stress
F. Bao, J. S. Evans, M. Fang +1
The cutoff dependence of the Casimir energy and stress is studied using the Green's function method for a system that is piecewise-smoothly inhomogeneous along one dimension. The a…
First-order correction to the Casimir force within an inhomogeneous medium
Fanglin Bao, Bin Luo, Sailing He
For the Casimir piston filled with an inhomogeneous medium, the Casimir energy is regularized and expressed with cylinder kernel coefficients by using the first-order perturbation…
Comment on "Cutoff dependence of the Casimir force within an inhomogeneous medium"
Fanglin Bao, Bin Luo
Horsley and Simpson [Phys. Rev. A 88, 013833 (2013)] recently claimed that the inhomogeneous Casimir pressure in a piston model is cutoff dependent, and diverges when the cutoff pa…
