A photon density wavefunction
Maxwell's equations in the vacuum can be formally cast in the form of Schrödinger's equation. Unfortunately, the vector to which this equation directly applies is not a wavefunction: its amplitude squared is not a probability density but the expected energy density of the field. Since we can count photons, there must be a more convincing wavefunction, derived from the EM field, whose amplitude squared is an expected photon density. Mandel proposed the second quantized version of such a wavefun…

Thresholds for sensitive optimality and Blackwell optimality in stochastic games
We investigate refinements of the mean-payoff criterion in two-player zero-sum perfect-information stochastic games. A strategy is Blackwell optimal if it is optimal in the discounted game for all discount factors sufficiently close to $1$. The notion of $d$-sensitive optimality interpolates between mean-payoff optimality (corresponding to the case $d=-1$) and Blackwell optimality ($d=+\infty$). The Blackwell threshold $α_{\sf Bw} \in [0,1[$ is the discount factor above which all optimal strat…

Growth rate and energy dissipation in wind-forced breaking waves
We investigate the energy growth and dissipation of wind-forced breaking waves using direct numerical simulations of the coupled air-water Navier-Stokes equations. We vary the wind friction velocity over the wave speed $u_\ast/c$ up to 1. A turbulent wind boundary layer drives the growth of a pre-existing narrowband wave field until it breaks and transfers energy into the water column. Under sustained wind forcing, the wave field then resumes growth. We separately analyze energy transfers durin…

Resonance fluorescence and indistinguishable photons from a coherently driven B centre in hBN
Optically active defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have become amongst the most attractive single-photon emitters in the solid state, owing to their high-quality photophysical properties, combined with the unlimited possibilities of integration offered by the host two-dimensional material. In particular, the B centres, with their narrow linewidth, low wavelength spread and controllable positioning, have raised a particular interest for integrated quantum photonics.

Towards Zero-Shot Coordination between Teams of Agents: The N-XPlay Framework
Zero-shot coordination (ZSC) -- the ability to collaborate with unfamiliar partners -- is essential to making autonomous agents effective teammates. Existing ZSC methods evaluate coordination capabilities between two agents who have not previously interacted. However, these scenarios do not reflect the complexity of real-world multi-agent systems, where coordination often involves a hierarchy of sub-groups and interactions between teams of agents, known as Multi-Team Systems (MTS).

Letting $\{U_{n,1}, U_{n,2}, \ldots, U_{n,k}\}$ denote the time-stamps sampled, the step taken by the walker during the $(n+1)$-st time-stamp, denoted $X_{n+1}$, is a $\pm 1$-valued random v…

Manipulation surfaces indirectly control and reposition objects by actively modifying their shape or properties rather than directly gripping objects.

However, a high-density actuator array introduces considerable complexity due to increased degrees of freedom (DOF), complicating control tasks. High DOF restrict the implementation and utilization of manipulation surfaces in real-world applications as the mainten…

In both cases, we identify the extreme values of velocity at small scales as localized unpredictable events that lead to a loss of predictability: worse predicti…
