Title: Complex Frequency Excitations in Classical and Quantum Photonics Abstract: Complex frequency (CF) signals introduce a new paradigm in wave physics, offering a powerful approach to uncovering hidden poles and resonances in both classical and quantum photonic systems. These signals reveal phenomena invisible to conventional methods, paving the way for breakthroughs in light scattering, quantum circuits and optical communication. In this …
Events at UCFTitle: Shaping Tomorrow's World: The Fusion of X-Realities and Emerging Optical Technologies Abstract: In the 1960s, Ivan Sutherland's "Sword of Damocles" inspired generations to forge the future of X-Realities (XR), encompassing a diverse array of technologies and applications. In this talk, we will review historical milestones and peak at some particularly enticing emerging applications of XR. We will then delve into …
