Far from being a solely quantum mechanical phenomenon, interference occurs with all kinds of waves, including water waves and sound waves. Interference is the process in which two or more waves of the ...

The Gouy phase is essential for accurately describing various wave phenomena, ranging from classical electromagnetic waves to matter waves and quantum optics. In this work, we employ phase-space ...

Spin waves with wavelengths in the nanometre range could serve as data carriers in future magnonic logic or signal processing devices. We investigate the interference of spin waves emitted from ...

Gravitational waves are distortions or “ripples” in the curvature of space-time. Think of the waves on the surface of a pond created by throwing a rock into it. Far away from their source, the math ...
