... to monochromatic waves in free space. For scalar waves, a natural definition of the direction of the current in free space is the intensity-weighted wavevector (local expectation value of the linear momentum) normal to the wavefronts (section 2.1). The current gives the timeaveraged force on a small ...

The dynamics by which the state evolves over time is completely deterministic, so there are no objective chances in Everett’s theory. Furthermore, in principle the observer could know enough to predict the salient features of her future ...

Adaptive beam combining and interferometry with photorefractive quantum wells *
... InP6 have led to performance near the ideal interferometric shot-noise limit. Photorefractive semiconductors have the advantage of large compensation bandwidths because of their fast grating refresh rates. Photorefractive quantum wells7 have the highest sensitivity of any photorefractive materials, ...
