(A) The Scattering Network (inset), efficiently computes multiple scattering in arbitrary structures. (B) Refocusing of coherent waves onto a target deep within a highly scattering opaque material.

To efficiently compute where waves of light, sound, or earthquakes will go when scattered by irregular obstacles is useful in various fields but difficult and expensive to do, even using recent ...

A ‘quantum processor’ has solved a physics problem on the behaviour of magnetism in certain solids that would take hundreds of thousands of years to calculate on the largest conventional ...
