Applied Math Seminar: Multiscale analysis and high-order schemes for nonlinear multilevel Maxwell-Bloch equations given by Prof. Qing Xia (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute)
Applied Math Seminar: Multiscale analysis and high-order schemes for nonlinear multilevel Maxwell-Bloch equations given by Prof. Qing Xia (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute)
In this talk, we will present a recent study of the Maxwell-Bloch equations that model the nonlinear interactions of light and matter, where the light is modeled classically by the Maxwell's equations with dispersions and the medium is modeled quantum-mechanically by the multilevel rate equations. We will show the connection between rate equations and the […]

Title: Sea star locomotion Abstract: The oral surface of sea stars (starfish) is lined with arrays of tube feet that enable them to achieve highly controlled locomotion on various terrains and to even gallop and bounce. The activity of the tube feet is orchestrated by a nerve net that is distributed throughout the body; there […]
