We demonstrate the generation of two-photon correlation trains based on spectral filtering of broadband biphotons. Programmable amplitude filtering is employed to create biphoton frequency combs, which when coupled with optical dispersion allows us to experimentally verify the temporal Talbot effect for entangled photons. Additionally, an alternative spectral phase-filtering approach is shown t...

The dynamic evolution of linearly dispersive waves on periodic domains with discontinuous initial profiles is shown to depend dramatically upon the asymptotics of the dispersion relation at large wave number. Asymptotically linear or sublinear dispersion relations produce slowly changing waves, while those with polynomial growth exhibit dispersive quantization, a.k.a. the Talbot effect, being (...

We report on the theoretical investigation of Wigner distribution function (WDF) reconstruction of the motional quantum state of large molecules in de Broglie interference. De Broglie interference of fullerenes and as the like already proves the wavelike behaviour of these heavy particles, while we aim to extract more quantitative information about the superposition quantum state in motion. We ...

The Talbot–Ogden hydrology model provides a fast mass conservative method to compute infiltration in unsaturated soils. As a replacement for a model based on Richards equation, it separates the groundwater movement into infiltration and redistribution for every time step. The typical feature making this method fast is the discretization of the moisture content domain rather than the spatial one...

The School of Medicine set recruitment records with this year’s new class of doctoral students, receiving the largest-ever pool of applicants and boasting the highest acceptance rate in the school’s history. Of the 2,030 applicants to Stanford’s biosciences PhD programs, 174 were offered admission and 116 accepted, according to William Talbot, PhD, the medical school’s senior associate dean for...
