In complex media such as white paint and biological tissue, light encounters nanoscale
refractive-index inhomogeneities that cause multiple scattering. Such scattering is usually …

What do lotus flowers have in common with human bones, liquid crystals with colloidal
suspensions, and white beetles with the beautiful stones of the Taj Mahal? The answer is …

Sand, rice, sugar, snow, cement... Although ubiquitous in our daily lives, granular media still
challenge engineers and fascinate researchers. This book provides the state-of-the-art of the …

As light travels through a disordered medium such as biological tissues, it undergoes
multiple scattering events. This phenomenon is detrimental to in-depth optical microscopy …

First predicted for quantum particles in the presence of a disordered potential, Anderson
localization is a ubiquitous effect, observed also in classical systems, arising from the …

The optics of correlated disordered media is a conceptually rich research topic emerging at
the interface between the physics of waves in complex media and nanophotonics. Inspired …

The hallmark property of two-dimensional topological insulators is robustness of quantized
electronic transport of charge and energy against disorder in the underlying lattice. That …

Over the past decade, the Anderson localization of light and a wide variety of associated
phenomena have come to the forefront of research. Numerous investigations have been …

We study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in disordered photonic time crystals:
spatially homogenous media whose refractive index changes randomly in time. We find that …
