A novel security‐based adaptive reconfigurable intelligent surfaces assisted clustering strategy by Yue Tian, Xiaofan Zheng

“…Owing to the complexity of the underwater environment, a security‐based adaptive RIS (SA‐RIS) clustering strategy, which aims to reflect optical signals among clusters to improve the performance of the overall system, is evaluated. By combining the underwater channel model, the closed‐form expressions of probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) are derived. …”

Real-time scattering in Ising field theory using matrix product states by Raghav G. Jha, Ashley Milsted, Dominik Neuenfeld, John Preskill, Pedro Vieira

“…In the postcollision wave function, particle tracks from all final-state channels occur in superposition; processes of interest can be isolated by projecting the wave function onto definite particle sectors, or by evaluating energy density correlation functions. Using numerical simulations we determine the time delay of elastic scattering and the probability of inelastic particle production as a function of collision energy. …”
