Theory and simulations of few-photon Fock state pulses strongly interacting with a single qubit in a waveguide: Exact population dynamics and time-dependent spectra by Sofia Arranz Regidor, Andreas Knorr, Stephen Hughes

“…We present a detailed quantum theory and simulations of few-photon Fock state pulses interacting with a two-level system (TLS) in an open waveguide-QED system. For a rectangular pulse shape, we present an exact temporal scattering theory to derive analytical expressions for the TLS population, using one-photon and two-photon pulses, for both chiral and symmetric emitters. …”

Resolution improvement filter for sonar returns by A. DYKA

“…The concern of this paper is the Single Pulse Resolution Filter – SPRF, which is capable of resolving near-rectangular overlapping pulses. The reason for assuming such pulses is that despite the attractive properties of matched filter pulse compression most operational sonar systems continue to use a finite-length rectangular pulse of constant frequency. …”

Methods to account for incomplete viewsheds in distance sampling by David M. Delaney, Tyler M. Harms, Jonathan P. Harris, Dan J. Kaminski, Jace R. Elliott, Stephen J. Dinsmore

“…Geographic Information Systems allow measurements of the area viewable from a given location (i.e. the viewshed), the structure of which may not reflect theoretical PDFs for either line (rectangular) or point (circular) transects. We simulated three datasets to test how variation in the viewshed structure affects estimates of detection probability, abundance, and density. …”
