In this work we present numerical results of the far field intensity distributions obtained for a Gaussian beam after crossing a thin nonlinear nonlocal material that exhibit nonlinear refraction and absorption. The distributions are obtained for different positions along the Z axis and different signs of the nonlinear absorption. The results demonstrate that the far field intensity patterns obtained for strong nonlocal media are more affected by the presence of the nonlinear absorption than weak nonlocal media.

Over the past decade, most of researches on the communication between the neurons are based on synapses. However, the changes in action potentials in neurons may produce complex electromagnetic fields in the media, which may also have an impact on the electrical activity of neurons. To explore this factor, we construct a two-layer neuronal network composed of identical Hindmarsh-Rose neurons.

We propose a reaction-diffusion system that converts topological information of an active nematic into chemical signals. We show that a curvature-activated reaction dipole is sufficient for creating a system that dynamically senses topology by producing a concentration field possessing local extrema coinciding with ±1/2 defects. The enabling term is analogous to polarization charge density seen in dielectric materials.

The aggregation equation arises naturally in kinetic theory in the study of granular media, and its interpretation as a 2-Wasserstein gradient flow for the nonlocal interaction energy is well-known. Starting from the spatially homogeneous inelastic Boltzmann equation, a formal Taylor expansion reveals a link between this equation and the aggregation equation with an appropriately chosen interaction potential. Inspired by this formal link and the fact that the associated aggregation equation also dissipates the kinetic energy, we present a novel way of interpreting the aggregation equation as a gradient flow, in the sense of curves of maximal slope, of the kinetic energy, rather than the usual interaction energy, with respect to an appropriately constructed transportation metric on the space of probability measures.

Nonlocal and quantum mechanical phenomena in noble metal nanostructures become increasingly crucial when the relevant length scales in hybrid nanostructures reach the few-nanometer regime. In practice, such mesoscopic effects at metal-dielectric interfaces can be described using exemplary surface-response functions (SRFs) embodied by the Feibelman -parameters. Here we show that SRFs dramatically influence quantum electrodynamic phenomena - such as the Purcell enhancement and Lamb shift - for quantum light emitters close to a diverse range of noble metal nanostructures interfacing different homogeneous media.

Over a century ago, Einstein formulated a precise mathematical model for describing Brownian motion. While this model adequately explains the diffusion of micron-sized particles in fluids, its limitations become apparent when applied to molecular self-diffusion in fluids. The foundational principles of Gaussianity and Markovianity, central to the Brownian diffusion paradigm, are insufficient for describing molecular diffusion, particularly in complex fluids characterized by intricate intermolecular interactions and hindered relaxation processes.
