Mathematical Theories for Metamaterials: From Condensed Matter Theory to Subwavelength Physics

Explore a comprehensive mathematical theory for subwavelength physics in this 59-minute conference talk by Mahesh Kakde at ICBS2024. Delve into the manipulation of waves at subwavelength scales and its impact on nanotechnology. Discover a rigorous framework derived from first principles that explains the remarkable properties of metamaterials. Learn how quantum phenomena from condensed-matter physics are transposed to classical waves at subwavelength scales, and understand the similarities and fundamental differences between the mathematical treatments of quantum and classical worlds, including long-range interactions.
