Parseval Wavelet Frames on Riemannian Manifold
PublicationWe construct Parseval wavelet frames in L 2 (M) for a general Riemannian manifold M and we show the existence of wavelet unconditional frames in L p (M) for 1 < p < ∞.

Swapping Space for Time: An Alternative to Time-Domain Interferometry
PublicationYoung's double-slit experiment [1] requires two waves produced simultaneously at two different points in space. In quantum mechanics the waves correspond to a single quantum object, even as complex as a big molecule. An interference is present as long as one cannot tell for sure which slit is chosen by the object. The more we know about the path, the worse the interference. In the paper we show that quantum mechanics allows for...
