  2. Transverse-field Ising model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse-field_Ising_model

    The transverse field Ising model is a quantum version of the classical Ising model.It features a lattice with nearest neighbour interactions determined by the alignment or anti-alignment of spin projections along the axis, as well as an external magnetic field perpendicular to the axis (without loss of generality, along the axis) which creates an energetic bias for one x-axis spin direction ...

  3. Polarization (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(waves)

    Polarized light with its electric field along the plane of incidence is thus denoted p-polarized, while light whose electric field is normal to the plane of incidence is called s-polarized. P-polarization is commonly referred to as transverse-magnetic (TM), and has also been termed pi-polarized or π-polarized, or tangential plane polarized.

  4. Longitudinal mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_mode

    The first six longitudinal modes of a plane-parallel cavity. A longitudinal mode of a resonant cavity is a particular standing wave pattern formed by waves confined in the cavity. The longitudinal modes correspond to the wavelengths of the wave which are reinforced by constructive interference after many reflections from the cavity's reflecting ...

  5. Pockels effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pockels_effect

    Pockels cells are divided into two configurations depending on the crystals' electro-optic properties: longitudinal and transverse. Longitudinal Pockels cells operate with electric field applied along the crystal optic axis or along incident beam propagation. Such crystals include KDP, KD*P, and ADP.

  6. Six degrees of freedom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_freedom

    Specifically, the body is free to change position as forward/backward (surge), up/down (heave), left/right (sway) translation in three perpendicular axes, combined with changes in orientation through rotation about three perpendicular axes, often termed yaw (normal axis), pitch (transverse axis), and roll (longitudinal axis).

  7. List of equations in wave theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in_wave...

    A wave can be longitudinal where the oscillations are parallel (or antiparallel) to the propagation direction, or transverse where the oscillations are perpendicular to the propagation direction. These oscillations are characterized by a periodically time-varying displacement in the parallel or perpendicular direction, and so the instantaneous ...

  8. Quantum Hall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Hall_effect

    It is interesting to notice that if the magnetic field is very small, the longitudinal resistivity is a constant which means that the classical result is reached. Longitudinal and transverse (Hall) resistivity, ρ x x {\displaystyle \rho _{xx}} and ρ x y {\displaystyle \rho _{xy}} , of a two-dimensional electron gas as a function of magnetic ...

  9. Helmholtz decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_decomposition

    A terminology often used in physics refers to the curl-free component of a vector field as the longitudinal component and the divergence-free component as the transverse component. [22] This terminology comes from the following construction: Compute the three-dimensional Fourier transform F ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {\mathbf {F} }}} of the vector ...
