AI and physicists develop new causality framework for scattering matrices

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new theoretical framework has been developed to directly express causality sum rules within conventional scattering matrices, bypassing the need for auxiliary variables. This approach utilizes the earliest-arrival delay of each channel to define a domain-delayed matrix, which maintains real-frequency passivity and restores the causal time origin. The framework, which was initially explored by the AI system Qiushi Engine and subsequently refined by human researchers, recovers existing sum rules and extends causality bounds to measurable quantities like insertion loss and delay-bandwidth trade-offs.

    Causality Sum Rules in Conventional Scattering Matrices

    arXiv:2608.10427v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scattering matrices are the standard experimental and computational description of photonic and electromagnetic devices. Passivity is explicit in the conventional incoming-outgoing matrix, whereas causality sum rules are usually f…
