Expérimental et théorique Description
The project aims to explore the role of helicity conservation in electromagnetic transport through disordered media. Recent theoretical work suggests that when scattering preserves the helicity (handedness of circular polarization) of electromagnetic waves, Anderson localization can be inhibited, leading to a form of topological delocalization. This phenomenon has never been experimentally tested. The proposed internship will contribute to the preliminary design and modeling steps required to build a microwave platform capable of investigating this effect.
