Description
This internship explores how waves, whether classical or quantum, propagate through complex disordered systems. The project focuses on open channels, special wave states that can traverse opaque materials without reflection, revealing new forms of transport in strongly scattering media. Through numerical simulations and theoretical analysis, the student will investigate how disorder and polarization influence these channels and whether their behavior signals a phase transition between distinct propagation regimes. The work connects concepts from wave physics, statistical mechanics, and complex systems, and can naturally evolve toward a PhD on wave transport and emergent phenomena in open media.
