We propose a general method to evaluate the material parameters for arbitrary shape transformation media. By solving the original coordinates in the transformed region via Laplaces equations, we can obtain the deformation field numerically, in turn the material properties of the devices to be designed such as cloaks, rotators or concentrators with arbitrary shape. Devices which have non-fixed outer boundaries, such as beam guider, can also be designed by the proposed method. Examples with full wave simulation are given for illustration. In the end, wave velocity and energy change in the transformation media are discussed with help of the deformation view.

Complex and interesting electromagnetic behavior can be found in spaces with non-flat topology. When considering the properties of an electromagnetic medium under an arbitrary coordinate transformation an alternative interpretation presents itself. T
he transformed material property tensors may be interpreted as a different set of material properties in a flat, Cartesian space. We describe the calculation of these material properties for coordinate transformations that describe spaces with spherical or cylindrical holes in them. The resulting material properties can then implement invisibility cloaks in flat space. We also describe a method for performing geometric ray tracing in these materials which are both inhomogeneous and anisotropic in their electric permittivity and magnetic permeability.
Precise modelling of the (off-axis) point spread function (PSF) to identify geometrical and polarization aberrations is important for many optical systems. In order to characterise the PSF of the system in all Stokes parameters, an end-to-end simulat
ion of the system has to be performed in which Maxwells equations are rigorously solved. We present the first results of a python code that we are developing to perform multiscale end-to-end wave propagation simulations that include all relevant physics. Currently we can handle plane-parallel near- and far-field vector diffraction effects of propagating waves in homogeneous isotropic and anisotropic materials, refraction and reflection of flat parallel surfaces, interference effects in thin films and unpolarized light. We show that the code has a numerical precision on the order of 1E-16 for non-absorbing isotropic and anisotropic materials. For absorbing materials the precision is on the order of 1E-8. The capabilities of the code are demonstrated by simulating a converging beam reflecting from a flat aluminium mirror at normal incidence.
Understanding the momentum of light when propagating through optical media is not only fundamental for studies as varied as classical electrodynamics and polaritonics in condensed matter physics, but also for important applications such as optical-fo
rce manipulations and photovoltaics. From a microscopic perspective, an optical medium is in fact a complex system that can split the light momentum into the electromagnetic field, as well as the material electrons and the ionic lattice. Here, we disentangle the partition of momentum associated with light propagation in optical media, and develop a quantum theory to explicitly calculate its distribution. The material momentum here revealed, which is distributed among electrons and ionic lattice, leads to the prediction of unexpected phenomena. In particular, the electron momentum manifests through an intrinsic DC current, and strikingly, we find that under certain conditions this current can be along the photonic wave vector, implying an optical pulling effect on the electrons. Likewise, an optical pulling effect on the lattice can also be observed, such as in graphene during plasmon propagation. We also predict the emergence of boundary electric dipoles associated with light transmission through finite media, offering a microscopic explanation of optical pressure on material boundaries.
Granular media (e.g., cereal grains, plastic resin pellets, and pills) are ubiquitous in robotics-integrated industries, such as agriculture, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical development. This prevalence mandates the accurate and efficient simulatio
n of these materials. This work presents a software and hardware framework that automatically calibrates a fast physics simulator to accurately simulate granular materials by inferring material properties from real-world depth images of granular formations (i.e., piles and rings). Specifically, coefficients of sliding friction, rolling friction, and restitution of grains are estimated from summary statistics of grain formations using likelihood-free Bayesian inference. The calibrated simulator accurately predicts unseen granular formations in both simulation and experiment; furthermore, simulator predictions are shown to generalize to more complex tasks, including using a robot to pour grains into a bowl, as well as to create a desired pattern of piles and rings.

We extend a recently introduced method for computing Casimir forces between arbitrarily--shaped metallic objects [M. T. H. Reid et al., Phys. Rev. Lett._103_ 040401 (2009)] to allow treatment of objects with arbitrary material properties, including i
mperfect conductors, dielectrics, and magnetic materials. Our original method considered electric currents on the surfaces of the interacting objects; the extended method considers both electric and magnetic surface current distributions, and obtains the Casimir energy of a configuration of objects in terms of the interactions of these effective surface currents. Using this new technique, we present the first predictions of Casimir interactions in several experimentally relevant geometries that would be difficult to treat with any existing method. In particular, we investigate Casimir interactions between dielectric nanodisks embedded in a dielectric fluid; we identify the threshold surface--surface separation at which finite--size effects become relevant, and we map the rotational energy landscape of bound nanoparticle diclusters.
