Cover Story: This work presents a pedagogical derivation of the one-dimensional ray equation directly from Snell’s law. While the ray equation is usually obtained from Fermat’s principle via variational calculus, this study starts with Snell’s law, typically taught for sharp interfaces, and extends it to continuous refractive media. Two methods are introduced—one using Dyson’s expression for layered media and another based on a differential form of Snell’s law. As an application, we provide an analytical solution for the light trajectory in an inferior mirage. This approach offers students an accessible bridge between elementary geometric optics and the more general ray equation. View this paper

Measurement uncertainty limits how precisely information can be extracted from quantum systems due to inherent quantum indeterminacy. On the other hand, dense coding capacity quantifies the amount of classical information that can be sent using share...

  • Oleg K. Cheremnykh

8 September 2025

We demonstrate the possibility of generation of zonal (shear) flows in a rotating self-gravitating fluid. A set of equations describing the nonlinear interaction between a large-scale zonal flow (ZF) and a small-scale drift-gravity wave is derived. A...

Semiclassical (SC) approximations for various representations of a quantum state are constructed on a single (Lagrangian) surface in the phase space but such surface is not available for chaotic systems. An analogous evolution surface underlies SC re...
