SUMMARY:Propagation of nonlinear waves in disordered media
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Boris Spivak \, Univ. of Washington\n\nPart of the Bi
	ophysics/Condensed Matter Seminar Series.\n\nWe study the propagation of st
	ationary waves in disordered nonlinear media described by the nonlinear Sch
	rödinger equation and show that\, for given boundary conditions and a give
	n coherent wave incident on the sample\, the number of solutions of the equ
	ation increases exponentially with sample size. We also discuss the ballist
	ic case\, the sensitivity of the solutions to the change of external parame
	ters\, the similarity of this problem to the problem of spin glasses\, and 
	time-dependent solutions. \nZoom:\nhttps://bostonu.zoom.us/j/97019503365?pw
