  text: "This thesis is structured into two parts. In the first part, we consider
    the random\r\nvariable X := Tr(f1(W)A1 . . . fk(W)Ak) where W is an N × N Hermitian
    Wigner matrix, k ∈ N, and we choose (possibly N-dependent) regular functions f1,
    . . . , fk as well as\r\nbounded deterministic matrices A1, . . . , Ak. In this
    context, we prove a functional central\r\nlimit theorem on macroscopic and mesoscopic
    scales, showing that the fluctuations of X\r\naround its expectation are Gaussian
    and that the limiting covariance structure is given\r\nby a deterministic recursion.
    We further give explicit error bounds in terms of the scaling\r\nof f1, . . .
    , fk and the number of traceless matrices among A1, . . . , Ak, thus extending\r\nthe
    results of Cipolloni, Erdős and Schröder [40] to products of arbitrary length
    k ≥ 2.\r\nAnalyzing the underlying combinatorics leads to a non-recursive formula
    for the variance\r\nof X as well as the covariance of X and Y := Tr(fk+1(W)Ak+1
    . . . fk+ℓ(W)Ak+ℓ) of similar\r\nbuild. When restricted to polynomials, these
    formulas reproduce recent results of Male,\r\nMingo, Peché, and Speicher [107],
    showing that the underlying combinatorics of noncrossing partitions and annular
    non-crossing permutations continue to stay valid beyond\r\nthe setting of second-order
    free probability theory. As an application, we consider the\r\nfluctuation of
    Tr(eitW A1e\r\n−itW A2)/N around its thermal value Tr(A1) Tr(A2)/N2 when t\r\nis
    large and give an explicit formula for the variance.\r\nThe second part of the
    thesis collects three smaller projects focusing on different random\r\nmatrix
    models. In the first project, we show that a class of weakly perturbed Hamiltonians\r\nof
    the form Hλ = H0 + λW, where W is a Wigner matrix, exhibits prethermalization.\r\nThat
    is, the time evolution generated by Hλ relaxes to its ultimate thermal state via
    an\r\nintermediate prethermal state with a lifetime of order λ\r\n−2\r\n. As the
    main result, we obtain\r\na general relaxation formula, expressing the perturbed
    dynamics via the unperturbed\r\ndynamics and the ultimate thermal state. The proof
    relies on a two-resolvent global law\r\nfor the deformed Wigner matrix Hλ.\r\nThe
    second project focuses on correlated random matrices, more precisely on a correlated
    N × N Hermitian random matrix with a polynomially decaying metric correlation\r\nstructure.
    A trivial a priori bound shows that the operator norm of this model is stochastically
    dominated by √\r\nN. However, by calculating the trace of the moments of the matrix\r\nand
    using the summable decay of the cumulants, the norm estimate can be improved to
    a\r\nbound of order one.\r\nIn the third project, we consider a multiplicative
    perturbation of the form UA(t) where U\r\nis a unitary random matrix and A = diag(t,
    1, ..., 1). This so-called UA model was\r\nfirst introduced by Fyodorov [73] for
    its applications in scattering theory. We give a\r\ngeneral description of the
    eigenvalue trajectories obtained by varying the parameter t and\r\nintroduce a
    flow of deterministic domains that separates the outlier resulting from the\r\nrank-one
    perturbation from the typical eigenvalues for all sub-critical timescales. The\r\nresults
    are obtained under generic assumptions on U that hold for various unitary random\r\nmatrices,
    including the circular unitary ensemble (CUE) in the original formulation of\r\nthe
    model."

  text: 'In this paper, we report dispersion-engineered metasurfaces with distinct
    functionalities controlled by wavelength. Unlike previous approaches based on
    spatial multiplexing or vertical stacking of metasurfaces, we utilize a single
    phase profile with wavelength dependence encoded in the phase shifters’ dispersion.
    We designed and fabricated a multiwavelength achromatic metalens (MAM) with achromatic
    focusing for blue (B), green (G), yellow (Y), and red (R) light and two wavelength-controlled
    beam generators (WCBG): one focuses light with orbital angular momentum (OAM)
    states (l = 0,1,2) corresponding to three primary colors; the other produces ordinary
    focal spots (l = 0) for red and green light, while generating a vortex beam (l
    = 1) in the blue. A full color (RGB) hologram is also demonstrated in simulation.
    Our approach opens a path to applications ranging from near-eye displays and holography
    to compact multiwavelength beam generation.'
