The crustal and mantle structures of a planet bear important information about its origin and evolution. Seismic waves propagating along the shallow surface of a planet, known as surface waves, can be used to map its crustal and upper mantle structures. However, no such waves have ever been detected on any planet besides Earth.

The Runge-Kutta method is a class of important algorithms for numerically solving differential equations, and it has been widely used in many fields of science and engineering. The stability of the Runge-Kutta method has a decisive influence on its numerical results.

Quantum nonlocality is one of the most important properties of quantum physics, which is different from classical physics. It is the basis of modern quantum information processing tasks such as quantum key distribution, quantum random number, distributed quantum computation, and distributed quantum precision measurement.
