Single atom in a superoscillatory optical trap

Hamim Mahmud Rivy, Syed A. Aljunid, Emmanuel Lassalle +2

Optical tweezers have become essential tools to manipulate atoms or molecules at a single particle level. However, using standard diffracted-limited optical systems, the transverse…

Photonic Metamaterial Analogue of a Continuous Time Crystal

Tongjun Liu, Jun-Yu Ou, Kevin F. MacDonald +1

Time crystals are an eagerly sought phase of matter with broken time-translation symmetry. Quantum time crystals with discretely broken time-translation symmetry have been demonstr…

Experimental demonstration of Quantum Overlapping Tomography

Yang Zhengning, Shihao Ru, Lianzhen Cao +2

Quantum tomography is one of the major challenges of large-scale quantum information research due to the exponential time complexity. In this work, we develop and apply a Bayesian…

Toroidal optical transitions in hydrogen-like atoms

Ilya Kuprov, David Wilkowski, Nikolay Zheludev

It is commonly believed that electromagnetic spectra of atoms and molecules can be fully described by interactions of electric and magnetic multipoles. However, it has recently bec…

Optical skyrmions and other topological quasiparticles of light

Yijie Shen, Qiang Zhang, Peng Shi +3

Skyrmions are topologically stable quasiparticles that have been predicted and demonstrated in quantum fields, solid-state physics, and magnetic materials, but only recently observ…
