Equivalence between focussed paraxial beams and the quantum harmonic oscillator
Ole Steuernagel
The paraxial approximation to the scalar Helmholtz equation is shown to be equivalent to the Schrödinger equation for a quantum harmonic oscillator. This equivalence maps the Gouy-…
Comment on "Quantum Interferometric Optical Lithography: Exploiting Entanglement to Beat the Diffraction Limit"
Ole Steuernagel
Comment on "Quantum Interferometric Optical Lithography: Exploiting Entanglement to Beat the Diffraction Limit" The effective absorption rates in quantum lithography are very low.
Detecting N-particle interference patterns with linear balanced N-port analyzers
Ole Steuernagel
A standard two-path interferometer fed into a linear N-port analyzer with coincidence detection of its output ports is analyzed. The N-port is assumed to be implemented as a discre…
Excited stationary states of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates
John A. Vaccaro, Ole Steuernagel, Ben Lorimer
We investigate the excited stationary states of Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in harmonic potentials. We derive simple analytical approximations of the first few eigenstates of…
Uncertainty is complementary to Complementarity
Ole Steuernagel
For any ideal two-path interferometer it is shown that the wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics implies Heisenberg's uncertainty relation and vice versa. It is conjectured th…
