Nonlinear Schrödinger equations: Symmetries, superposition, and classicality from a Bohmian perspective
Ãngel S. Sanz
Interference is commonly regarded as the most direct manifestation of the superposition principle. This association is natural for the linear Schrödinger equation, where coherent…
Effective skyrmion number for mixed polarization states of light
Rosario MartÃnez-Herrero, Ãngel S. Sanz
Polarization skyrmions are usually characterized through a unit Stokes vector field, which defines a map from the transverse plane to the Poincaré (Bloch) sphere and allows one to…
Decoherence in matter-wave Talbot interference: a hydrodynamic probability-flow analysis
David Navia, Ãngel S. Sanz
We investigate the suppression of matter-wave Talbot interference under environmentally induced decoherence. The system is modeled as an atomic beam diffracted by a periodic gratin…
Wavelet-based multiresolution analysis of quantum fractals in confined dynamics
David Navia, Ãngel S. Sanz
Fractal structures naturally emerge in quantum systems whose initial states exhibit spatial discontinuities, a phenomenon first identified by Berry in the paradigmatic case of a pa…
Tailored Hotspots from Airy-Based Surface Plasmon Polaritons
Rosario MartÃnez-Herrero, Ãngel S. Sanz, Javier Hernandez-Rueda
Surface plasmons have attracted growing interest from the photonics community due to their inherent ability to controllably confine light below the diffraction limit and their dire…
