Picosecond-resolved entanglement distribution over an urban free-space channel

Alessandro Laneve, Fabrizio Cienzo, Santiago Gomez +18

Time-evolving entangled states describe quantum particles whose correlations evolve in time according to a well-defined dynamics. Such states can be generated in a variety of physi…

Pseudospin-2 in photonic chiral borophene

Philip Menz, Haissam Hanafi, Daniel Leykam +2

Pseudospin is an angular momentum degree of freedom introduced in analogy to the real electron spin in the effective massless Dirac-like equation used to describe wave evolution at…

Noncontractible loop states from a partially flat band in a photonic borophene lattice

Philip Menz, Haissam Hanafi, Jörg Imbrock +1

Flat band systems are usually associated to compact localized states (CLSs) resulting from the macroscopic degeneracy of eigenstates at the flat band energy. In case of singular fl…

Localized dynamics arising from multiple flat bands in a decorated photonic Lieb lattice

Haissam Hanafi, Philip Menz, Allan McWilliam +2

Photonic lattices have emerged as a promising approach to localize light in space, for example, through topologically protected edge states and Aharonov-Bohm caging. They are of pa…

Localized states emerging from singular and nonsingular flat bands in a frustrated fractal-like photonic lattice

Haissam Hanafi, Philip Menz, Cornelia Denz

We report on singular and nonsingular flat bands in a Sierpinski fractal-like photonic lattice. We demonstrate that the the lowest two bands, being isolated and degenerate due to g…
