Evidence for Counterfactual Violation of Local Conservation Laws in Quantum Events

Patrick Cameron, Francesco Di Colandrea, Filippo Cardano +1

Physical conservation laws, such as those of energy and momentum, are generally believed to hold exactly and locally in spacetime, including in quantum phenomena. Yet Aharonov, Pop…

Skyrmionic polarization textures in structured dielectric planar media

Francesco Di Colandrea, Lorenzo Marrucci, Filippo Cardano

Skyrmionic patterns of optical fields have recently emerged across diverse photonic platforms. Here, we show that such textures also arise in the polarization eigenstates of light…
