Algebraic Characterization of Biphoton Spatial-Mode Entanglement in Higher-Order Laguerre--Gaussian-Pumped SPDC

Takumi Jinushi, Hirokazu Kobayashi

High-dimensional spatial entanglement generated via spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) provides a powerful resource for quantum information processing, yet its mode stru…

Quantum Gouy phase singularities in a propagating biphoton state

Takumi Jinushi, Hirokazu Kobayashi

Phase singularities are topological defects around which the phase winds by an integer multiple of . In entangled multiphoton states, they can emerge nonlocally in the joint wa…

Comparative analysis of wavenumber response in phase contrast and spiral phase imaging systems for plasma diagnostics

Jigme Zangpo, Hirokazu Kobayashi, Haruki Kawaguchi +1

Phase contrast imaging (PCI) has been used for decades to study plasma density fluctuations, but its wavenumber response is constrained by the phase plate groove width and beam…

Phase-edge imaging using q-plate shifts for faster and simpler microscopy

Jigme Zangpo, Hirokazu Kobayashi, Ryo Yasuhara

We present a simplified method for isolating the edges of a phase object from the edges of an amplitude object using a 4f system with an off-axis q-plate. Instead of the four off-a…

Optical response of edge modes in time-reversal symmetric topological superconductors

Hirokazu Kobayashi, Han Bi, James Jun He +1

Topological superconductors and Majorana edge modes at their boundaries have been theoretically predicted. However, their experimental observation remains controversial. Recent the…

Isolation of phase edges using off-axis q-plate filters

Jigme Zangpo, Hirokazu Kobayashi

Edge-enhanced microscopes with q-plate have been attracted more attention to enhance the edges of phase-amplitude objects in biological sample due to their capability for all-direc…
