Magnetoelectric Effects in Local Light-Matter Interactions
Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Yuri S. Kivshar, Franco Nori
We study the generic interaction of a monochromatic electromagnetic field with bi-isotropic nanoparticles. Such an interaction is described by dipole-coupling terms associated with…
Classical Field Approach to Quantum Weak Measurements
Justin Dressel, Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Franco Nori
By generalizing the quantum weak measurement protocol to the case of quantum fields, we show that weak measurements probe an effective classical background field that describes the…
Extraordinary momentum and spin in evanescent waves
Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Aleksandr Y. Bekshaev, Franco Nori
Momentum and spin represent fundamental dynamical properties of quantum particles and fields. In particular, propagating optical waves (photons) carry momentum and longitudinal spi…
Photon trajectories, anomalous velocities, and weak measurements: A classical interpretation
Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Aleksandr Y. Bekshaev, Abraham G. Kofman +1
Recently, Kocsis et al. reported the observation of "average trajectories of single photons" in a two-slit interference experiment [Science 332, 1170 (2011)]. This was possible by…
Transverse relativistic effects in paraxial wave interference
Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Yana V. Izdebskaya, Franco Nori
We consider relativistic deformations of interfering paraxial waves moving in the transverse direction. Owing to superluminal transverse phase velocities, noticeable deformations o…
