Non-quantum entanglement and a complete characterization of pre-Mueller and Mueller matrices in polarization optics
B. Neethi Simon, Sudhavathani Simon, N. Mukunda +4
The Mueller-Stokes formalism which governs conventional polarization optics is formulated for plane waves, and thus the only qualification one could demand of a real ma…
Non-quantum entanglement resolves a fundamental issue in Polarization optics
B. Neethi Simon, Sudhavathani Simon, F. Gori +4
The issue raised in this paper is classical in the sense of being ancient: which subset of 4X4 matrices should be accepted as physical Mueller matrices in polarization optics? Non-…
Compatibility conditions on local and global spectra for -mode Gaussian states
J. Solomon Ivan, R. Simon
Compatibility conditions between the (global) spectrum of an -mode Gaussian state and the spectra of the individual modes are presented, making optimal use of beam splitter and…
A measure of non-Gaussianity for quantum states
J. Solomon Ivan, M. Sanjay Kumar, R. Simon
We propose a measure of non-Gaussianity for quantum states of a system of oscillator modes. Our measure is based on the quasi-probability . Since any meas…
