Topological features of vector vortex beams perturbed with uniformly polarized light
Alessio D'Errico, Maria Maffei, Bruno Piccirillo +3
Optical singularities manifesting at the center of vector vortex beams are unstable, since their topological charge is higher than the lowest value permitted by Maxwell's equations…
Quantum walks and wavepacket dynamics on a lattice with twisted photons
Filippo Cardano, Francesco Massa, Hammam Qassim +8
The "quantum walk" has emerged recently as a paradigmatic process for the dynamic simulation of complex quantum systems, entanglement production and quantum computation. Hitherto,…
Hardy's paradox tested in the spin-orbit Hilbert space of single photons
Ebrahim Karimi, Filippo Cardano, Maria Maffei +4
We test experimentally the quantum ``paradox'' proposed by Lucien Hardy in 1993 [Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 1665 (1993)] by using single photons instead of photon pairs. This is achieved…
Photonic quantum walk in a single beam with twisted light
Filippo Cardano, Francesco Massa, Ebrahim Karimi +6
Inspired by the classical phenomenon of random walk, the concept of quantum walk has emerged recently as a powerful platform for the dynamical simulation of complex quantum systems…
