Atmospheric continuous-variable quantum communication

Bettina Heim, Christian Peuntinger, Nathan Killoran +4

We present a quantum communication experiment conducted over a point-to-point free-space link of 1.6 km in urban conditions. We study atmospheric influences on the capability of th…

Observation of the geometric spin Hall effect of light

Jan Korger, Andrea Aiello, Vanessa Chille +5

The spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) is the photonic analogue of spin Hall effects occurring for charge carriers in solid-state systems. Typical examples of this intriguing phenome…
