Metasurface-based hybrid optical cavities for chiral sensing
Nico S. Bassler, Andrea Aiello, Kai P. Schmidt +2
Quantum metasurfaces, i.e., two-dimensional subwavelength arrays of quantum emitters, can be employed as mirrors towards the design of hybrid cavities, where the optical response i…
A probabilistic view of wave-particle duality for single photons
Andrea Aiello
One of the most puzzling consequences of interpreting quantum mechanics in terms of concepts borrowed from classical physics, is the so-called wave-particle duality. Usually, wave-…
Spectral theorem for dummies: A pedagogical discussion on quantum probability and random variable theory
Andrea Aiello
John von Neumann's spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. Among other things, it also provides a connection between expectation values o…
Helicity, chirality and spin of optical fields without vector potentials
Andrea Aiello
Helicity , chirality , and spin angular momentum are three physical observables that play an important role in the study of optical fields. These quantities are…
One more time on the helicity decomposition of spin and orbital optical currents
Andrea Aiello
The helicity representation of the linear momentum density of a light wave is well understood for monochromatic optical fields in both paraxial and non-paraxial regimes of propagat…
Measuring the non-separability of spatially disjoint vectorial fields
Andrea Aiello, Xiao-Bo Hu, Valeria Rodríguez-Fajardo +4
Vectorial forms of structured light that are non-separable in their spatial and polarisation degrees of freedom have become topical of late, with an extensive toolkit for their cre…
