Optimal Diffractive Focusing of Quantum Waves
Maxim A. Efremov, Felix Hufnagel, Hugo Larocque +2
Following the familiar analogy between the optical paraxial wave equation and the Schrödinger equation, we derive the optimal, real-valued wave function for focusing in one and two…
Photonic crystal cavity IQ modulators in thin-film lithium niobate for coherent communications
Hugo Larocque, Dashiell L. P. Vitullo, Alexander Sludds +13
Thin-Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN) is an emerging integrated photonic platform showing great promise due to its large second-order nonlinearity at microwave and optical frequencies,…
Secure communication using low dimensional topological elements
Manuel F. Ferrer-Garcia, Avishy Carmi, Alessio D'Errico +3
Low-dimensional topological objects, such as knots and braids, have become prevalent in multiple areas of physics, such as fluid dynamics, optics, and quantum information processin…
Flat Magic Window
Felix Hufnagel, Alessio D'Errico, Hugo Larocque +3
Magic windows (or mirrors) consist of optical devices with a surface deformation or thickness distribution devised in such a way to form a desired image. The associated image inten…
Universal linear optics by programmable multimode interference
Hugo Larocque, Dirk Englund
We introduce a constructive algorithm for universal linear electromagnetic transformations between the input and output modes of a dielectric slab. The approach uses out-of…
Geometric phase from Aharonov-Bohm to Pancharatnam-Berry and beyond
Eliahu Cohen, Hugo Larocque, Frederic Bouchard +3
Whenever a quantum system undergoes a cycle governed by a slow change of parameters, it acquires a phase factor: the geometric phase. Its most common formulations are known as the…
