VortexChat: An agentic framework for autonomous multi-objective integrated photonic design
Faqian Chong, Yulun Wu, Shilong Li +3
The advancement of modern integrated photonics is frequently bottlenecked by device design workflows that rely heavily on manual simulation and expert intuition. While inverse desi…
A reconfigurable arbitrary retarder array as complex structured matter
Chao He, Binguo Chen, Zipei Song +31
Tuneable retarder arrays, such as spatially patterned liquid crystal devices, have given rise to impressive photonic functionality, fuelling diverse applications ranging from micro…
The topological spectrum of high dimensional quantum states
Robert de Mello Koch, Pedro Ornelas, Neelan Gounden +3
Topology has emerged as a fundamental property of many systems, manifesting in cosmology, condensed matter, high-energy physics and waves. Despite the rich textures, the topology h…
Emulating a quantum Maxwell's demon with non-separable structured light
Edgar Medina-Segura, Paola C. Obando, Light Mkhumbuza +6
Maxwell's demon (MD) has proven an instructive vehicle by which to explore the relationship between information theory and thermodynamics, fueling the possibility of information dr…
Quantum Skyrmions in general quantum channels: topological noise rejection and the discretization of quantum information
Robert de Mello Koch, Bo-Qiang Lu, Pedro Ornelas +2
The topology of a pure state of two entangled photons is leveraged to provide a discretization of quantum information. Since discrete signals are inherently more resilient to the e…
