Electromagnetic waves, solutions to Maxwell’s equations, are
"transverse" in vacuum. Namely, the waves’ oscillatory electric and
magnetic fields are confined within a plane transverse to the waves’
propagation direction. Thus, the polarisation of these fields can be
described by an arbitrary vectorial superposition of two vectors lying
in the transverse plane. Though...
Trapped ions are a leading hardware platform for quantum information processing, in particular quantum simulation. Qubits or (pseudo-)spin states encoded in the internal electronic structure of ions can be precisely controlled, and quantum coherence for individual qubits can last for several minutes. Phonon-mediated programmable long range inter-spin interactions can be engineered by shining...
We have developed a photonic device for the detection of gases at sub-ppmv levels of concentration using a modified Intra Cavity Absorption Spectroscopy (ICAS) technique [Technique for the detection of trace gases using intracavity fiber laser absorption spectroscopy (IFLAS), G Das - US Patent 9,705,277, 2017]. In the new ICAS technique, the system was operated near the laser threshold...
We construct a model for surface-plasmon polaritons propagation along lossy curved interfaces and introduce a set of conditions to characterize surface-plasmon polaritons propagation at these interfaces. Mathematically, we employ conformal transformation to map the curved interfaces between lossy linear, isotropic and homogeneous materials to planar interfaces between lossy inhomogeneous...
