Polarization control is essential for tailoring light-matter interactions and is the foundation for many applications such as polarization imaging, nonlinear optics, data storage, and information ...

Polarization, which is one of the fundamental characteristics of electromagnetic wave, characterizes the vector nature of the oscillating electric field. Light beam with spatially homogeneous or ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American I’m in Paris, stumbling on streets named ...

We aim to create a “Poincaré interface”, which can highly efficiently and freely convert photon polarization represented by a Poincaré sphere to electron spin represented by a Bloch sphere, by ...

The public’s view of the mathematician as a reclusive genius toiling away for years at an arcane problem is one that will not go away. The media have enthusiastically seized on this image since the ...
