We propose a quantum-mechanical model of a nonlinear beam splitter having third-order nonlinearity. We show that nonclassical features, such as squeezing and sub-Poissonian photon statistics of optical fields, can be generated in the output when we mix coherent light beams via such a nonlinear beam splitter.

High-efficiency three-port beam splitter under normal incidence.
J Opt Soc Am A Opt Image Sci Vis
August 2024
A fused-silica three-port grating under TE-polarized normal incidence is designed and manufactured with improved diffraction efficiency (DE) and bandwidth. A physical explanation of the grating diffraction is provided using the simplified mode method (SMM), and parameters of the grating structure were optimized using rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA). For a given set of optimized parameters, a transmitted three-port grating with an area of 170 ×170 was fabricated by scanning beam interference lithography (SBIL), and diffraction properties were investigated.

Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are specialized optical components that manipulate light through diffraction for various applications, including holography, spectroscopy, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), and light detection and ranging (LiDAR). The performance of DOEs is highly determined by fabricated materials and fabrication methods, in addition to the numerical simulation design. This paper presents a microfabrication technique optimized for DOEs, enabling precise control of critical parameters, such as refractive index (RI) and thickness.

High-dimensional multipartite entanglement plays a crucial role in quantum information science. However, existing schemes for generating such entanglement become complex and costly as the dimension of quantum units increases. In this Letter, we overcome the limitation by proposing a significantly enhanced linear optical heralded scheme that generates the d-level N-partite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state with single-photon sources and linear operations.

Article Synopsis
- Efficient readout of information is crucial for quantum simulation, yet standard measurements typically focus on just one observable at a time.
- This research introduces an atomic beam splitter for controlled outcoupling, allowing simultaneous measurement of both number imbalance and relative phase in two coupled 1D Bose gases, acting as a simulator for sine-Gordon field theory.
- The method demonstrates quantum limitations through number squeezing, tracks Josephson oscillation dynamics, and permits atom extraction while preserving coherent dynamics, paving the way for studying quantum properties and multitime correlation functions in larger systems.

This study proposes a spin-valley electron beam splitter based on the inner-edge states in a topological-insulator junction, which can allocate different ratios of spin-valley current outputs. Since the inner-edge states are associated with the "nearest path selection" mechanism, this device is referred to as the interface-modulating spin-valley electron beam splitter. Additionally, two perfect spin-valley filters in similar topological-insulator junctions are established in this study.
