Chiroptical techniques for detecting and characterizing the chirality of matter and artificial nanostructures are traditionally based on their interaction with chiral light, typically circularly-polarized fields propagating in free space.…
We identify chiral inversion points in slow-light, glide-plane-symmetric, photonic-crystal waveguides, defined as fixed locations where the local optical chirality changes sign over a narrow wavelength range. We experimentally access this…

Four-wave mixing (FWM) is an efficient source of light waves emitted at various frequencies, usually associated with third-order optical nonlinearities. Whereas attention has mostly been paid in the past to the generation of Stokes (e.g.,…
We investigate symmetry restoration and spatially localized dynamics in a non-Hermitian optical trimer composed of three lossy waveguides with complex-valued couplings. Extending our previous analysis of the system's global bifurcation…
We search for $\Xi^0p$, $\Omega^-p$, and $\Omega^-n$ dibaryon states in $\Upsilon(1S)$ and $\Upsilon(2S)$ decays, probing mass regions near the corresponding baryon-pair thresholds. Multistrange baryon-baryon interactions are relevant to…
We present a comprehensive benchmarking dataset and empirical scaling law analysis for neural network wavefunctions by matching them to a wide spectrum of famous many body target wavefunctions. The dataset, WF-Bench, spans multiple distinct…
Photon superbunching, which occurs when the second-order correlation satisfies $g^{(2)}> 2$, is typically associated with strong optical nonlinearities or collective multi-photon emission processes. We predict that extreme superbunching can…
High-speed imaging of cells in flow is essential for probing cellular heterogeneity in large populations. Existing imaging approaches based on single-pixel detection and spatio-temporal encoding provide exceptional speed, but typically rely…
High quality-factor (Q) resonant metasurfaces have attracted significant attention due to their potential applications in cutting-edge fields of optics. However, limited by intrinsic dissipation losses, achieving both an extremely high Q…
We study single-photon scattering by atoms in arrays of one-way waveguides. We investigate both chiral and antichiral arrays, where the one-way waveguides are aligned in the same and opposite directions, respectively. In the chiral array,…
Photon-induced near-field electron microscopy (PINEM) has emerged as a powerful technique for imaging optical excitations with nanometer spatial and sub-picosecond temporal resolution. Recent years have extended the bandwidth of operation…
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are widely used in particle and nuclear physics experiments. The reconstruction of PMT waveforms is a fundamental task in these experiments, where accurate extraction of photoelectron (PE) multiplicities and…

Temporal cavity solitons generated in monochromatically driven dispersive Kerr resonators offer an attractive avenue for on-chip optical frequency comb generation. Key to many of their applications is to understand how noise -- both…
Optical fibres are the primary medium for optical signal transmission, and their guided modes provide a high-dimensional basis for modal-domain information encoding. However, conventional demultiplexing approaches typically convert fibre…
Mid-infrared hyperspectral imaging has become an indispensable tool to spatially resolve chemical information in a wide variety of samples. However, acquiring three-dimensional data cubes is typically time-consuming due to the limited speed…
