We consider the entanglement marginal problem, which consists of deciding whether a number of reduced density matrices are compatible with an overall separable quantum state. To tackle this problem, we propose hierarchies of semidefinite…

It is shown that the Stokes-Mueller formalism can be reformulated in terms of quaternions, and the quaternion approach is more suitable for the formalism of Mueller-Jones states that we have recently described. In terms of quaternions it…
The polarizations of optical fields, besides field intensities, provide more degrees of freedom to manipulate coherent light-matter interactions. Here we propose how to achieve a coherent switch of optomechanical entanglement in a…

Despite the intrinsic coupling between electric and magnetic fields in random stationary light, their polarization properties are not mutually determined. A complete second-order description thus necessitates a joint electromagnetic…
