The degenerate case of normal incidence and reflection of an optical beam (both paraxial and non-paraxial) at a plane isotropic dielectric interface, which is azimuthally symmetric in terms of the momentum-spatial variation of Fresnel…
We examine an exactly solvable model of decoherence - a spin-system interacting with a collection of environment spins. We show that in this model (introduced some time ago to illustrate environment-induced superselection) generic…
The search for quantum coherence based on isolated atoms integrated with a room temperature solid state device (so-called atomchip [1-3]) has been intensifying in the last decade, with advances being made towards applications such as…
We investigate the spatio-temporal dynamics of coupled chaotic systems with nonlocal interactions, where each element is coupled to its nearest neighbors within a finite range. Depending upon the coupling strength and coupling radius, we…
Our conventional system of physical units is based on local or microscopic {\it dimensional} quantities which are {\it defined}, for convenience or otherwise aesthetic reasons, to be spacetime-independent. A more general choice of units may…
Yuan and Feng [Eur. Phys. J. Plus 138:70, 2023] recently proposed a modification of the nested Mach-Zehnder interferometer experiment performed by Danan et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111:240402, 2013] and argued that photons give "contradictory"…
The law of reflection and Snell's law are among the tenets of geometrical optics. Corrections to these laws in wave optics are respectively known as the angular Goos-H\"anchen shift and Fresnel filtering. In this paper we give a positive…
In General Relativity and gauge field theory, one often encounters a claim, which may be called the boundary problem, according to which "boundaries break diffeomorphism and gauge symmetries". We argue that this statement has the same…
We study the effect of the double potentials (barrier, well) on the Goos-H\"anchen (GH) shifts in phosphorene. We determine the solutions of the energy spectrum associated with the five regions that make up our system. By studying the phase…
We present a class of diffraction-free partially coherent beams each member of which is comprised of a finite power, non-accelerating Airy bump residing on a statistically homogeneous, Gaussian-correlated background. We examine free-space…
The intrinsic spin-orbit coupling in the 2D staggered monolayer semiconductors is very large as compared to graphene. The large spin orbit interaction in these materials leads to the opening of a gap in the energy spectrum and…
A particle beam may undergo an anomalous spatial shift when it is reflected at an interface. The shift forms a vector field defined in the two-dimensional interface momentum space. We show that, although the shift vector at individual…
The spin dependent reflection at the interface is the key element to understand the spin transport. By completely solving the scattering problem based on first principles method, we obtained the spin resolved reflectivity spectra. The…
We present the first experimental observation of modulation instability of partially spatially incoherent light beams in non-instantaneous nonlinear media. We show that even in such a nonlinear partially coherent system (of…
We present a novel fundamental effect that for the matter waves the space-averaging free-fall point of quantum particles undergoes a spin-dependent transverse shift in the gravitational field of Earth. This effect is similar to the…
Partially coherent light beams are encountered both in classical and in quantum optics. Their coherence properties generally depend on the correlation properties of their sources. In this paper, we propose a technique for controlling the…
We show that temporal two-photon interference effects involving the signal and idler photons created by parametric down-conversion can be fully characterized in terms of the variations of two length parameters--called the biphoton…
The quantum Goos-H\"{a}nchen shift for ballistic electrons is investigated in a parabolic potential well under a uniform vertical magnetic field. It is found that the Goos-H\"{a}nchen shift can be negative as well as positive, and becomes…
