The Goos-H\"anchen (GH) shift describes a phenomenon in which a specularly-reflected beam is laterally translated along the reflecting surface such that the incident and reflected rays no longer intersect at the surface. Using a neutron…

We consider the propagation of a matter wavepacket of two-level atoms through a square potential created by a super-Gaussian laser beam. We explore the matter wave analog of Goos-H\"{a}nchen shift within the framework of atom optics where…

We theoretically investigate the control of the Goos-H\"anchen shift (GHS) of a reflected weak probe field in both parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$)-symmetric and conventional optomechanical systems. The proposed scheme consists of a single…

We study the classical optics effects known as Goos-H\"anchen (GH) and Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shifts, occurring when reflecting a bounded light beam from a planar surface, by using a quantum-mechanical formalism. This new approach allows us to…

We investigate the behavior of relativistic electrons encountering a potential step through analogies with optical phenomena. By accounting for the conservation of Dirac current, we elucidate that the Goos-H\"anchen shift can be understood…

We show in which conditions optical gaussian beams, propagating throughout an homogeneous dielectric right angle prism, present an asymmetric Goos-H\"anchen (GH) effect. This asymmetric behavior is seen for incidence at critical angles and…

We explore the analogy between following the motion of a reflected wave packet, and a quantum measurement of the spatial delay imposed on the particle by the scattering potential. It is shown that converting such delays into temporal…

We have investigated that the Goos-H\"anchen (GH) shifts in frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) studied with wave packet propagation. In the first-order approximation of the transmission coefficient, the GH shift is exactly the…

When a three-level atomic wavepacket is obliquely incident on a "edium slab" consisting of two far-detuned laser beams, there exists lateral shift between reflection and incident points at the surface of a "medium slab", analogous to…

Applying Artmann's formula to the TE-polarized incident waves, we theoretically show that the Goos-H\"{a}nchen (GH) shifts near the angle of the pseudo-Brewster dip of the reflection from a slab of chiral metamaterial can be greatly…

As a paraxial wave packet is reflected or refracted from a planar interface separating two material media, it experiences spatial and angular shifts of its center position with respect to predictions of the geometrical ray picture. These…

It is well known that reflection of a Gaussian light beam ($\text{TEM}_{00}$) by a planar dielectric interface leads to four beam shifts when compared to the geometrical-optics prediction. These are the spatial Goos-H\"{a}nchen (GH) shift,…

An exact analogy between wave mechanics in quantum theory and the scalar wave treatment of optics emerges from the marriage of Newtonian formulation of geometrical optics [1] and the ``formal quantum theory of light rays'' [2]. Here the…
