We study radial waves in (2+1)-dimensional noncommutative scalar field theory, using operatorial methods. The waves propagate along a discrete radial coordinate and are described by finite series deformations of Bessel-type functions. At…

The Schmidt decomposition is an important tool in the study of quantum systems especially for the quantification of the entanglement of pure states. However, the Schmidt decomposition is only unique for bipartite pure states, and some…
Two-photon anti-bunching at a beamsplitter is only possible if the photons are entangled in a specific state, anti-symmetric in the spatial modes. Thus, observation of anti-bunching is an indication of entanglement in a degree of freedom…

We develop a formalism to describe squeezed light with large spectral-temporal correlations. This description is valid in all regimes, but is especially applicable in the long pulse to continuous-wave limit where the photon density at any…
When two or more subsystems of a quantum system interact with each other they can become entangled. In this case the individual subsystems can no longer be described as pure quantum states. For systems with only 2 subsystems this…
