The definition of accessible coherence is proposed. Through local measurement on the other subsystem and one way classical communication, a subsystem can access more coherence than the coherence of its density matrix. Based on the local…

Measuring the alignment of polarized radio sources requires comparing vectors at different locations on the sky, i.e. on a sphere. A test of alignment is derived herein. While both large scale and coordinate independent, the test avoids the…
Electromagnetic sources, as e.g. lasers, antennas, diffusers or thermal sources, produce a wavefield that interacts with objects to transfer them its momentum. We show that the photonic force exerted on a small particle in the near field of…
Coherent states of the two dimensional harmonic oscillator are constructed as superpositions of energy and angular momentum eigenstates. It is shown that these states are Gaussian wave-packets moving along a classical trajectory, with a…
