We analyse the boundary structure of General Relativity in the coframe formalism in the case of a lightlike boundary, i.e., when the restriction of the induced Lorentzian metric to the boundary is degenerate. We describe the associated…

We consider a geometrization, i.e., we identify geometrical structures, for the space of density states of a quantum system. We also provide few comments on a possible application of this geometrization for composite systems.

The twisted Gaussian Schell Model describes a family of partially coherent beams that present several interesting characteristics, and as such have attracted attention in classical and quantum optics. Recent techniques have been…

This paper develops a unified framework for observables in n-plectic geometry, extending the L_infty-algebra of Hamiltonian (n-1)-forms to Hamiltonian forms of all degrees via a degree-shifting Grassmann variable u that encodes submanifold…

We show that the sum over geometries in the Lorentzian 4-D state sum model for quantum GR in [1] includes terms which correspond to geometries on manifolds with conical singularities. Natural approximations suggest that they can be…

Complex vector light modes, classically-entangled in their spatial and polarisation degrees of freedom (DoF), havebecome ubiquitous in a vast diversity of research fields. Crucially, while polarisation is limited to a bi-dimensionalspace,…

We present a novel scheme of structured light laser with an astigmatic mode converter (AMC) as intracavity element, first enabling the generation of Hermite-Gaussian (HG) modes with fully controlled two-dimensional (2D) indices (m,n) and…

We present a method to characterize the polarization state of a light field in the continuous-variable regime. Instead of using the abstract formalism of SU(2) quasidistributions, we model polarization in the classical spirit by superposing…

We show that the elementary modes of the planar harmonic oscillator can be quantised in the framework of quantum mechanics based on pseudo-hermitian hamiltonians. These quantised modes are demonstrated to act as dynamical structures behind…

We present a general, second quantization procedure for multi-transverse-spatial mode Gaussian beam dynamics in nonlinear interactions. Previous treatments have focused on the spectral density and angular distribution of spatial modes. Here…
