The coherent superposition of orthogonal modes can result in transverse offsets, variations of the Rayleigh length and a reduction of the beam quality factor of the coherent sum of modes in comparison to the incoherent sum. Relations for…

Firstly, we present a reformulation of the standard canonical approach to spherically symmetric systems in which the radial gauge is imposed. This is done via the gauge unfixing technique, which serves as the exposition in the context of…

Within the Hamiltonian framework, the propositions about a classical physical system are described in the Borel {\sigma}-algebra of a symplectic manifold (the phase space) where logical connectives are the standard set operations.…

In the previous parts of this work, we established the Prequantum Groupoid $\mathbf{T}_\omega$ as the universal geometric container for quantum mechanics. This approach, which we call the "Geometric Quantization by Paths" (GQbP) framework,…

The paper aims at presenting a didactic and self-contained overview of Gauss-Hermite and Gauss-Laguerre laser beam modes. The usual textbook approach for deriving these modes is to solve the Helmoltz electromagnetic wave equation within the…

We describe symmetry structure of a general singular theory (theory with constraints in the Hamiltonian formulation), and, in particular, we relate the structure of gauge transformations with the constraint structure. We show that any…

We consider two-dimensional harmonic oscillator in the complex Bargmann-Fock-Segal representation with $T^*{\mathbb R}^{2}={\mathbb C}^2$ as classical phase space. We show that the eigenfunctions $\psi_n$ of the quantum Hamiltonian…

The Hermite-Gaussian (HG) modes make up a complete and orthonormal basis, which have been extensively used to describe optical fields. Here, we demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, deep learning-based modal decomposition (MD)…

The application of geometry to physics has provided us with new insightful information about many physical theories such as classical mechanics, general relativity, and quantum geometry (quantum gravity). The geometry also plays an…

Quantization with coherent states allows to " quantize " any space X of parameters. In the case where X is a phase space, this leads to the usual quantum mechanics. But the procedure is much more general, and does not require a symplectic,…

The formalism of generalized Wigner transformations developped in a previous paper, is applied to kinetic equations of the Lindblad type for quantum harmonic oscillator models. It is first applied to an oscillator coupled to an equilibrium…

The modes of the electromagnetic field are solutions of Maxwell's equations taking into account the material boundary conditions. The field modes of classical optics - properly normalized - are also the mode functions of quantum optics.…

In this pedagogically structured article, we describe a generalized harmonic formulation of the Einstein equations in spherical symmetry which is regular at the origin. The generalized harmonic approach has attracted significant attention…

Motivated by group-theoretical questions that arise in the context of asymptotic symmetries in gravity, we study model spaces and their quantization from the viewpoint of constrained Hamiltonian systems. More precisely, we propose that a…

States of a quantum mechanical system are represented by rays in a complex Hilbert space. The space of rays has, naturally, the structure of a K\"ahler manifold. This leads to a geometrical formulation of the postulates of quantum mechanics…
