Matter-wave optics is often viewed as a linear analogue of photonics, where noninteracting particles are coherently split, diffracted, and recombined, and interference arises from single-particle coherence. In ultracold quantum gases,…

Optical energy flow inside a dielectric microsphere exposed to an optical wave is usually codirected with its wave vector. At the same time, if the optical field in a microparticle is in resonance with a high-quality spatial eigenmode,…
