Coupling between light and material excitations underlies a wide range of optical phenomena. Polaritons are eigenstates of a coupled system with hybridized wave function. Owing to their hybrid composition, polaritons exhibit at the same…
Chiral discrimination that is efficient to tiny amounts of chiral substances, especially at the single-molecule level, is highly demanded. Here, we propose a single-shot nondestructive quantum sensing method addressing such an issue. Our…
A light beam changes direction as it enters a liquid at an angle from another medium, such as air. Should the liquid contain molecules that lack mirror symmetry, then it has been predicted by Fresnel that the light beam will not only change…
