The gravitational Faraday and its dual spin-Hall effects of light arise in space-times of non-zero angular momentum. These effects were studied in stationary, asymptotically flat space-times. Here we study these effects in arbitrary,…
Is gravity quantum mechanical? If so, we argue that nonlinear effects in black hole ringdowns - notably second harmonic generation - generates gravitational waves in non-classical states. While quantum features of these states such as…
To fully appreciate the impacts that the discovery of the quantum Hall effect had on electrical metrology, it may benefit the reader to cultivate a general understanding of the phenomenon. Two-dimensional electron systems can exhibit many…
We consider the time delay of interfering single photons oppositely traveling in the Kerr metric of a rotating massive object. Classically, the time delay shows up as a phase difference between coherent sources of light. In quantum…
I argue that the linearity of quantum mechanics is an emergent feature at the Planck scale, along with the manifold structure of space-time. In this regime the usual causality violation objections to nonlinearity do not apply, and nonlinear…
In recent years, the investigation of nonlinear electromagnetic responses has received significant attention due to its potential for elucidating the quantum properties of matter. Although remarkable progress has been achieved in developing…
We formulate quantum mechanics in spacetimes with real-order fractional geometry and more general factorizable measures. In spacetimes where coordinates and momenta span the whole real line, Heisenberg's principle is proven and the…
Non-Hermitian descriptions often model open or driven systems away from the equilibrium. Nonetheless, in equilibrium electronic systems, a non-Hermitian nature of an effective Hamiltonian manifests itself as unconventional observables such…
Quantization of the nonlinear supersymmetry faces a problem of a quantum anomaly. For some classes of superpotentials, the integrals of motion admit the corrections guaranteeing the preservation of the nonlinear supersymmetry at the quantum…
Quantum gravity places entirely new challenges on the formulation of a consistent theory as well as on an extraction of potentially observable effects. Quantum corrections due to the gravitational field are commonly expected to be tiny…
Quantum mechanics is sensitive to the geometry of the underlying space. Here, we present a framework for quantum scattering of a non-relativistic particle confined to a two-dimensional space. When the motion manifold hosts localized…
The purpose of quantum technologies is to explore how quantum effects can improve on existing solutions for the treatment of information. Quantum photonics sensing holds great promises for reaching a more efficient trade-off between…
Photocurrent acts as one of measurable responses of material to light, which has proved itself to be crucial for sensing and energy harvesting. Topological semimetals with gapless energy dispersion and abundant topological surface and bulk…
The effects of physical interactions are usually incorporated into the quantum theory by including the corresponding terms in the Hamiltonian. Here we consider the effects of including the gravitational potential energy of massive particles…
Backaction evasion measurements of a quadrature component of the light field vacuum necessarily induce quantum jumps in the photon number. The correlation between measurement results and quantum jump events reveals fundamental nonclassical…
Geometric phases in quantum mechanics play an extraordinary role in broadening our understanding of fundamental significance of geometry in nature. One of the best known examples is the Berry phase (M.V. Berry (1984), Proc. Royal. Soc.…
We derive the full linear-response theory for non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics in the long wavelength limit, show quantum modifications of the well-known Maxwell's equation in matter and provide a practical framework to solve the…
Based on quantum field theory, we formulate the Wigner function and quantum kinetic theory for polarized photons in curved spacetimes which admit a covariantly constant timelike vector. From this framework, the photonic chiral/zilch…
The fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect refers to the strongly-correlated phenomena and the associated quantum phases of matter realized in a two-dimensional gas of electrons placed in a large perpendicular magnetic field. In such systems,…
The usual concepts of topological physics, such as the Berry curvature, cannot be applied directly to non-Hermitian systems. We show that another object, the quantum metric, which often plays a secondary role in Hermitian systems, becomes a…
