Tangles of loops which approximate an aspect of the Kerr-Newman black hole metrics at large scales compared to the Planck length are constructed. The physical aspect the tangles approximate is discussed. This construction may be useful in…
Spatial and/or temporal propagation of light waves in periodic optical structures offers a rather unique possibility to realize in a purely classical setting the optical analogues of a wide variety of quantum phenomena rooted in…
We explore in this paper some orthogonal polynomials which are naturally associated to certain families of coherent states, often referred to as nonlinear coherent states in the quantum optics literature. Some examples turn out to be known…
In this work we examine refraction of light by computing full solutions to axion electrodynamics. We also allow for the possibility of an additional plasma component. We then specialise to wavelengths which are small compared to background…
We compare the predictions of the fundamentally motivated minimal coupling ($\hat{\boldsymbol{p}}\cdot\hat{\boldsymbol{A}}$) and the ubiquitous dipole coupling ($\hat{\boldsymbol{x}}\cdot\hat{\boldsymbol{E}}$) in the light-matter…
The magneto-optical effect breaks time-reversal symmetry, a unique property that makes it indispensable in nonreciprocal optics and topological photonics. Unfortunately, all natural materials have a rather weak magneto-optical response in…
The teleparallel formulation of gravity theories reveals close structural analogies to electrodynamics, which are more hidden in their usual formulation in terms of the curvature of spacetime. We show how every locally Lorentz invariant…
The photon model of light has been known for decades to be self-inconsistent and controversial theory with numerous intrinsic conflicts. This paper revises the model and explores its applicability for description of classical…
Analogue physics has successfully tackled the problems of chromodynamics, event horizons, Big Bang and Universe expansion, and many others. Here, we suggest a photonic model system for a "time machine" based on the paraxial beam…
An optical shutter based on charged particles is presented. The output light intensity of the proposed device has an intrinsic dependence on the interparticle spacing between charged particles, which can be controlled by varying voltages…
The Maxwell equations in the presence of sources are first derived without making use of the potentials and the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for classical electrodynamics is written down. The manifestly gauge invariant theory is then quantized…
This thesis is mainly devoted to the study of the quantum properties of optical parametric oscillators (OPOs), which are nowadays the sources of the highest-quality quantum-correlated light, apart from fundamental tools in the…
It is shown that the geometrical optics limit of the Maxwell equations for certain nonlinear media with slow variation along one axis and particular dependence of dielectric constant on the frequency and fields gives rise to the…
Much of the richness in nature arises due to the connection between classical and quantum mechanics. In advanced science, the tools of quantum mechanics was not only applied in microscopic description but also found its efficacy in…
We report on the simultaneous determination of complementary wave and particle aspects of light in a double-slit type "welcher-weg" experiment beyond the limitations set by Bohr's Principle of Complementarity. Applying classical logic, we…
I present a simple view of nonlinear optcal phenomena as being determined mostly by the length of interaction time between photons and matter. This may explain why in the last decades the progress in developing better nonlinear materials…
Nonmagnetic and spherically symmetric dielectric material media are investigated in their generality as analogue models, in the domains of geometrical optics, for a few relevant static and spherically symmetric solutions of gravitation,…
Modern physics is based on three major theories - general relativity, quantum field theory, and (quantum) thermodynamics. Classical acoustics in fluids is usually regarded and studied as a part of classical mechanics, more precisely fluid…
The analogs of optical elements in light-pulse atom interferometers are generated from the interaction of matter waves with light fields. As such, these fields possess quantum properties, which fundamentally lead to a reduced visibility in…
Quantum mechanics of bending of a nonrelativistic monoenergetic charged particle beam by a dipole magnet is studied in the paraxial approximation. The transfer map for the position and momentum components of a particle of the beam between…
