Low-order nonlinear phase gates allow the construction of versatile higher-order nonlinearities for bosonic systems and grant access to continuous variable quantum simulations of many unexplored ...

(Phys.org)—A team of physicists in Israel has succeeded in generating an electron Airy beam for the first time. As they describe in their paper published in the journal Nature, the researchers used a ...

The ability to precisely focus optical beams is crucial for numerous applications, including imaging. The slow intensity transitions of conventional Gaussian beams near the focal point limit their ...

For decades, physicists have known that quantum theory allows for wavelike objects to follow curved trajectories known as Airy functions, after the 19th-century British astronomer George Biddell Airy.
