The photonic spin Hall effect (SHE) refers to the transverse spin separation of photons with
opposite spin angular momentum, after the beam passes through an optical interface or …

With the development of photonic quantum technologies, single photons have become key
for various applications including quantum communication and quantum computing …

Tunnelling is one of the most characteristic phenomena of quantum physics, underlying
processes such as photosynthesis and nuclear fusion, as well as devices ranging from …

Controlling the group velocity of an optical pulse typically requires traversing a material or
structure whose dispersion is judiciously crafted. Alternatively, the group velocity can be …

The tunnelling of a particle through a barrier is one of the most fundamental and ubiquitous
quantum processes. When induced by an intense laser field, electron tunnelling from atoms …

Einstein's theory of special relativity and the principle of causality,,, imply that the speed of
any moving object cannot exceed that of light in a vacuum (c). Nevertheless, there exist …

Nanophotonics is where photonics merges with nanoscience and nanotechnology, and
where spatial confinement considerably modifies light propagation and light-matter …

Over sixty years ago, it was suggested that there is a time associated with the passage of a
particle under a tunneling barrier. The existence of such a time is now well accepted; in fact …

The book provides a comprehensive presentation of the topic of phononic and sonic
crystals, including acoustic and elastic wave propagation in homogeneous and periodic …

The question of how long a tunneling particle spends inside the barrier region has remained
unresolved since the early days of quantum mechanics. The main theoretical contenders …
