The spin Hall effect (SHE) of light, as an analogue of the SHE in electronic systems, is a
promising candidate for investigating the SHE in semiconductor spintronics/valleytronics …

We review basic physics and novel types of optical angular momentum. We start with a
theoretical overview of momentum and angular momentum properties of generic optical …

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

Momentum and spin represent fundamental dynamic properties of quantum particles and
fields. In particular, propagating optical waves (photons) carry momentum and longitudinal …

Since its introduction 25 years ago, the quantum weak value has gradually transitioned from
a theoretical curiosity to a practical laboratory tool. While its utility is apparent in the recent …

Surface plasmon polaritons can confine electromagnetic fields in subwavelength spaces
and are of interest for photonics, optical data storage devices and biosensing applications …

The dual symmetry between electric and magnetic fields is an important intrinsic property of
Maxwell equations in free space. This symmetry underlies the conservation of optical helicity …

Provides fully updated coverage of new experiments in quantum optics This fully revised
and expanded edition of a well-established textbook on experiments on quantum optics …

We analyze the interference field formed by two electromagnetic plane waves (with the
same frequency but different wave vectors), and find that such a field reveals a rich and …

This book is both apparently ambitious and modest in its aims. Ambitious, as it attempts to
achieve something that has been declared impossible by some of the greatest physicists …
