Quantum computing and on-chip quantum information processing are rapidly advancing fields with the potential to revolutionize traditional computation and communication. However, integrating quantum ...
The incident light can be split into three independent beams, each with different properties -- a conventional beam (right), a beam known as a Bessel beam (center) and an optical vortex (left).
The quest for a real life tractor beam continues, with a 2-micrometer-thick silicon light bender. The silicon metasurface changes a solid beam into a triple spiral one that can pick up particles.
