New paper on the arxiv: frequency conversion of orbital angular momentum modes with acoustic vortices
Acoustic waves with a topological order unequal to 0 enable the conversion of optical orbital angular momentum modes from 1550nm to almost 1610nm. This is the first demonstration of optics interacting with stably propagating structured acoustic modes. The paper can be found here.

Auf dem Weg zum Quantum des Schalls
Einem Team von Wissenschaftler*innen des Max-Planck-Instituts für die Physik des Lichts unter der Leitung von Dr. Birgit Stiller ist es gelungen, wandernde Schallwellen in Wellenleitern wesentlich stärker abzukühlen, als dies bisher mit Laserlicht möglich war. Damit sind sie dem Ziel, den…
New paper in Optica Quantum
Detecting an eavesdropper in a quantum channel is essential in a quantum key distribution system. Sender Alice and receiver Bob (or all other involved personalities and end points) can rely on very high standards of security proofs to make a quantum channel nearly entirely secure. However, if an…
