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.

Towards the quantum of sound
A team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light led by Dr. Birgit Stiller has succeeded in cooling traveling sound waves in waveguides considerably further than has previously been possible using laser light. This achievement represents a significant move towards the…
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…
