Nonlocal metasurfaces enable quantum phase-gradient imaging
—
in Optics
What the study found The study found that a compact quantum phase-gradient imaging system can use two metasurfaces to both generate and analyze quantum light for phase imaging. The system combined a lithium niobate (LiNbO3) metasurface, used to generate spatially entangled photon pairs, with a silicon (Si) metasurface, used to extract phase gradients. Why the…
Lorentz violation changes black hole disk images and polarization

in Astrophysics
Observable signatures of Lorentz violation in Hořava gravity revealed through black hole accretion disk images and polarization patterns, testable with future Event Horizon Telescope observations.
Coherently driven B centres in hBN emit indistinguishable photons
