Quantum simulation of bosonic-fermionic non-interacting particles in disordered systems via quantum walk
We report on the theoretical analysis of bosonic and fermionic
non-interacting systems in a discrete two-particle quantum walk affected by
different kinds of disorder. We considered up to 100-step QWs with a spatial,
temporal and space-temporal disorder observing how the randomness and the
wavefunction symmetry non-trivially affect the final spatial probability
distribution, the transport properties and the Shannon entropy of the walkers.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Single Photon Manipulation
This short book aims to present basic information about single photons in a quick read but with not many details. For this purpose, it only introduces the basic concept of single photons, the most important method of generating single photons in experiments, and a specific emerging field
Photonic Entanglement for Fundamental Tests and Quantum Communication
Entanglement is at the heart of fundamental tests of quantum mechanics like
tests of Bell-inequalities and, as discovered lately, of quantum computation
and communication. Their technological advance made entangled photons play an
outstanding role in entanglement physics. We give a generalized concept of
qubit entanglement and review the state of the art of photonic experiments.Comment: 54 pages, 33 figures. Review article submitted to QIC (Rinton
Steering line waves at a dual metasurface for optical applications
Line waves are defined as confined edge modes propagating at the interface of
dual electromagnetic metasurfaces that preserve mirror reflection symmetries.
Previous works have theoretically and practically explored these waves, showing
that they occur at microwave regimes and terahertz ranges. It is also
demonstrated that line waves can happen when there is a symmetric resistance
discontinuity from negative to positive values and a uniform surface reactance.
Line waves are of tunable mode confinement, direction-dependent polarizations,
and singular field enhancement. This study presents a graphene patch design and
demonstrates that the line waves associated with this structure can travel in
the optical domain. Our design consists of a graphene metasurface on an epsilon
near zero (ENZ) substrate. While our approach considers both dual reactive
impedances and homogenous reactive ones, we only concentrate on line wave
utilization in a dual-impedance structure
