ADAPT for Science: A Multi-Agent System for Self-Evolving Scientific Optimization
Scientific discovery often requires identifying a small number of high-performing designs in vast, constrained search spaces.All-photonic millimeter-wave and terahertz signal core at room and cryogenic temperatures
Millimeter-wave and terahertz technologies offer new opportunities for high-capacity communications, sensing, and quantum systems, but electronic signal chains above 100 GHz are limited by weak…Entanglement certification of attosecond light fields with photoelectron interferometry
The emergence of entangled quantum optical states in high-harmonic generation raises a fundamental problem about its characterization, namely, \textit{how can entanglement of extreme-ultraviolet…Rank-One Loss Maximizes the Spectral Response Strength of Passive Full-Order Exceptional Points
We consider finite-dimensional non-Hermitian systems in which all modes coalesce at a single exceptional point.Predictive electronic feedback control for narrow-linewidth lasers
Narrow-linewidth lasers are essential for various key atom-laser interaction processes and optical setups in quantum coherent control, quantum precision measurement, and quantum information science.Nanopillar metasurfaces uniting high optical reflectivity with ultracoherent nanomechanics
Mechanically compliant mirrors are key components in cavity optomechanics.Photoelectrons resolve the phase-dependent variance of bright squeezed vacuum
The variance of bright squeezed vacuum (BSV) is not only strong but also phase dependent, yet recent strong-field experiments with BSV have recorded only its magnitude.Broadband Mid-Wave Infrared Imaging Enabled by All-Silicon Hyperboloid Metalens
The mid-wave infrared (MWIR, 3-5 microns) is indispensable for thermal sensing, gas detection, long-range imaging, and free-space optical communications.Phonon-assisted free-electron recoil control and mechanical sensing
Mechanical vibrations are fundamental to a wide range of physical phenomena and technologies, yet their ability to actively shape free-electron dynamics remains largely unexplored.Field demonstration of a self-contained 10 km mobile-to-ground quantum network node via common-aperture co-propagation
In this work, we demonstrate a dual-function, common-aperture free-space optical system that simultaneously supports decoy-state BB84 quantum key distribution (QKD) at 803 nm and bidirectional…Single-photon time qubit: Quantum-vacuum control and complementarity of the arrow of time
Treating the arrow of time as a controllable quantum variable rather than a fixed external parameter is a central challenge in quantum physics.Narrowband nonreciprocal transmission in a Doppler-broadened multilevel atomic system
We theoretically investigate narrowband nonreciprocal transmission in a Doppler-broadened five-level M-type atomic medium.Enhanced orbital-angular-momentum dimensionality and spatial-spectral decoupling in thin-film SPDC
Thin-film spontaneous parametric down-conversion, due to the relaxed phase-matching condition, generates photon pairs that are extremely broadband in frequency and angle and highly entangled in…Conditional Imaging for Privacy-Preserving Visual Sensing
Conventional visual sensing faces a fundamental dilemma: information that should remain private today may need to be recovered tomorrow.Measuring the Quantum Phase of Multiphoton Systems
The quantum phase of a multiparticle system has remained a long-standing mystery in quantum physics.LIDAR with Optically Amplified Thermal Light
Thermal light exhibits intensity fluctuations or photon bunching that has been used as a source of entropy or temporally correlated light.Allight: A Perfect Photon Collector
Collecting photons from quantum emitters remains a key limitation in light-matter interaction because conventional lenses collect light only from one direction.Controlling Optical Quantum Interference with Plasmonic Metasurfaces
The ability to efficiently control optical quantum interference by the same device is a challenging task that promises to enable key operations in quantum information processing.Multiplicative Noise in Nanolaser Amplification: From Discrete Emission Events to the Additive-Noise Limit
Laser amplification kicks off with just a few photons in the cavity, a regime where standard additive Langevin noise cannot capture the real fluctuations.Quantum-Correlation-Based Multi-Emitter Localization in Information-Limited Regimes via Learned Inference
Quantum correlation measurements have emerged as a powerful tool for localizing multiple emitters with subwavelength separation.
