TL;DR: A photonic device based on a high-finesse, whispering-gallery-mode disk resonator that can be used for the detection of biological pathogens and formulas are presented that allow the sensitivity of the device to be quantified and that show that, under optimum conditions, as few as 100 molecules can be detected.

TL;DR: In this article, Mirhosseini et al. demonstrate a scheme that is able to separate photons with different orbital angular angular momentum with 92% efficiency, which has the potential to increase data rates and enhance security in quantum optical communications.

TL;DR: A momentum-position realization of the EPR paradox is reported on using direct detection in the near and far fields of the photons emitted by collinear type-II phase-matched parametric down conversion to achieve a measured two-photon momentum- position variance product of 0.01 variant Planck's over 2pi (2).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a theoretical model that shows how stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is initiated by thermally excited acoustic waves distributed within a SBS-active medium, which predicts how the SBS reflectivity, Stokes linewidth, and fluctuations in Stokes intensity depend upon the laser intensity and upon the physical properties of the medium.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, even through moderate turbulence without active wavefront correction, high-dimensional photon states are advantageous for securely transmitting more information, opening the way for intracity high- dimensional quantum communications under realistic conditions.
