Journal ArticleDOI

Secure information capacity of photons entangled in many dimensions

TL;DR: It is found that there is is an optimal dimension that maximizes the secure information capacity whose value can be predicted analytically from the knowledge of only a few experimental parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Equivalence of interaction hamiltonians in the electric dipole approximation

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the atomic states can be described by wavefunctions calculated in the absence of an electromagnetic field when using the d · E (but not the p · A) form of the interaction Hamiltonian.

Ring or disk resonator photonic biosensor and its use

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a biosensor system that includes a first optical waveguide optically coupled to a light source, a first ring or disk resonator optically coupling to the first waveguide, and a monitoring system that signals the presence of a biological material based on a detected change in one or more transfer characteristics of the first ring/disk resonator.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of nanoscale magnetic fields using twisted electron beams.

TL;DR: This finding demonstrates that full reconstruction of all three components of nanoscale magnetic fields is possible without tilting the specimen and implements a recently developed holographic technique to manipulate the electron wavefunction, which gives free electrons an additional unbounded quantized magnetic moment along their propagation direction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dramatically improved transmission of ultrashort solitons through 40 km of dispersion-decreasing fiber.

TL;DR: For a wide range of input powers, the output pulse widths of the dispersion-decreasing fiber are found to be as short as the input pulse widthS, whereas the output pulses of the constant-dispersion fiber are significantly larger.
