Abstract

The Emerging Connections: Quantum & Classical Optics Incubator was a scientific meeting held in Washington, DC on 6-8 November 2016. This Incubator provided unique and focused experiences and valuable opportunities to discuss advances, challenges and opportunities regarding this important area of research. Quantum optics and classical optics have coexisted for nearly a century as two distinct, but consistent descriptions of light in their respective domains. Recently, a number of detailed examinations of the structure of classical light beams have revealed that effects widely thought to be solely quantum in origin also have a place in classical optics. These new quantum-classical connections are informing classical optics in meaningful ways specifically by expanding understanding of optical coherence. Simultaneously, relationships discovered with classical light beams now also serve as a vehicle to illuminate concepts that no longer solely belong to the quantum realm. Interference, polarization, coherence, complementarity and entanglement are a partial list of elementary notions that now appear to belong to both quantum and classical optics. The goal of this meeting was to bring emerging quantum-classical links into wider view and to indicate directions in which forthcoming and future work would promote discussion and lead to a more unified understanding of optics.

Challenges at the Frontiers of Matter and Energy: Transformative Opportunities for Discovery Science

Program Document Hemminger, John; Sarrao, John; Crabtree, George; ...

FIVE TRANSFORMATIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR DISCOVERY SCIENCE As a result of this effort, it has become clear that the progress made to date on the five Grand Challenges has created a springboard for seizing five new Transformative Opportunities that have the potential to further transform key technologies involving matter and energy. These five new Transformative Opportunities and the evidence supporting them are discussed in this new report, “Challenges at the Frontiers of Matter and Energy: Transformative Opportunities for Discovery Science.” Mastering Hierarchical Architectures and Beyond-Equilibrium Matter Complex materials and chemical processes transmute matter and energy, for example from CO2 and watermore »« less

Spin-selective photocatalysis and quantum transport using ab initio density-matrix dynamics

Technical Report Ping, Yuan; Sundararaman, Ravishankar

Spin-selective photocatalysis and quantum transport using ab initio density-matrix dynamics Yuan Ping, University of California, Santa Cruz Ravishankar Sundararaman, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute The capability to control chemical reactions using the spin of electrons, in the rapidly emerging field of “Spin Chemistry”, provides exciting opportunities to produce desired molecules and solids with high selectivity and enhance the energy efficiency of chemical synthesis. Simultaneously, the increased focus on manipulating spin in materials for quantum information is leading to advanced techniques for precise spin control, which can further advance the potential of spin-dependent catalysis. Realizing the promise of spin chemistry now requires amore »« less

The 2022 magneto-optics roadmap

Journal Article Kimel, Alexey; Zvezdin, Anatoly; Sharma, Sangeeta; ... - Journal of Physics. D, Applied Physics

Abstract Magneto-optical (MO) effects, viz. magnetically induced changes in light intensity or polarization upon reflection from or transmission through a magnetic sample, were discovered over a century and a half ago. Initially they played a crucially relevant role in unveiling the fundamentals of electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. A more broad-based relevance and wide-spread use of MO methods, however, remained quite limited until the 1960s due to a lack of suitable, reliable and easy-to-operate light sources. The advent of Laser technology and the availability of other novel light sources led to an enormous expansion of MO measurement techniques and applications thatmore »« less

The pion: an enigma within the Standard Model

Journal Article Horn, Tanja; Roberts, Craig - Journal of Physics. G, Nuclear and Particle Physics

Quantum chromodynamics (QCDs) is the strongly interacting part of the Standard Model. It is supposed to describe all of nuclear physics; and yet, almost 50 years after the discovery of gluons and quarks, we are only just beginning to understand how QCD builds the basic bricks for nuclei: neutrons and protons, and the pions that bind them together. QCD is characterised by two emergent phenomena: confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB). They have far-reaching consequences, expressed with great force in the character of the pion; and pion properties, in turn, suggest that confinement and DCSB are intimately connected. Indeed,more »« less

Focusing Hard X-rays at Current and Future Light Sources for Microscopy and High-Power Applications

Technical Report Bionta, R

The field of x-ray optics struggles to develop optical systems with the versatility and sophistication of their visible light counterparts. The advent of fourth-generation light sources will make the struggle even more difficult. Fourth-generation light sources include laser/plasma sources, x-ray Free Electron Lasers (FEL), inverse Compton scattering sources, and the National Ignition Facility. LCLS, (Linac Coherent Light Source), and its European cousin, will be the first of the x-ray FELs. The LCLS, to be built at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), takes advantage of the existing SLAC linear accelerator to send intense, low emittance electron bunches through a 100more »« less
