Coherent states of the Laguerre-Gauss modes

Large quantum photonic systems hold promise for surpassing classical computational limits, yet their state preparation remains a challenge. We propose an alternative approach to study multiparticle dynamics by mapping the excitation mode of these systems to physical properties of the Laguerre-Gauss modes. We construct coherent states establishing a direct link between excitation number dynamics and the evolution of the Laguerre-Gauss mode. This highlights the photon transverse spatial degree of freedom as a versatile platform for testing fundamental aspects of quantum multiparticle systems.

Harmonic motion modes in parabolic GRIN fibers

We report electromagnetic field modes solving the inhomogeneous Maxwell equations for parabolic gradient index fibers in the low refractive index contrast approximation. The first family comprises accelerating fields characterized by an intensity distribution center tracing a circular trajectory transverse to the fiber optical axis. These fields maintain an invariant shape for both their intensity and phase distributions while rotating around their center. The second family comprises breathing fields characterized by an intensity distribution center aligned with the fiber optical axis. These fields exhibit intensity distribution scaling along propagation, while their phase swirls and rotates around the optical axis without changing their intensity distribution shape and topological charge.
