Low-loss, fabrication-tolerant, and highly-tunable Sagnac loop reflectors and Fabry-P\'erot cavities on thin-film lithium niobate

We present low-loss ($<1.5\%$) and power-efficient Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) on thin-film lithium niobate. To accurately measure low MZI losses, we develop a self-calibrated method using tunable Sagnac loop reflectors (SLRs) to build cavities. Fabry-P\'erot cavities constructed from these fabrication-tolerant SLRs achieve an intrinsic quality factor of $2 \times 10^6$. By implementing thermal isolation trenches, we also demonstrate a $>10\times$ reduction in power consumption for thermo-optic phase shifters, achieving a $\pi$-phase shift ($P_\pi$) with just 2.5 mW. These tunable and efficient components are key for scaling up to complex photonic integrated circuits.

Effective information processing with pure braid group formalism in view of 2D holographic principle for information

The so-called holographic principle, originally addressed to the high energy physics, suggests more generally that the information inseparatly bounded with a physical carrier (measured by its entropy) scales as the event horizon surface---a two-dimensional object. In this paper we present an idea of representing classical information in formalism of pure braid groups, characterized by an exceptionally rich structure for two-dimensional spaces. This leads to some interesting properties, e.g. information geometrization, multi-character alphabets energetic efficiency for information coding characteristic or a group structure decoding scheme. We also proved that proposed pure braid group approach meets all the conditions for storing and processing of information.
