Tunable single emitter-cavity coupling strength through waveguide-assisted energy quantum transfer
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A new concept termed waveguide-assisted energy quantum transfer (WEQT) is presented to improve the single emitter-cavity coupling strength by extending the interaction cross-section. Multiple ancillary emitters are optically connected by a waveguide, providing an indirect coupling channel to collect and transfer the energy quantum from target emitter to cavity. An enhancement factor >10 can be easily achieved. A photon gate with controlling bits is designed to reveal the new degrees of freedom offered by WEQT.

Arbitrarily rotating polarization direction and manipulating phases in linear and nonlinear ways using programmable metasurface
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Independent controls of various properties of electromagnetic (EM) waves are crucially required in a wide range of applications. Towards this goal, scientists in China proposed the concept and general theory of space-time-polarization-coding (STPC) metasurface, which adds the functionality of arbitrarily controlling polarization direction compared to space-time-coding (STC) metasurfaces. The proposed approach has a wide range of applications in various areas, such as imaging, data storage, and wireless communication.
