We report on the experimental realization of a uniform synthetic magnetic flux and the
observation of Aharonov-Bohm cages in photonic lattices. Considering a rhombic array of …

We suggest a method for trap** photons in quasi-one-dimensional waveguide or coupled-
resonator lattices, which is based on an optical analogue of the Aharonov–Bohm cages for …

Abstract The Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect was convincingly demonstrated using a micro-
sized toroidal magnet but it is almost always explained using an infinitely-long solenoid or …

Classical electrodynamics is a local theory describing local interactions between charges
and electromagnetic fields and therefore one would not expect that this theory could predict …

Time-delayed intensity–interferometry (TDII) measurements of the fluorescent emission from
an ultracold ensemble of thermal 87 Rb atoms in a steady-state magneto-optical trap are …

Pancharatnam's experimental findings on amplitude interferometry of polarized light during
1950's was an early example of the Berry phase. But a similar experimental realization of the …

We demonstrate a method of obtaining, from coherent light, tunable classical light where the
temporal characteristics and photon number distribution can be controlled electronically …

Here the notion of geometric phase acquired by an electron in a one-dimensional periodic
lattice as it traverses the Bloch band is carefully studied. Such a geometric phase is useful in …

Three decades ago, in a celebrated work, Zak found an expression for the geometric phase
acquired by an electron in a one-dimensional periodic lattice as it traverses the Bloch band …

Rapid and fine control over the phase of light is demonstrated by transferring digitally
generated phase jumps from radio-frequency electrical signals onto light by means of …
