Gouy phase and quantum interference with cross-Wigner functions for matter-waves

LS Marinho, PR Dieguez, CHS Vieira, IG da Paz - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
The Gouy phase is essential for accurately describing various wave phenomena, ranging
from classical electromagnetic waves to matter waves and quantum optics. In this work, we …

Squeezing and slowed quantum decoherence in the double-slit experiment

LS Marinho, IG Da Paz, M Sampaio - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
We study the slowing of the decoherence effect in the double-slit experiment by considering
an initially correlated Gaussian state. The effects of the decoherence are included in a …

Gouy phase in nonclassical paths in a triple-slit interference experiment

IG Da Paz, CHS Vieira, R Ducharme, LA Cabral… - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
We propose a simple model to study the Gouy phase effect in the triple-slit experiment in
which we consider a nonclassical path. The Gouy phase differs for classical and …

Quantum-to-classical transition measure of large molecule diffraction

LS Marinho, HAS Costa, M Sampaio… - Europhysics …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the quantum-to-classical transition induced by the loss of coherence in the double-
slit experiment with large molecules. We introduce the effects of loss of coherence by …

Poisson's spot and Gouy phase

IG da Paz, R Soldati, LA Cabral, JGG de Oliveira Jr… - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
Recently there have been experimental results on Poisson spot matter-wave interferometry
followed by theoretical models describing the relative importance of the wave and particle …

Fringe visibility of exotic trajectories for matter waves in a double-slit experiment

CHS Vieira, HAS Costa, G de Souza… - … Physics Letters A, 2019 - World Scientific
We theoretically study the fringe visibility of exotic looped trajectories in double-slit
experiments with matter waves. We consider the relative intensity at x= 0 as a function of the …

[KNJIGA][B] Singular atom optics via stimulated Raman interactions in Spinor Bose–Einstein condensates

JT Schultz - 2016 - search.proquest.com
Many singularities in nature are challenging to study because they are difficult to find or
create, thereby making the task of observing their evolution and interactions particularly …

Sorkin parameter for type-I spontaneous parametric down-conversion biphotons and matter waves

FCV De Brito, CHS Vieira, IG Da Paz, JB Araujo… - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
Type-I spontaneous parametric down-converted biphotons can be described approximately
by a double-Gaussian wave function in configuration space. Using an effective propagator in …

Biphoton phase-space correlations from Gouy-phase measurements using double slits

FCV de Brito, IG da Paz, JB Araujo, M Sampaio - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
Quantum correlations encoded in photonic Laguerre-Gaussian modes were shown to be
related to the Gouy-phase shifts [Kawase et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 050501 (2008) …
