Molecular aggregates are abundant in nature; they form spontaneously in concentrated
solutions and on surfaces and can be synthesized by supramolecular chemistry techniques …

Conventional nonlinear spectroscopy uses classical light to detect matter properties through
the variation of its response with frequencies or time delays. Quantum light opens up new …

Second-order nonlinear optical processes lie at the heart of many applications in both
classical and quantum regimes,–. Inversion symmetry, however, rules out the second-order …

Chiral interactions are prevalent in nature, driving a variety of biochemical processes.
Discerning the two non-superimposable mirror images of a chiral molecule, known as …

The impact of optical forces in the physical and biological sciences now enables the
manipulation of objects ranging in size from a cell down to a single atom. The mechanical …

This paper develops, in precise quantum electrodynamic terms, photonic attributes of the
“optical chirality density,” one of several measures long known to be conserved quantities for …

The manipulation of matter with electromagnetic radiation is a capacity that has been known
for over a century. However, the prominence of such optical effects only grew rapidly …

This work reports on the first computational quantum-chemistry implementation of the hyper-
Rayleigh scattering optical activity (HRS-OA), a nonlinear chiroptical phenomenon. First …

To properly represent the interplay and coupling of optical and material chirality at the
photon-molecule or photon-nanoparticle level invites a recognition of quantum facets in the …

We examine the possibility that optical vortices should offer a controllable specificity in their
interactions with chiral matter, associated with orbital angular momentum transfer. By explicit …
