Spatiotemporal photonic emulator of potential-free Schrödinger equation
Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CASPeer-Reviewed Publication
Recently, scientists in China experimentally realized a class of three-dimensional spatiotemporal wavepackets with spherical harmonic symmetry. This achievement is made by exploiting the mathematical analogy between the paraxial wave equation for spatiotemporal optical fields and the potential-free Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics, utilizing their self-developed spatiotemporal light field modulation apparatus. Such spherically symmetric spatiotemporal light fields show promising potential for applications in photonic quantum emulator and particle manipulation, among other fields.
