Contemporary societies are often "polarized", in the sense that sub-groups within these societies hold stably opposing beliefs, even when there is a fact of the matter.

Characterizing maser polarization: effects of saturation, anisotropic pumping and hyperfine structure [PDF]
The polarization of masers contains information on the magnetic field strength and direction of the regions they occur in. Many maser polarization observations have been performed over the last 30 years.

Two-Dimensional Quasi-Periodic Diffraction Properties of the Scalar and Vector Optical Fields
As is known, quasi-periodicity attracts great attention in many scientific regions. For instance, the discovery of the quasicrystal was rewarded the Nobel Prize in 2011, leading to a series of its applications.

Phase encoding in quantum key distribution (QKD) enables long-distance information-theoretic secure communication in optical fibers. We present a novel theoretical model characterizing errors from various sources in practical phase encoding-based QKD ...

Transverse spin angular momentum (SAM) of photon, also known as ‘photonic wheel’, has attracted much attention, owing to its extraordinary properties and broad application prospect. Thus, it is essential to flexibly manipulate the transverse SAM in order

Spatial and temporal coherence via polarization mutual coherence function [PDF]
We address polarization coherence in terms of correlations of Stokes variables. We develop an scalar polarization mutual coherence function that allows us to define a polarization coherence time. We find a suitable spectral polarization density allowing a polarization version of the Wiener-Khintchine theorem.

Polarity Inversion in Polar-Nonpolar-Polar Heterostructures [PDF]
We have observed an epilayer-thickness-dependent polarity inversion for the growth of CdTe on Sb(Bi)/CdTe(111)B. For films with Sb(Bi) thicknesses of less than 40 A (15 A), the CdTe layer shows a B (Te-terminated) face, but it switches to an A (Cd-terminated) face for thicker layers.

Non-Markovian speedup evolution of a center massive particle in two-dimensional environmental model
A two-dimensional ray model is introduced to realize the non-Markovian speedup evolution of a center massive particle gravitationally coupled to a controllable environment (multilayer arrangement of the massive particles). By controlling the environment,

In histopathology, doctors identify diseases by characterizing abnormal cells and their spatial organization within tissues. Polarization microscopy and supervised learning have been proved as an effective tool for extracting polarization parameters to ...
