text: We present a framework for the end-to-end optimization of metasurface imaging
systems that reconstruct targets using compressed sensing, a technique for solving
underdetermined imaging problems when the target object exhibits sparsity (i.e.
the object can be described by a small number of non-zero values, but the positions
of these values are unknown). We nest an iterative, unapproximated compressed
sensing reconstruction algorithm into our end-to-end optimization pipeline, resulting
in an interpretable, data-efficient method for maximally leveraging metaoptics
to exploit object sparsity. We apply our framework to super-resolution imaging
and high-resolution depth imaging with a phase-change material. In both situations,
our end-to-end framework computationally discovers optimal metasurface structures
for compressed sensing recovery, automatically balancing a number of complicated
design considerations to select an imaging measurement matrix from a complex,
physically constrained manifold with millions ofdimensions. The optimized metasurface
imaging systems are robust to noise, significantly improving over random scattering
surfaces and approaching the ideal compressed sensing performance of a Gaussian
matrix, showing how a physical metasurface system can demonstrably approach the
mathematical limits of compressed sensing.

text: 'The observation that free electrons can interact coherently with quantized
electromagnetic fields and matter systems has led to a plethora of proposals leveraging
the unique quantum properties of free electrons. At the heart of these proposals
lies the assumption of a strong quantum interaction between a flying free electron
and a photonic mode. However, existing schemes are intrinsically limited by electron
diffraction, which puts an upper bound on the interaction length and therefore
the quantum coupling strength. Here, we propose the use of "free-electron fibers'''':
effectively one-dimensional photonic systems where free electrons co-propagate
with two guided modes. The first mode applies a ponderomotive trap to the free
electron, effectively lifting the limitations due to electron diffraction. The
second mode strongly couples to the guided free electron, with an enhanced coupling
that is orders of magnitude larger than previous designs. Moreover, the extended
interaction lengths enabled by our scheme allows for strong single-photon nonlinearities
mediated by free electrons. We predict a few interesting observable quantum effects
in our system, such as deterministic single-photon emission and complex, nonlinear
multimode dynamics. Our proposal paves the way towards the realization of many
anticipated effects in free-electron quantum optics, such as non-Gaussian light
generation, deterministic single photon emission, and quantum gates controlled
by free-electron--photon interactions.'

text: Multimode squeezed light is enticing for several applications, from squeezed
frequency combs for spectroscopy to signal multiplexing in optical computing.
To generate squeezing in multiple frequency modes, optical parametric oscillators
have been vital in realizing multimode squeezed vacuum states through second-order
nonlinear processes. However, most work has focused on generating multimode squeezed
vacua and squeezing in mode superpositions (supermodes). Bright squeezing in multiple
discrete frequency modes, if realized, could unlock novel applications in quantum-enhanced
spectroscopy and optical quantum computing. Here, we show how $Q$ factor engineering
of a multimode nonlinear cavity with cascaded three wave mixing processes creates
strong, spectrally tunable single mode output amplitude noise squeezing over 10
dB below the shot noise limit. In addition, we demonstrate squeezing for multiple
discrete frequency modes above threshold. This bright squeezing arises from enhancement
of the (noiseless) nonlinear rate relative to decay rates in the system due to
the cascaded generation of photons in a single idler "bath" mode. A natural consequence
of the strong nonlinear coupling in our system is the creation of an effective
cavity in the synthetic frequency dimension that sustains Bloch oscillations in
the modal energy distribution. Bloch mode engineering could provide an opportunity
to better control nonlinear energy flow in the synthetic frequency dimension,
with exciting applications in quantum random walks and topological photonics.
Lastly, we show evidence of long-range correlations in amplitude noise between
discrete frequency modes, pointing towards the potential of long-range entanglement
in a synthetic frequency dimension.

text: Enhancing interactions in many-body quantum systems, while protecting them
from environmental decoherence, is at the heart of many quantum technologies.
Waveguide quantum electrodynamics is a promising platform for achieving this,
as it hosts infinite-range interactions and decoherence-free subspaces of quantum
emitters. However, as coherent interactions between emitters are typically washed
out in the wavelength-spacing regime hosting decoherence-free states, coherent
control over the latter becomes limited, and many-body Hamiltonians in this important
regime remain out of reach. Here we show that by incorporating emitter arrays
with nonlinear waveguides hosting parametric gain, we obtain a unique class of
many-body interaction Hamiltonians with coupling strengths that increase with
emitter spacing, and persist even for wavelength-spaced arrays. We then propose
to use these Hamiltonians to coherently generate decoherence-free states directly
from the ground state, using only global squeezing drives, without the need for
local addressing of individual emitters. Interestingly, we find that the dynamics
approaches a unitary evolution in the limit of weak intra-waveguide squeezing,
and discuss potential experimental realizations of this effect. Our results pave
the way towards coherent control protocols in waveguide quantum electrodynamics,
with applications including quantum computing, simulation, memory and nonclassical
light generation.

text: Optical computing often employs tailor-made hardware to implement specific
algorithms, trading generality for improved performance in key aspects like speed
and power efficiency. An important computing approach that is still missing its
corresponding optical hardware is probabilistic computing, used e.g. for solving
difficult combinatorial optimization problems. In this study, we propose an experimentally
viable photonic approach to solve arbitrary probabilistic computing problems.
Our method relies on the insight that coherent Ising machines composed of coupled
and biased optical parametric oscillators can emulate stochastic logic. We demonstrate
the feasibility of our approach by using numerical simulations equivalent to the
full density matrix formulation of coupled optical parametric oscillators.

text: This study focuses on advancing metascintillators to break the 100 ps barrier
and approach the 10 ps target. We exploit nanophotonic features, specifically
the Purcell effect, to shape and enhance the scintillation properties of the first-generation
metascintillator. We demonstrate that a faster emission is achievable along with
a more efficient conversion efficiency. This results in a coincidence time resolution
improved by a factor of 1.6, crucial for TOF-PET applications.

text: Nonlinear optics has become the workhorse for countless applications in classical
and quantum optics, from optical bistability to single photon pair generation.
However, the intrinsic weakness of optical nonlinearity has meant that large input
powers and weak output powers are often a necessity in nonlinear frequency conversion.
Here, motivated by recent advances in using non-Hermitian photonics and gain/loss
engineering to enable non-reciprocal light transport, we explore how the interplay
between non-Hermiticity and optical nonlinearity leads to a fundamentally new
regime of nonlinear frequency conversion. We show how non-Hermitian coupling between
discrete frequency modes can result in non-reciprocal flow of energy in the frequency
dimension, closely resembling the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE). Applying our
theory to a multimode nonlinear cavity supporting cascaded nonlinear processes,
we create an asymmetric infrared (IR) comb that features a ``skin'' frequency
mode populated with efficiency exceeding 85\%. Furthermore, we demonstrate how
three-wave mixing processes in the non-reciprocal infrared comb we generate enables
terahertz (THz) generation exceeding the Manley-Rowe limit. We then show how the
non-reciprocal frequency conversion is robust against cavity defects and disorder
that cause random fluctuations in the dissipation rate for different modes. Moreover,
in certain regimes, the nonlinear, non-Hermitian system supports stable limit
cycles that can enable multimode pulsing with picosecond pulse widths and GHz
repetition rates. Finally, we explore how the system can be applied to generate
simultaneous IR and THz frequency combs, potentially unlocking novel applications
in spectroscopy and metrology.

text: Scintillation describes the conversion of high-energy particles into light
in transparent media and finds diverse applications such as high-energy particle
detection and industrial and medical imaging. This process operates on multiple
timescales, with the final radiative step consisting of spontaneous emission,
which can be modeled within the framework of quasi-equilibrium fluctuational electrodynamics.
Scintillation can therefore be controlled and enhanced via nanophotonic effects,
which has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Such designs have thus
far obeyed Lorentz reciprocity, meaning there is a direct equivalence between
scintillation emission and absorption by the scintillator. However, scintillators
that do not obey Lorentz reciprocity have not been explored, even though they
represent a novel platform for probing emission which is both nonequilibrium and
nonreciprocal in nature. In this work, we propose to harness nonreciprocity to
achieve directional control of scintillation emission, granting an additional
degree of control over scintillation. Such directionality of light output is important
in improving collection efficiencies along the directions where detectors are
located. We present the design of a nonreciprocal scintillator using a one-dimensional
magnetophotonic crystal in the Voigt configuration. Our work demonstrates the
potential of controlling nonequilibrium emission such as scintillation by breaking
reciprocity and expands the space of nanophotonic design for achieving such control.

text: Metasurfaces -- ultrathin structures composed of subwavelength optical elements
-- have revolutionized light manipulation by enabling precise control over electromagnetic
waves' amplitude, phase, polarization, and spectral properties. Concurrently,
computational imaging leverages algorithms to reconstruct images from optically
processed signals, overcoming limitations of traditional imaging systems. This
review explores the synergistic integration of metaoptics and computational imaging,
"computational metaoptics," which combines the physical wavefront shaping ability
of metasurfaces with advanced computational algorithms to enhance imaging performance
beyond conventional limits. We discuss how computational metaoptics addresses
the inherent limitations of single-layer metasurfaces in achieving multifunctionality
without compromising efficiency. By treating metasurfaces as physical preconditioners
and co-designing them with reconstruction algorithms through end-to-end (inverse)
design, it is possible to jointly optimize the optical hardware and computational
software. This holistic approach allows for the automatic discovery of optimal
metasurface designs and reconstruction methods that significantly improve imaging
capabilities. Advanced applications enabled by computational metaoptics are highlighted,
including phase imaging and quantum state measurement, which benefit from the
metasurfaces' ability to manipulate complex light fields and the computational
algorithms' capacity to reconstruct high-dimensional information. We also examine
performance evaluation challenges, emphasizing the need for new metrics that account
for the combined optical and computational nature of these systems. Finally, we
identify new frontiers in computational metaoptics which point toward a future
where computational metaoptics may play a central role in advancing imaging science
and technology.

text: Many quantum systems exhibit high sensitivity to their initial conditions,
where microscopic quantum fluctuations can significantly influence macroscopic
observables. Understanding how quantum states may influence the behavior of nonlinear
dynamic systems may open new avenues in controlling light-matter interactions.
To explore this issue, we analyze the sensitivity of a fundamental quantum optical
process - parametric oscillation - to quantum initializations. Focusing on optical
parametric oscillators (OPOs), we demonstrate that the quantum statistics of arbitrary
initial states are imprinted in the early-stage dynamics and can persist in the
steady-state probabilities. We derive the "quantum sensitivity" of parametric
oscillators, linking the initial quantum state to the system's steady-state outcomes,
highlighting how losses and parametric gain govern the system's quantum sensitivity.
Moreover, we show that these findings extend beyond OPOs to a broader class of
nonlinear systems, including Josephson junction based superconducting circuits.
Our work opens the way to a new class of experiments that can test the sensitivity
of macroscopic systems to quantum initial conditions and offers a pathway for
controlling systems with quantum degrees of freedom.

text: Light-matter interaction with squeezed vacuum has received much interest for
the ability to enhance the native interaction strength between an atom and a photon
with a reservoir assumed to have an infinite bandwidth. Here, we study a model
of parametrically driven cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity QED) for enhancing
light-matter interaction while subjected to a finite-bandwidth squeezed vacuum
drive. Our method is capable of unveiling the effect of relative bandwidth as
well as squeezing required to observe the anticipated anti-crossing spectrum and
enhanced cooperativity without the ideal squeezed bath assumption. Furthermore,
we analyze the practicality of said models when including intrinsic photon loss
due to resonators imperfection. With these results, we outline the requirements
for experimentally implementing an effectively squeezed bath in solid-state platforms
such as InAs quantum dot cavity QED such that \textit{in situ} control and enhancement
of light-matter interaction could be realized.

text: Scintillation, the process of converting high-energy radiation to detectable
visible light, is pivotal in advanced technologies spanning from medical diagnostics
to fundamental scientific research. Despite significant advancements toward faster
and more efficient scintillators, there remains a fundamental limit arising from
the intrinsic properties of scintillating materials. The scintillation process
culminates in spontaneous emission of visible light, which is restricted in rate
by the oscillator strength of individual emission centers. Here, we observe a
novel collective emission phenomenon under X-ray excitation, breaking this limit
and accelerating the emission. Our observation reveals that strong interactions
between simultaneously excited coupled perovskite quantum dots can create collective
radioluminescence. This effect is characterized by a spectral shift and an enhanced
rate of emission, with an average lifetime of 230 ps, 14 times faster than their
room temperature spontaneous emission. It has been established that such quantum
dots exhibit superfluorescence under UV excitation. However, X-ray superfluorescence
is inherently different, as each high-energy photon creates multiple synchronized
excitation events, triggered by a photoelectron and resulting in even faster emission
rates, a larger spectral shift, and a broader spectrum. This observation is consistent
with a quantum-optical analysis explaining both the UV-driven and X-ray-driven
effects. We use a Hanbury-Brown-Twiss g^(2) (τ) setup to analyze the temperature-dependent
temporal response of these scintillators. Collective radioluminescence breaks
the limit of scintillation lifetime based on spontaneous emission and could dramatically
improve time-of-flight detector performance, introducing quantum enhancements
to scintillation science.

text: Light-responsive liquid crystal elastomer networks (LCNs) have received significant
interest due to their potential application in soft robotics and shape-morphing
devices. Here, we present a systematic examination of light-responsive LCNs prepared
using a catalyst-free Diels–Alder cycloaddition and a new azobenzene functionalized
monomer for main-chain incorporation. The networks have robust mechanical stiffness
that can be reversibly modulated by 1 GPa by turning the UV light on and off.
This study highlights the contribution of photothermal softening to reversibly
control rheological properties of the newly developed LCNs and demonstrates the
ability to tune the modulus on demand. We believe this work will guide future
developments of light-responsive LCNs based on the newly developed Diels–Alder
cycloaddition.

text: 'Ambidirectionality, which is the ability of structural elements to move beyond
a reference state in two opposite directions, is common in nature. However, conventional
soft materials are typically limited to a single, unidirectional deformation unless
complex hybrid constructs are used. We exploited the combination of mesogen self-assembly,
polymer chain elasticity, and polymerization-induced stress to design liquid crystalline
elastomers that exhibit two mesophases: chevron smectic C (cSmC) and smectic A
(SmA). Inducing the cSmC-SmA–isotropic phase transition led to an unusual inversion
of the strain field in the microstructure, resulting in opposite deformation modes
(e.g., consecutive shrinkage or expansion and right-handed or left-handed twisting
and tilting in opposite directions) and high-frequency nonmonotonic oscillations.
This ambidirectional movement is scalable and can be used to generate Gaussian
transformations at the macroscale.'

text: 'The HIRA histone chaperone complex is comprised of four protein subunits:
HIRA, UBN1, CABIN1, and transiently associated ASF1a. All four subunits have been
demonstrated to play a role in the deposition of the histone variant H3.3 onto
areas of actively transcribed euchromatin in cells. The mechanism by which these
subunits function together to drive histone deposition has remained poorly understood.
Here we present biochemical and biophysical data supporting a model whereby ASF1a
delivers histone H3.3/H4 dimers to the HIRA complex, H3.3/H4 tetramerization drives
the association of two HIRA/UBN1 complexes, and the affinity of the histones for
DNA drives release of ASF1a and subsequent histone deposition. These findings
have implications for understanding how other histone chaperone complexes may
mediate histone deposition.'
