In this work, we theoretically study two-mode bipartite states, which are extracted from multimode light generated via type-II parametric downconversion (PDC) in lossy waveguides. For these states, we demonstrate that the squeezing quantifies entanglement and we construct a measurement basis, which results in the maximal bipartite entanglement. We illustrate our findings by numerically solving the spatial master equation for PDC in a Markovian environment. The optimal measurement modes are compared with two widely used broadband bases: the Mercer–Wolf basis (the first-order coherence basis) and the Williamson–Euler basis.</jats:p>}},

The chemical and electronic properties of AlInP (001) depend on its surface reconstruction, which impacts its interaction with electrolytes in PEC applications and passivation layers. This study investigates AlInP (001) surface reconstructions using density functional theory and experimental methods. Phosphorus‐rich (P‐rich) and indium‐rich (In‐rich) AlInP surfaces are prepared with in situ monitoring of the process by reflection anisotropy (RA) spectroscopy and confirmed by low‐energy electron diffraction and photoemission spectroscopy. The experimental RA spectra closely match the theoretical predictions obtained by solving the Bethe–Salpeter equation. It is shown that missing hydrogen on P‐rich surfaces and formation of In–In 1D atomic chains on In‐rich surfaces introduce mid‐gap surface states that pin the Fermi level and induce band bending. Time‐resolved two‐photon photoemission measurements reveal ultrafast near‐surface electron dynamics for both P‐rich and In‐rich surfaces, demonstrating photoexcited electrons reaching the surface conduction band minimum and relaxing to mid‐gap surface states on about hundreds of fs. This work provides the most extensive AlInP surface analysis to date, allowing for more targeted surface and interface engineering, which is crucial for the optimization and design of III‐V heterostructures.</jats:p>}},

Comparison with a kinetic model reveals the voltage (energy) dependent phonon coupling strength and fully explains the interplay between phonon-assisted relaxation and radiative recombination. The resonances and antiresonances enable further tunability of the exciton lifetime which can be leveraged to increase the lifetime of energetically unfavorable charge configurations needed for realizing efficient spin-photon interfaces and multidimensional cluster states.

While well established in GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs, this approach does not yield emission in the telecom bands required for low loss fiber-based quantum communication. To achieve emission at 1.55 μm, local droplet etching must be adapted to alternative material platforms such as InP. Here, we systematically investigate how the etching material deposition rate and etching time influence nanohole morphology in In0.52Al0.48As layers lattice-matched to InP. In the first experiment, InAl was deposited at fluxes of 0.2–4.0 Å s−1 at Tetch = 350 °C and 460 °C. Lower fluxes produced nanoholes with lower density and larger ring diameters, indicating fewer and larger initial droplets, consistent with scaling theory. The average nanohole diameter decreased monotonically with increasing flux, whereas the average depth showed no clear dependence on flux. In the second experiment, etching times of 30–600 s were tested for InAl, In, and Al droplets. Average nanohole diameters remained constant for Al across all etching times, but decreased for In and InAl with increasing etching time, suggesting sidewall redeposition during etching. For all droplet types, depths peaked at intermediate times and decreased for prolonged etching, consistent with material diffusion into the nanohole after droplet consumption.</jats:p>}},

In this work, we extend the proof and present a detailed derivation of Miller's rule for an equivalent quantum-mechanical anharmonic oscillator. For this purpose, the classical concept of velocity-dependent damping inherent to the Lorentz model is replaced by an adiabatic switch-on of the external electric field, which allows a unified treatment of the classical and quantum-mechanical systems using identical potentials and fields. Although the dynamics of the resulting charge oscillations, and hence the induced polarizations, deviate due to the finite zero-point motion in the quantum-mechanical framework, we find that Miller's rule is nevertheless identical in both cases up to terms of first order in the anharmonicity. With a view to practical applications, especially in the context of ab initio calculations for the optical response where adiabatically switched-on fields are widely assumed, we demonstrate that a correct treatment of finite broadening parameters is essential to avoid spurious errors that may falsely suggest a violation of Miller's rule, and we illustrate this point by means of a numerical example.}},

However, the tunneling dynamics in solids, especially nonadiabatic tunneling, has not yet been fully understood. Here, we study the sub-cycle resolved strong-field tunneling dynamics in solids via a complex saddle-point method. We compare the instantaneous momentum at the moment of tunneling and the tunneling distances over a range of Keldysh parameters. Our results demonstrate that for nonadiabatic tunneling, tunneling ionization away from Γ point is possible. When this happens the electron has a nonzero initial velocity when it emerges in the conduction band. Moreover, consistent with atomic tunneling, a reduced tunneling distance as compared to the quasi-static case is found.

For Z-cut wave-guides, the slab eigenmode problem separates into uncoupled sets of scalar equations for TE andTM modes. Slabs in X-cut configuration support mostly mildly hybrid eigenmodes, with clear pre-dominant TE or TM polarization, and with effective indices that depend on the propagation directionof the modes, relative to the crystal axes. Strong hybridization can be observed for near degeneratemodes in singular configurations without vertical symmetry, or in symmetric slabs where two nearlydegenerate modes are of the same symmetry class. Dispersion curves for slab thickness and propa-gation angle are discussed, for slabs with oxide and air cover. }},
