An exact solution for dipole fields inside optical multilayer structures

In this report, we derive some tools that can be used to construct semi-analytical solution for the electromagnetic field of a dipole in an arbitrary multilayer system. The proposed methods consist of a recursive determination of electric fields -- using the mathematical principle behind a Fabry-Perot interferometer -- and two different...

Validity of analytical Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector responsivity expressions

Astrophysical photons with a sub-millimetre wavelength are of great value to research star and galaxy formation. Superconductors have a small energy gap with which these sub-millimetre photons can be measured. Superconductors can absorb photons so that quasiparticles are created, which will in turn change the complex conductivity: incoming...

A boolean QPQ using single photons

I propose an implementation of the quantum private query protocol as described in an article using a photon to encode a question and reflectionor transmission of the photon as answer options. Each question is represented by a photon in a transmission line with both ends returning to the user, and the answer is represented by reflection or...
