Optical realization of a quantum beam splitter

Abstract: We show how the quantum process of splitting light may be modeled in classical optics. A second result is the possibility to engineer specific forms of a classical field.

“…As commented in the introduction, waveguide arrays are a good testbed to simulate both classical and quantum phenomena [20][21][22][23][24]. We shall discuss in this section, to motivate physically the coherent states discussed in this paper, the model of equally spaced and homogeneous waveguide arrays, in the cases of an infinite, a semi-infinite and a finite number of waveguides.…”

“…Waveguide arrays are a good testbed to simulate both classical and quantum phenomena [19][20][21][22][23], and in this case we shall use them to realize coherent states of the Euclidean E(2) group. We shall focus in the case of an infinite number of equally spaced and homogeneous parallel waveguide arrays.…”

“…The Hamiltonian H int = k(â † A âB + h.c.) models a linear interaction between two quantum fields (e.g. a beam-splitter in quantum optics [19]). It is exactly solvable in the sense that it can be linearly transformed into decoupled harmonic oscillators.…”
