• Abstract: We experimentally investigate non-local contextual relations between complementary photon polarizations by adapting the entanglement and the local polarizations of a two-photon state to satisfy three deterministic conditions demonstrating both quantum contextuality and non-locality. The key component of this adaptive input state control is the variable degree of entanglement of the photon source. Local polarization rotations can optimize two of the three correlations, and the variation of the entanglement optimizes the third correlation. Our results demonstrate that quantum contextuality is based on a non-trivial trade-off between local complementarity and quantum correlations.

  Quantum entanglement between paired photons is the foundation of optical quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum networks. Recently, a coherence-based approach has been explored to understand the so-called quantum mystery of nonlocal intensity fringes emerging from local randomness. Here, a pure coherence method is presented to create macroscopic quantum features using conventional laser light via linear optics-based measurement modifications.

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.
