• Abstract: We investigate the impact of latent symmetries on the dynamics of photonic systems and their eigenmodes. Residing solely within the eigenspectral domain, latent symmetries are not visible in real space, yet promise intriguing new ways to engineer the functionality of photonic systems. We study the eigenmodes of a 9-site latent-symmetric photonic network and find that an anti-symmetric input state is fundamentally precluded from populating so-called singlet sites. Furthermore, arbitrary extensions of the system at these sites do not break its latent symmetry. Therefore anti-symmetric excitations cannot leave the initial system, which can be leveraged e.g. for the storage of information. This holds true for both single-photon states, or classical light, as well as both distinguishable and indistinguishable two-photon quantum states. Latent symmetries introduce a powerful new set of tools to the design of systems with desired functionality on any nanophotonic platform, paving the way for applications in photonic information processing.

  Multiphoton correlations in linear photonic quantum networks are governed by matrix permanents. We show that the overall multiphoton behavior of a network from its individual building blocks typically defies intuition. Our results underline new ways in which quantum correlations may be preserved in counterintuitive ways even in small-scale non-Hermitian networks.

  We show that the system state can acquire symmetry, which is not inherent to the system Hamiltonian. The emergence of symmetry manifests itself in a change of the system dynamics, which can be interpreted as a phase transition in a Hermitian system without symmetry.

  We study the problem of stereo matching from a pair of images with different resolutions, e.g., those acquired with a tele-wide camera system. We propose to impose the consistency between two views in a feature space instead of the image space, named feature-metric consistency. We find that, although a stereo matching network trained with the photometric loss is not optimal, its feature extractor can produce degradation-agnostic and matching-specific features.

• Nonlinear optical processes in centrosymmetric systems by strong-coupling-induced symmetry breaking [0.0]
  Inversion symmetry prevents nonlinear optical responses mediated by even-order susceptibilities in material systems for applications in nanophotonics. Here, we demonstrate induced nonlinear optical processes, namely second- and fourth-harmonic generation that are naturally forbidden in an inversion system. Our work constitutes a step forward in the direction of realizing physically forbidden nonlinear optical processes in centrosymmetric materials widely adopted for applications in integrated photonics.

This can be exploited for applications such as superresolution imaging of point-like sources.
