• Abstract: We propose a geometric hybrid Poincaré sphere (GHPS) as a unified geometrical framework for describing structured photon states with independently controllable spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM). Unlike the conventional higher-order Poincaré sphere, in which the SAM and OAM are intrinsically coupled through fixed basis states, the GHPS is constructed by defining its poles as direct products of arbitrary orthogonal bases on the Poincaré sphere (PS) and orbital Poincaré sphere (OPS) and by superposing these pole states. Using numerical simulations, we analyze representative GHPS states and show that the GHPS spherical coordinates govern the amplitude ratio and relative phase between the pole bases. This framework enables spatially inhomogeneous polarization distributions and intensity patterns, including nonseparable structures in which polarization and intensity are intrinsically intertwined, and provides a systematic state-space description for the coherent geometrical control of advanced structured light fields.

• Topological Polarisation States [0.0]
  We show that broken rotational symmetric systems can exhibit distinct topological structures in polarisation states. We use a phase-shifter to form a polarisation circle, which interferes with the original input due to the phase change of the output state. We also discuss about realisations of other topological features, such as M"obius strip, Hopf-links, and topological Dirac bosons with a bulk-edge correspondence.

  We observe an analogy between the structures found in connection with the Arkani-Hamed-Bai-He-Yan (ABHY) associahedron used for understanding scattering amplitudes, and the one used for understanding space-time emerging from patterns of entanglement. Our observations hint at the possibility that the factorization properties of scattering amplitudes are connected to the notion of separability of space-time as used in the theory of holographic quantum entanglement.
