Recently, we showed experimentally that light carrying orbital angular momentum experiences a slight subluminality under free-space propagation [1]. We thank Saari [2] for pointing out an apparent discrepancy between our theoretical results and the well-known results for the simple case of Laguerre-Gauss modes. In this reply, we note that the resolution of this apparent discrepancy is the distinction between Laguerre-Gauss modes and Hypergeometric-Gauss modes, which were used in our experiment and in our theoretical analysis, which gives rise to different subluminal effects.
We reply to S. Coen and T. Sylvestres comment on our paper [Phys. Rev. A 80, 045803 (2009)] and make some additional remarks on our experimental results.
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors. We have discovered an error in the evaluation of the diagram, which invalidates our conclusion.
The above comment [E. I. Lashin, D. Dou, arXiv:1606.04738] claims that the paper Quantum Raychaudhuri Equation by S. Das, Phys. Rev. D89 (2014) 084068 [arXiv:1404.3093] has problematic points with regards to its derivation and implications. We show below that the above claim is incorrect, and that there are no problems with results of the above paper or its implications.
In this Reply we propose a modified security proof of the Quantum Dense Key Distribution protocol detecting also the eavesdropping attack proposed by Wojcik in his Comment.
In a recent paper [C. Marr, M. Mueller-Linow, and M.-T. Huett, Phys. Rev. E 75, 041917 (2007)] we discuss the pronounced potential of real metabolic network topologies, compared to randomized counterparts, to regularize complex binary dynamics. In their comment [P. Holme and M. Huss, arXiv:0705.4084v1], Holme and Huss criticize our approach and repeat our study with more realistic dynamics, where stylized reaction kinetics are implemented on sets of pairwise reactions. The authors find no dynamic difference between the reaction sets recreated from the metabolic networks and randomized counterparts. We reproduce the authors observation and find that their algorithm leads to a dynamical fragmentation and thus eliminates the topological information contained in the graphs. Hence, their approach cannot rule out a connection between the topology of metabolic networks and the ubiquity of steady states.
