We present an in principle lossless sorter for radial modes of light, using accumulated Gouy phases. The experimental setups have been found by a computer algorithm, and can be intuitively understood in a geometric way. Together with the ability to sort angular-momentum modes, we now have access to the complete 2-dimensional transverse plane of light. The device can readily be used in multiplexing classical information. On a quantum level, it is an analog of the Stern-Gerlach experiment -- significant for the discussion of fundamental concepts in quantum physics. As such, it can be applied in high-dimensional and multi-photonic quantum experiments.

Quantum correlations encoded in photonic Laguerre-Gaussian modes were shown to be related to the Gouy phase shifts (D. Kawase et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 050501 (2008)) allowing for a non-destructive manipulation of photonic quantum states. In this
work we exploit the relation between phase space correlations of biphotons produced by spontaneously parametric down conversion (SPDC) as encoded in the logarithmic negativity (LN) and the Gouy phase as they are diffracted through an asymmetrical double slit setup. Using an analytical approach based on a double-gaussian approximation for type-I SPDC biphotons, we show that measurements of Gouy phase differences provide information on their phase space entanglement variation, governed by the physical parameters of the experiment and expressed by the LN via covariance matrix elements.
The transverse structure of light is recognized as a resource that can be used to encode information onto photons and has been shown to be useful to enhance communication capacity as well as resolve point sources in superresolution imaging. The Lague
rre-Gaussian (LG) modes form a complete and orthonormal basis set and are described by a radial index p and an orbital angular momentum (OAM) index l. Earlier works have shown how to build a sorter for the radial index p or/and the OAM index l of LG modes, but a scalable and dedicated LG mode sorter which simultaneous determinate p and l is immature. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate a scheme to accomplish complete LG mode sorting, which consists of a novel, robust radial mode sorter that can be used to couple radial modes to polarizations, an l-dependent phase shifter and an OAM mode sorter. Our scheme is in principle efficient, scalable, and crosstalk-free, and therefore has potential for applications in optical communications, quantum information technology, superresolution imaging, and fiber optics.
Recently there have been experimental results on Poisson spot matter wave interferometry followed by theoretical models describing the relative importance of the wave and particle behaviors for the phenomenon. We propose an analytical theoretical mod
el for the Poissons spot with matter waves based on Babinet principle in which we use the results for a free propagation and single slit diffraction. We take into account effects of loss of coherence and finite detection area using the propagator for a quantum particle interacting with an environment. We observe that the matter wave Gouy phase plays a role in the existence of the central peak and thus corroborates the predominantly wavelike character of the Poissons spot. Our model shows remarkable agreement with the experimental data for deuterium ($D_{2}$) molecules.
Photons occupying multiple spatial modes hold a great promise for implementing high-dimensional quantum communication. We use spontaneous four wave mixing to generate multimode photon pairs in a few mode fiber. We show the photons are correlated in t
he fiber mode basis using an all-fiber mode sorter. Our demonstration paves the way to realization of high-dimensional quantum protocols based on standard, commercially available, fibers in an all-fiber configuration.
We show that the well known geometric phase, the Gouy phase in optics can be defined for matter waves in vacuum as well. In particular we show that the underlying physics for the matter waves Gouy phase is the generalized Schroedinger-Robertson uncer
tainty principle, more specifically, the off diagonal elements of the covariance matrix. Recent experiments involving the diffraction of fullerene molecules and the uncertainty principle are shown to be quantitatively consistent with the existence of a Gouy phase for matter waves.
