Controlling sloppiness in two-phase estimation with a tunable weak measurement

The description of complex systems requires a progressively larger number of parameters. However, in practice, it often happens that a small subset of parameters suffice to describe the dynamics of the system itself: these combinations are usually refer...

Visualizing strongly focused 3D light fields in an atomic vapor

Structured light, when strongly focused, generates highly confined vectorial electromagnetic field distributions, which may feature a polarization component along the optical axis. Manipulating and detecting such 3D light fields is challenging, as conve...
