The special relativity is the foundation for many branches of modern physics, of which the theoretical results are far beyond our daily experience and hard to realized in kinematic experiments. However, its outcomes could be demonstrated by making use of the convenient substitute, i.e., the squeezed light in the present paper. The squeezed light is very important in the field of quantum optics, and the corresponding transformation can be regarded as the coherent state of SU(1,1). In this paper, the connection between the squeezed operator and the Lorentz boost is built under certain conditions. Furthermore, the additional law of relativistic velocities and the angle of the Wigner rotation are deduced as well.
We study the underlying symmetry in a spin-orbit coupled tight-binding model with Hubbard interaction.It is shown that,in the absence of the on-site interaction,the system possesses the SU(2)symmetry arising from the time reversal symmetry.The influence of the on-site interaction on the symmetry depends on the topology of the networks:The SU(2)symmetry is shown to be the spin rotation symmetry of a simply-connected lattice even in the presence of the Hubbard interaction.On the contrary,the on-site interaction breaks the SU(2)symmetry of a multi-connected lattice.This fact indicates that a discrete spin-orbit coupled system has exclusive features from its counterpart in a continuous system.The obtained rigorous result is illustrated by a simple ring system.
Femtosecond laser filamentation is generally initialized from unpredictable symmetry breaking caused by random noise, causing it to be barely controlled. However, it is always anticipated for stable and controllable filamentation.We present and demonstrate the idea that hybridly polarized vector fields with axial symmetry broken polarization, associated with a pair of orthogonally linearly polarized vortices carrying the opposite-handed orbital angular momenta, could achieve controllable and robust multiple filamentation. Here, our motivation is to unveil the underlying physics behind such controllable and robust multiple filamentation. The symmetry breaking should first be actively controllable and then be able to effectively inhibit random noise. Robust multiple filamentation is inseparable from the fact that the phases between the multiple filaments are always locked. In contrast, uncontrollable multiple filamentation is always accompanied with loss of phase, i.e., the multiple filaments become incoherent to each other. Our results may offer a suggestion for achieving controllable and robust multiple filamentation in other systems.
