SYSL: Symposium Classical and Quantum Structured Light

SYSL 1: Classical and Quantum Structured Light

Monday, March 2, 2026, 17:00–19:00, P 1

Considerable interest in the topic of structured light has emerged in recent years. Owing to its unusual properties, such as phase singularities, highly inhomogeneous intensity profiles, and complex polarization textures, structured light has found applications in various fields of research, from information transfer and tweezing to quantum metrology and operation of atomic clock transitions.
