State splitting and non-classical hybridization by Anderson localization
https://doi.org/10.29235/1561-8323-2026-70-2-119-125
Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate that Anderson localization of the electromagnetic field in a chain of coupled waveguides can be implemented to realize a multiple-output beam-splitter. We demonstrate that despite the inherently noisy character of Anderson localization, our beam-splitting device is able to realize hybridization of classical and non-classical states with several non-classical states as the output. This effect is illustrated by means of the example of single-photon state hybridization with the coherent state.
