EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Generation of universal linear optics by any beam splitter

Adam Bouland and Scott Aaronson

Phys. Rev. A 89, 062316 (2014) - Published 16 June, 2014

Any beamsplitter that acts nontrivially on two modes can be used to generate a dense set of all unitary transformations on single photons in three or more modes, thereby making tunable beam splitters nonessential in principle for universal optical transformations.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Multiphoton states related via linear optics

Piotr Migdał, Javier Rodríguez-Laguna, Michał Oszmaniec, and Maciej Lewenstein

Phys. Rev. A 89, 062329 (2014) - Published 24 June, 2014

The problem of transforming n-photon pure states into each other by linear optics without postselection is investigated by finding functions on the Hilbert space that are invariant under linear optical transformations.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Collision-induced dissociation of protonated water clusters

F. Berthias, V. Buridon, H. Abdoul-Carime, B. Farizon, M. Farizon, P. M. Dinh, P.-G. Reinhard, E. Suraud, and T. D. Märk

Phys. Rev. A 89, 062705 (2014) - Published 9 June, 2014

The ability to measure cross sections and branching ratios using a recently developed event-by-event mass-spectrometry detection technique has been demonstrated, giving new insight into underlying dissociation mechanisms.
