Abstract – This talk focuses on the interaction of electromagnetic waves with metamaterials and manipulating the polarization state of light, which are essential for on-chip photonics and quantum information processing. By designing a metasurface based on geometrical-scaling-induced phase modulations, the transformation and distribution of different polarization-entangled photon pairs have been realized with multichannel dielectric metasurfaces. This is a significant development in applying metasurface to quantum networks. We also show a strategy to overcome the fundamental limit of polarization multiplexing capacity of metasurfaces by introducing the engineered noise to the precise solution of Jones matrix elements, where the conventional restriction of polarization multiplexing roots from the dimension constraint of the Jones matrix. This approach implies a new paradigm for high-capacity optical display, information encryption, and data storage. As a practical application, we also present a metasurface that achieves a matte appearance in reflection while offering broadband, perfect transmission, showcasing its potential for various optical technologies.
