Optical Phase Transitions in Photonic Networks: a Spin-System Formulation
We investigate the collective dynamics of nonlinearly interacting modes in multimode photonic settings. To this end, we have established a connection with the theory of spin networks. The emerging “photonic spins” are complex, soft (their size is not fixed), and their dynamics has two constants of m...
