Exploiting the Poincare-Bloch symmetry to design high-fidelity broadband composite linear retarders

States can be mapped between the Poincaré space (representing photon polarizations) and the Bloch space (representing states of a quantum spin-1÷2 particle). Using this mapping and analogous mappings for unitary operators, techniques and formalisms developed in one space can be applied in the other....
