Breaking of reciprocity and the Pancharatnam-Berry phase for light scattered by a disordered cold-atom cloud
The authors demonstrate reciprocity breaking induced by noncommuting polarization operations using an interferometric setup for light scattered by cold atoms. The experiment provides insights into how interference phenomena may be affected by symmetry-breaking effects in disordered systems.
