Fig. 1: Chiral Young’s double slit Gedankenexperiment.

a The superposition of the achiral component of the emission (even with respect to the center, left panel) and the enantio-sensitive component of emission (odd, central panel) leads to enantio-sensitive bending of the emitted light (right panel). b Mono-dimensional (1D) arrangement of charged units that is: charged and unpolarized, neutral and unpolarized, and neutral and polarized. c 1D arrangement of chiral units that is: chiral and unpolarized, achiral and unpolarized, and achiral and polarized. d Sketch of the handedness of a light field that is chirality-polarized along the spatial coordinate ri.
