Extended Data Fig. 1: Microwave setup.

a, Electronic setup used to generate and control the microwave field. Individually, the two antenna feeds produce mainly linear polarized fields parallel to each feed, respectively. The voltage-controlled attenuators are used to balance the fields and to adiabatically ramp the field intensity. The phase shifters allow to tune the polarization. b, Half-section view of the waveguide antenna that shows the inside of the waveguide and the transition from the coaxial cable (red jacket) to the feed.
