Gadget to realize arbitrary polarization transformation on a higher order Poincar\'e sphere
A four-element gadget of two q-plates and two half-wave plates is proposed to transform any polarization state on a higher-order Poincaré sphere into any other, but the central Jones derivation is internally inconsistent.
