Topological photonic systems offer a robust platform for guiding light in the presence of disorder, but their interplay with quantum emitters remains a frontier for realizing strongly correlated quantum states. Here, we ...

We study a topological phase transition in spacetime through which the early universe evolved, growing exponentially due to quantum fluctuations of gravity, described as a geometric quantum field with a noncommutative, n...

Topological insulators possess protected boundary states which are robust against disorders and have immense implications in both fermionic and bosonic systems. Harnessing these topological effects in nonequilibrium scen...

The success of energy transitions in coal-dependent economies, such as South Africa, is critical not only for reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) on affordable ...

Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) in tightly focused optical fields offers a powerful mechanism for manipulating the complex motion of particles. However, to date, such a mechanism has only been applied to the single-orbit mot...

The concept of topology is universally observed in various physical objects when the objects can be described by geometric structures. Although a representative example is the knotted geometry of wavefunctions in recipro...

The presence of π gauge flux enabled by positive and negative hopping amplitude can lead to Möbius bands, which was recently demonstrated in both realistic acoustic and photonic lattices, twisted at k = π. Here, we sh...

In the past few years, concepts from non-Hermitian (NH) physics, originally developed within the context of quantum field theories, have been successfully deployed over a wide range of physical settings where wave dynami...
