Experimental observation of hyperbolic spacetime dynamics

Jonas Himmel, Coraline Bacq, Krishna Chand Maurya +11

Understanding quantum dynamics in curved spacetime is a central challenge at the intersection of quantum mechanics and gravity. Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) spacetime plays a pivotal role…

Eigenmodes of latent-symmetric quantum photonic networks

Jonas Himmel, Max Ehrhardt, Matthias Heinrich +3

We investigate the impact of latent symmetries on the dynamics of photonic systems and their eigenmodes. Residing solely within the eigenspectral domain, latent symmetries are not…

Nonlinearity-induced photonic topological insulator

Lukas J. Maczewsky, Matthias Heinrich, Mark Kremer +8

The hallmark feature of topological insulators renders edge transport virtually impervious to scattering at defects and lattice disorder. In our work, we experimentally demonstrate…

Exploring complex graphs using three-dimensional quantum walks of correlated photons

Max Ehrhardt, Robert Keil, Lukas J. Maczewsky +3

Graph representations are a powerful concept for solving complex problems across natural science, as patterns of connectivity can give rise to a multitude of emergent phenomena. Gr…

Extreme defect sensitivity from large synthetic dimensionality

Lukas J. Maczewsky, Kai Wang, Alexander A. Dovgiy +7

The geometric dimensionality of a physical system significantly impacts its fundamental characteristics. While experiments are fundamentally limited to the maximum of three spatial…
