Demonstration of a Tunable Non-Hermitian Nonlinear Microwave Dimer

Juan S. Salcedo-Gallo, Michiel Burgelman, Vincent P. Flynn +6

Achieving and controlling non-reciprocity in engineered photonic structures is of fundamental interest in science and engineering. Here, we introduce a tunable, non-Hermitian, nonl…

The Interplay of Finite and Infinite Size Stability in Quadratic Bosonic Lindbladians

Mariam Ughrelidze, Vincent P Flynn, Emilio Cobanera +1

We provide a framework for understanding dynamical metastability in open many-body systems of free bosons, whereby the dynamical stability properties of the system in the infinite-…

Topological zero modes and edge symmetries of metastable Markovian bosonic systems

Vincent P. Flynn, Emilio Cobanera, Lorenza Viola

Tight bosonic analogs of free-fermionic symmetry-protected topological phases, and their associated edge-localized excitations, have long evaded the grasp of condensed-matter and A…

Topology by Dissipation: Majorana Bosons in Metastable Quadratic Markovian Dynamics

Vincent P. Flynn, Emilio Cobanera, Lorenza Viola

Majorana bosons, that is, tight bosonic analogs of the Majorana fermionic quasiparticles of condensed matter physics, are forbidden for gapped free bosonic matter within a standard…

Squaring the fermion: The threefold way and the fate of zero modes

Qiao-Ru Xu, Vincent P. Flynn, Abhijeet Alase +3

We investigate topological properties and classification of mean-field theories of stable bosonic systems. Of the three standard classifying symmetries, only time-reversal represen…

Restoring number conservation in quadratic bosonic Hamiltonians with dualities

Vincent P. Flynn, Emilio Cobanera, Lorenza Viola

Number-non-conserving terms in quadratic bosonic Hamiltonians can induce unwanted dynamical instabilities. By exploiting the pseudo-Hermitian structure built in to these Hamiltonia…

Deconstructing effective non-Hermitian dynamics in quadratic bosonic Hamiltonians

Vincent P. Flynn, Emilio Cobanera, Lorenza Viola

Unlike their fermionic counterparts, the dynamics of Hermitian quadratic bosonic Hamiltonians are governed by a generally non-Hermitian Bogoliubov-de Gennes effective Hamiltonian.…

Exploring itinerant states in divalent hexaborides using rare-earth edge resonant inelastic X-ray scattering

Donal Sheets, Vincent Flynn, Jungho Kim +10

We present a study of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra collected at the rare-earth edges of divalent hexaborides YbB and EuB. In both systems, RIXS-ac…
