Non-Hermitian engineering of terahertz light using exceptional points in electrically tuneable collective light-matter interactions

M. Said Ergoktas, Sina Soleymani, Nurbek Kakenov +8

The topological structure associated with the branchpoint singularity around an exceptional point (EP) provides new tools for controlling the propagation of electromagnetic waves a…

Dispersive readout of Majorana qubits

Thomas B. Smith, Maja C. Cassidy, David J. Reilly +2

We analyze a readout scheme for Majorana qubits based on dispersive coupling to a resonator. We consider two variants of Majorana qubits: the Majorana transmon and the Majorana box…

Topological Surface-plasmon-polaritons on Corrugated Metal-dielectric Surfaces

Thomas Benjamin Smith, Coskun Kocabas, Alessandro Principi

We study topological surface-plasmon-polaritons at optical frequencies in diffraction gratings formed by bipartite corrugated metal-dielectric gratings. To do so we implement the t…

Emergent Non-Hermitian Edge Polarisation in an Hermitian Tight-binding Model

Thomas Benjamin Smith, Alessandro Principi

We study a bipartite Kronig-Penney model with negative Dirac-delta potentials that may be used, amongst other models, to interpret plasmon propagation in nanoparticle arrays. Such…

A Bipartite Kronig-Penney Model with Dirac Potential Scatterers

Thomas Benjamin Smith, Alessandro Principi

Here we present a simple extension to the age-old Kronig-Penney model, which is made to be bipartite by varying either the scatterer separations or the potential heights. In doing…

Breakdown of the Wiedemann-Franz law in AB-stacked bilayer graphene

Mohammad Zarenia, Giovanni Vignale, Thomas Benjamin Smith +1

We present a simple theory of thermoelectric transport in bilayer graphene and report our results for the electrical resistivity, the thermal resistivity, the Seebeck coefficient,…
