Observation of fractality-induced topology in photonic crystals
Bei Yan, Yingfeng Qi, Xiang Xi +6
Fractal topology--achieved by integrating nontrivial topology into fractal geometries with self-similarity and non-integer dimensions--has opened new avenues for exploring topologi…
Testing holographic duality in hyperbolic lattices
Jingming Chen, Feiyu Chen, Linyun Yang +16
The celebrated holographic duality posits a correspondence between a quantum gravity in a bulk spacetime and a quantum field theory (QFT) defined on its lower-dimensional boundary.…
Three-dimensional topological disclination in acoustic crystals
Zhenxiao Zhu, Yan Meng, Minmiao Wang +11
Topological disclinations, crystallographic defects that break rotation lattice symmetry, have attracted great interest and exhibited wide applications in cavities, waveguides, and…
Realization of a Dirac-vortex topological photonic crystal fiber
Quanhao Niu, Bei Yan, Lei Shen +10
Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) that trap and guide light using photonic bandgaps have revolutionized modern optics with enormous scientific innovations and technological applicatio…
Topological Dirac-vortex modes in a three-dimensional photonic topological insulator
Bei Yan, Yingfeng Qi, Ziyao Wang +8
