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…
Orbital Altermagnetic Photonic Crystal
Sichang Qiu, Huichang Li, Yan Meng +6
Altermagnetism features momentum-dependent spin splitting without net magnetization, extending spintronics beyond conventional ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. However, the p…
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.…
Spatiotemporal topological phase transitions in photonic spacetime crystals
Zebin Zhu, Bolun Huang, Siqi Xu +5
Topological phase transitions, characterized by the closing and reopening of band gaps and a concomitant change in topological invariants, have played a central role in topological…
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…
