Fractality-induced photonic topological insulators
Shuming Zhang, Zhaoxin Wu, Lumen Eek +2
Fractal lattices have recently emerged as a promising setting for topological wave physics, but in most realizations the topological character is inherited from externally engineer…

Nonlinear Photonic Tripartite Phase
Xiangrui Hou, Fangyu Wang, Zhaoxin Wu +8
Anderson localization is usually understood as a transition between extended and localized phases, with criticality confined to a single mobility edge. Recent advances predict that…

Quantum boomerang effect of light
Xiangrui Hou, Zhaoxin Wu, Fangyu Wang +3
The quantum boomerang effect is a counterintuitive phenomenon where a wave packet, despite having an initial momentum, returns to its starting position in a disordered medium. Howe…
