Configurational-space separation and structure selection in three hard squares

Yuheng Yang, Meng Xiao, Duanduan Wan

Self-assembly of hard particles with diverse shapes gives rise to a rich variety of structures through excluded-volume constraints alone. Here we show that even a minimal system of…

Programming active-molecule dynamics via intramolecular nonreciprocity

Ye Zhang, Meng Xiao, Duanduan Wan

The dynamics of a self-propelled particle are typically hard-wired by its microscopic construction, limiting the range of behaviors accessible without redesigning the particle itse…

Observation of Arbitrarily Configurable Nonlinear Topological Modes

Kai Bai, Chen Lin, Jia-Zheng Li +3

Nonlinear topology is an emerging field that combines the intrinsic reconfigurability of nonlinear systems with the robustness of topological protection, offering fertile ground fo…

Self-propelled particles undergoing cyclic transitions

Ye Zhang, Duanduan Wan

Cyclic transitions between active and passive states are central to many natural and synthetic systems, ranging from light-driven active particles to animal migrations. Here, we in…

Arbitrarily configurable nonlinear topological modes

Kai Bai, Jia-Zheng Li, Tian-Rui Liu +3

Topological modes (TMs) are typically localized at boundaries, interfaces and dislocations, and exponentially decay into the bulk of a large enough lattice. Recently, the non-Hermi…

Braiding topology of symmetry-protected degeneracy points in non-Hermitian systems

Jia-Zheng Li, Kai Bai, Cheng Guo +4

Degeneracy points in non-Hermitian systems are of great interest. While a homotopic framework exists for understanding their behavior in the absence of symmetry, it does not apply…
