Braiding of dynamical eigenvalues of Hermitian bosonic Kitaev chains
Heming Wang, Shanhui Fan
In quantum mechanics, observables correspond to Hermitian operators, and the spectra are restricted to be real. However, the dynamics of the underlying fields may allow complex eig…
Lorentz-Drude dipoles in the radiative limit and their modeling in finite-difference time-domain methods
Heming Wang, Shanhui Fan
The Lorentz-Drude model for electric dipoles is a classical framework widely used in the study of dipole dynamics and light-matter interactions. Here we focus on the behaviors of L…
Creating high-dimensional topological physics using a single ring resonator
Dali Cheng, Heming Wang, Charles Roques-Carmes +2
In spaces of three or more dimensions, there exists topological physics of significant richness that has no lower-dimensional counterparts. To experimentally explore high-dimension…
Topological nature of edge states for one-dimensional systems without symmetry protection
Janet Zhong, Heming Wang, Alexander N Poddubny +1
We numerically verify and analytically prove a winding number invariant that correctly predicts the number of edge states in one-dimensional, nearest-neighbor (between unit cells),…
