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…

Spin-dependent gain and loss in photonic quantum spin Hall systems

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

Topological phases are greatly enriched by including non-Hermiticity. While most works focus on the topology of the eigenvalues and eigenstates, how topologically nontrivial non-He…
