Programmable branched flow of light
Shan-shan Chang, Daxing Xiong, Ze-huan Zheng +5
We demonstrate deterministic control of branched flow of light using anisotropic nematic liquid crystals. By sculpting the director field via photoalignment, we create spatially pr…

Entanglement dynamics driven by topology and non-Hermiticity
Li-Wei Wang, Bolun Hu, Haixiao Zhang +3
The interplay between topology and non-Hermiticity gives rise to exotic dynamic phenomena that challenge conventional wave-packet propagation and entanglement dynamics. While recen…
