Chirality in Condensed Matter: Symmetry, Waves, and Quasiparticles

Jorge Puebla, Jun-ichiro Kishine, Masashi Shiraishi +1

Chirality has become a recurring concept throughout condensed-matter physics, appearing in contexts ranging from optical activity and chiral phonons to magnetic excitations and hyb…

Wave chirality reversal without passing achirality

M. V. Berry, K. Y. Bliokh, J. M. Robbins

Chiral connectedness describes chiral structures that transform smoothly into their mirror images while never being achiral. The phenomenon is illustrated with a two-parameter fami…

Vortex formation around islands in random waves

Alex J. Vernon, Junyi Ye, Wenzhe Liu +2

Wave vortices are fundamental topological features of interference fields, occurring at nodal points where the wave amplitude vanishes. A distinct class of vortices can instead for…

Wave Vortices Around Oscillating Subwavelength Holes: Water-Wave Observation

Junyi Ye, Zheyi Li, Alexey Y. Nikitin +4

We consider a two-dimensional wave system containing a subwavelength hole, such as an aperture in an interface supporting surface electromagnetic or acoustic waves, or an island in…

Dynamic Water-Wave Tweezers

Jun Wang, Shanhe Pang, Zhiyuan Che +11

Following a recent demonstration of stable trapping of floating particles by stationary (monochromatic) structured water waves [Nature 638, 394 (2025)], we report dynamic water-wav…

Electric-Magnetic Geometric Phase

Alex J. Vernon, Konstantin Y. Bliokh

Geometric phases play an enormous role in optics and are generally associated with the evolution of light's polarization state on the Poincaré sphere, or its spin on the sphere of…
