Topologically-protected superluminal pair annihilation in photonic time crystals
Liang Zhang, Chenhao Pan, Jinze He +4
Photonic time crystals (PTCs) - dielectric media whose permittivity is periodically modulated in time - map to a Dirac equation with an imaginary mass, opening a momentum gap (k-ga…

Generating and Weaving Topological Event Wavepackets in Photonic Spacetime Crystals with Fully Energy-Momentum Gapped
Liang Zhang, Zirui Zhao, Qiaofei Pan +3
We propose a novel type of topological excitation topological event wavepackets (TEWs) emerging in photonic spacetime crystals (STCs) with spacetime modulated dielectric constants.…
