Experimental observation of energy-band Riemann surface
Dali Cheng, Heming Wang, Janet Zhong +3
Non-Hermiticity naturally arises in many physical systems that exchange energy with their environment. The presence of non-Hermiticity leads to many novel topological physics pheno…
Topology of the generalized Brillouin zone of one-dimensional models
Heming Wang, Janet Zhong, Shanhui Fan
The generalized Brillouin zones (GBZs) are integral in the analysis of non-Hermitian band structures. Conventional wisdom suggests that the GBZ should be connected, where each poin…
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),…
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…
Pole and zero edge state invariant for 1D non-Hermitian sublattice symmetry
Janet Zhong, Heming Wang, Shanhui Fan
There have been several criteria for the existence of topological edge states in 1D non-Hermitian two-band sublattice-symmetric tight-binding Hamiltonians. The generalized Brilloui…
