The idea of synthetic dimensions is to use non-spatial degrees of freedom as dimensions to realize and study models of interest in high dimensions using low dimensional setups. Of particular interest ...

In the past decades, the discovery of the topological quantum phase has revolutionized the understanding of the fundamental phases of quantum matter. The classification of the topological quantum ...

Over last few decades, study of topological phases of matter in solid-state electron systems has been extended to other research field, including synthetic dimensions, and motivates extensive research ...

Molding the flow of light—whether confined to localized regions or propagating in free space—remains crucial for modern integrated photonics. The advancement of the multi-channel, programmable optical ...

When the ancient Incas wanted to archive tax and census records, they used a device made up of a number of strings called a quipu, which encoded the data in knots. Fast-forward several hundred years, ...

An international team of researchers has forced light to replicate the quantum Hall effect, a Nobel Prize–winning phenomenon ...

Researchers have identified a class of quantum materials, called topological semimetals, that can split water into hydrogen fuel using nothing but sunlight, sidestepping the expensive platinum-based ...
