The topological properties of an object, associated with an integer called the topological invariant, are global features that cannot change continuously but only through abrupt …
The study of the laws of nature has traditionally been pursued in the limit of isolated systems, where energy is conserved. This is not always a valid approximation, however, as the …
Rapidly growing demands for fast information processing have launched a race for creating compact and highly efficient optical devices that can reliably transmit signals without losses …
A hallmark feature of topological insulators is robust edge transport that is impervious to scattering at defects and lattice disorder. We demonstrate a topological system, using a …
Higher-order topological insulators are a novel topological phase beyond the framework of conventional bulk–boundary correspondence,. In these peculiar systems, the topologically …
Topological photonics seeks to control the behaviour of the light through the design of protected topological modes in photonic structures. While this approach originated from …
Topological insulators constitute a newly characterized state of matter that contains scatter- free edge states surrounding an insulating bulk. Conventional wisdom regards the insulating …
Nonlinear topological photonics is an emerging field that aims to extend the fascinating properties of topological states to a regime where interactions between the system …

Non-Hermiticity from nonreciprocal hoppings has been shown recently to demonstrate the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) under open boundary conditions (OBCs). Here we study …
