Topological bands for ultracold atoms

NR Cooper, J Dalibard, IB Spielman - Reviews of modern physics, 2019 - APS
There have been significant recent advances in realizing band structures with geometrical
and topological features in experiments on cold atomic gases. This review summarizes …

The road towards polaritonic devices

D Sanvitto, S Kéna-Cohen - Nature materials, 2016 - nature.com
Polaritons are quasiparticles that form in semiconductors when an elementary excitation
such as an exciton or a phonon interacts sufficiently strongly with light. In particular, exciton …

Quantum transport in fractal networks

XY Xu, XW Wang, DY Chen, CM Smith, XM Jin - Nature Photonics, 2021 - nature.com
Fractals are fascinating, not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for allowing the
investigation of physical properties in non-integer dimensions. In these unconventional …

The Fibonacci quasicrystal: Case study of hidden dimensions and multifractality

A Jagannathan - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
The distinctive electronic properties of quasicrystals stem from their long-range structural
order, with invariance under rotations and under discrete scale change, but without …

Topological photonic quasicrystals: fractal topological spectrum and protected transport

MA Bandres, MC Rechtsman, M Segev - Physical Review X, 2016 - APS
We show that it is possible to have a topological phase in two-dimensional quasicrystals
without any magnetic field applied, but instead introducing an artificial gauge field via …

Ring structure in the complex plane: A fingerprint of a non-Hermitian mobility edge

SZ Li, Z Li - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
By Avila's global theory, we analytically reveal that the non-Hermitian mobility edge will take
on a ring structure in the complex plane, which we name as the “mobility ring”. The …

Exciton-polariton trapping and potential landscape engineering

C Schneider, K Winkler, MD Fraser… - Reports on Progress …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities have become a model system for the

Probing a dissipative phase transition via dynamical optical hysteresis

SRK Rodriguez, W Casteels, F Storme… - Physical review …, 2017 - APS
We experimentally explore the dynamical optical hysteresis of a semiconductor microcavity
as a function of the sweep time. The hysteresis area exhibits a double power law decay due …

Non-hermitian delocalization in a two-dimensional photonic quasicrystal

Z Zhang, S Liang, I Septembre, J Yu, Y Huang, M Liu… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Theoretical and experimental studies suggest that both Hermitian and non-Hermitian
quasicrystals show localization due to the fractal spectrum and to the transition to diffusive …
