Dissipative solitons are well known as representative nonlinear localized wave packets
resulting from the composite balance of dispersion, nonlinearity, gain and loss in optical …

Microresonators are micron-scale optical systems that confine light using total internal
reflection. These optical systems have gained interest in the past two decades due to their …

We report on the first experimental observation of spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking
(SSB) in coherently driven-dissipative coupled optical cavities. SSB is observed as the …

We report the experimental and numerical observation of oscillatory antiphase switching
between counterpropagating light beams in Kerr ring microresonators, where dominance …

Two coupled nanolasers exhibit a mode switching transition, theoretically described by
mode beating limit cycle oscillations. Their decay rate is vanishingly small in the …

We introduce the notion of steady-state quantum chaos as a general phenomenon in open
quantum many-body systems. Classifying an isolated or open quantum system as integrable …

We consider the open two-site Bose–Hubbard dimer, a well-known quantum mechanical
model that has been realised recently for photons in two coupled photonic crystal …

Motivated by recent experiments, we study the properties of large Bose-Hubbard chains with
single-particle losses at one site using classical field methods. We construct and validate a …

Entanglement preparation and signal accumulation are essential for quantum parameter
estimations, which pose significant challenges to both theories and experiments. Here, we …

The Bose--Hubbard dimer model is a celebrated fundamental quantum mechanical model
that accounts for the dynamics of bosons at two interacting sites. It has been realized …
