The newly emerging field of wave front shaping in complex media has recently seen
enormous progress. The driving force behind these advances has been the experimental …

Topological photonics is a rapidly emerging field of research in which geometrical and
topological ideas are exploited to design and control the behavior of light. Drawing …

Moiré lattices consist of two superimposed identical periodic structures with a relative
rotation angle. Moiré lattices have several applications in everyday life, including artistic …

Quantum states of quasiparticles in solids are dictated by symmetry. We have experimentally
demonstrated quantum states of Dirac electrons in a two-dimensional quasicrystal without …

What do lotus flowers have in common with human bones, liquid crystals with colloidal
suspensions, and white beetles with the beautiful stones of the Taj Mahal? The answer is …

The hallmark property of two-dimensional topological insulators is robustness of quantized
electronic transport of charge and energy against disorder in the underlying lattice. That …

The physics of periodic systems are of fundamental importance and result in various
phenomena that govern wave transport and interference. However, deviations from …

The Aubry-André-Harper model provides a paradigmatic example of aperiodic order in a
one-dimensional lattice displaying a delocalization-localization phase transition at a finite …

Over the past decade, the Anderson localization of light and a wide variety of associated
phenomena have come to the forefront of research. Numerous investigations have been …

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 …
