    Symmetry-protected topological exceptional chains in non-Hermitian crystals

    In non-Hermitian systems, defective band degeneracies called exceptional points can form exceptional lines (ELs) in 3D momentum space in the absence of any symmetries. However, whether the presence of symmetri...

    Experimental realization of chiral Landau levels in two-dimensional Dirac cone systems with inhomogeneous effective mass

    Chiral zeroth Landau levels are topologically protected bulk states. In particle physics and condensed matter physics, the chiral zeroth Landau level plays a significant role in breaking chiral symmetry and gi...

    Classical non-Abelian braiding of acoustic modes

    Non-Abelian braiding is regarded as an essential process for realizing quantum logic. Its realizations in quantum systems often rely on the dynamic winding of anyons, which can be challenging to obtain. Implem...

    Intrinsic in-plane nodal chain and generalized quaternion charge protected nodal link in photonics

    Nodal lines are degeneracies formed by crossing bands in three-dimensional momentum space. Interestingly, these degenerate lines can chain together via touching points and manifest as nodal chains. These nodal...

    Hidden-symmetry-enforced nexus points of nodal lines in layer-stacked dielectric photonic crystals

    It was recently demonstrated that the connectivities of bands emerging from zero frequency in dielectric photonic crystals are distinct from their electronic counterparts with the same space groups. We discove...

    Yang–Baxter equations and quantum entanglements

    In this paper some results associated with a new type of Yang–Baxter equation (YBE) are reviewed. The braiding matrix of Kauffman–Lomonaco has been extended to the solution (called type-II) of Yang–Baxter equa...
