Time-periodic forcing in the form of coherent radiation is a standard tool for the coherent
manipulation of small quantum systems like single atoms. In the last years, periodic driving …

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 …

Quantum simulation has the potential to investigate gauge theories in strongly interacting
regimes, which are currently inaccessible through conventional numerical techniques. Here …

We report on the experimental realization of a uniform synthetic magnetic flux and the
observation of Aharonov-Bohm cages in photonic lattices. Considering a rhombic array of …

Microcavity polaritons are mixed light–matter quasiparticles with extraordinary nonlinear
properties, which can be easily accessed in photoluminescence experiments. Thanks to the …

We experimentally demonstrate the photonic realization of a dispersionless flat band in a
quasi-one-dimensional photonic lattice fabricated by ultrafast laser inscription. In the nearest …

We consider two interacting bosons in a dimerized Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) lattice. We
identify a rich variety of two-body states. In particular, for open boundary conditions and …

Optimal control of two-qubit quantum systems attracts high interest due to applications
ranging from two-qubit gate generation to optimization of receiver for transferring coherence …

Bloch oscillations (BOs), an important transport phenomenon, have been studied
extensively in static systems but remain mysterious in Floquet systems. Here, by harnessing …

Topological materials have been at the forefront of research across various fields of physics
in hopes of harnessing properties such as scatterfree transport due to protection from …
