Skyrmions are topologically stable quasiparticles that have been predicted and
demonstrated in quantum fields, solid-state physics and magnetic materials, but only …

Metasurfaces are subwavelength structured thin films consisting of arrays of units that allow
the control of polarization, phase, and amplitude of light over a subwavelength thickness …

In recent times, the optical-analogous skyrmions, topological quasiparticles with
sophisticated vectorial structures in light, have received an increasing amount of interest …

Topological complex transient electromagnetic fields give access to nontrivial light-matter
interactions and provide additional degrees of freedom for information transfer. An important …

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is an important feature of structured
electromagnetic fields exhibiting non-uniform spatial distribution. In contrast to a spin …

Control and understanding of ensembles of skyrmions is important for realization of future
technologies. In particular, the order-disorder transition associated with the 2D lattice of …

This Letter proposes a family of structured light, called bimeronic beams, that characterize
topological structures of bimeron (the quasiparticle homeomorphic to skyrmion). The …

Optical meron is a type of nonplanar topological texture mainly observed in surface plasmon
polaritons and highly symmetric points of photonic crystals in the reciprocal space. Here, we …

Celebrating its centennial anniversary, the Stern–Gerlach experiment has proven to be one
of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics, unravelling the quantized nature of the spin …

Skyrmions are topologically protected quasiparticles, originally studied in condensed-matter
systems and recently in photonics, with great potential in high-density information storage …
