Chiral quantum optics: recent developments, and future directions

DG Suárez-Forero, MJ Mehrabad, C Vega… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Chiral quantum optics is a growing field of research where light-matter interactions become
asymmetrically dependent on momentum and spin, offering novel control over photonic and …

Macroscopic coherence in quantum fluids allows the observation of interference effects in
their wavefunctions, and enables applications such as superconducting quantum …

Observation of nonreciprocal transverse localization of light

S Liang, C Li, W Yu, Z Liu, C Li, Y Zhang… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Magnetic-free nonreciprocal optical devices that can prevent backscattering of signals are
essential for integrated optical information processing. The achieved nonreciprocal …

Time-periodic driving of a bath-coupled open quantum gas of light

A Erglis, A Sazhin, F Vewinger, M Weitz… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2025 - arxiv.org
We study the frequency-resolved density response of a photon Bose-Einstein condensate
coupled to a bath of dye molecules by time-periodic driving. By monitoring the photon …

Metric-induced nonhermitian physics

P Marra - arxiv preprint arxiv:2412.14250, 2024 - arxiv.org
I consider the long-standing issue of the hermicity of the Dirac equation in curved spacetime
metrics. Instead of imposing hermiticity by adding ad hoc terms, I renormalize the field by a …

Gauge fields induced by curved spacetime on a lattice

P Marra - arxiv preprint arxiv:2412.03647, 2024 - arxiv.org
I found an extended duality (triality) between Dirac fermions in periodic spacetime metrics,
nonrelativistic fermions in gauge fields (eg, Harper-Hofstadter model), and in periodic scalar …
