Topological polarisation states

Polarisation states are described by spin expectation values, known as Stokes parameters, the trajectories of which in a rotationally symmetric system form a sphere named after Poincaré. Here, we show that the trajectories of broken rotational symmetric systems can exhibit distinct topological struc...
