Topological phenomena at defects in acoustic, photonic and solid-state lattices by Lin, Zhi-Kang, Wang, Qiang, Liu, Yang, Xue, Haoran, Zhang, Baile, Chong, Yidong, Jiang, Jian-Hua

“…Topological lattice defects in topological materials offer a platform to explore a diverse range of phenomena, such as robust topological-bound states, fractional charges, topological Wannier cycles, chiral and gravitational anomalies, topological lasers and topological-defect-induced pumping and non-Hermitian skin effects. In this Perspective article, we survey the developments in this rapidly moving field from both theoretical and experimental perspectives, with an emphasis on the latter. …”

Deception POINT / by Brown, Dan, 1964- 274722 author

“…When a new NASA satellite detects evidence of an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory...a victory that has profound implications for U.S. space policy and the impending presidential election.With the Oval Office in the balance, the President dispatches White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Arctic to verify the authenticity of the find. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic academic Michael Tolland, Rachel uncovers the unthinkable - evidence of scientific trickery - a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy...…”

Hamiltonian non-Hermicity: accurate dynamics with the multiple Davydov D2 Ansätze by Zhang, Lixing, Shen, Kaijun, Yan, Yiying, Sun, Kewei, Gelin, Maxim F., Zhao, Yang

“…As illustrative examples, three systems of interest have been studied, a non-Hermitian system of dissipative Landau-Zener transitions, a non-Hermitian multimode Jaynes-Cummings model, and a dissipative Holstein-Tavis-Cummings model, all of which are shown to be effectively described by the mDA method. Our findings high light the versatility of the mDA as a powerful numerical tool for investigating complex many-body non-Hermitian systems, which can be extended to explore diverse phenomena such as skin effects, excited-state dynamics, and spectral topology in the non-Hermitian field.…”
