Dynamically crossing diabolic points while encircling exceptional curves: A programmable symmetric-asymmetric multimode switch

Fabrizio Minganti

Nontrivial spectral properties of non-Hermitian systems can lead to intriguing effects with no counterparts in Hermitian systems. For instance, in a two-mode photonic system, by dynamically winding around an exceptional point (EP) a controlled asymmetric-s ...

Emergent non-Hermitian localization phenomena in the synthetic space of zero-dimensional bosonic systems

Fabrizio Minganti

Phase transitions in non-Hermitian systems are at the focus of cutting edge theoretical and experimental research. On the one hand, parity-time- (PT-) and anti-PT-symmetric physics have gained ever-growing interest, due to the existence of non-Hermitian sp ...

Fully solvable finite simplex lattices with open boundaries in arbitrary dimensions

Fabrizio Minganti

Finite simplex lattice models are used in different branches of science, e.g., in condensed-matter physics, when studying frustrated magnetic systems and non-Hermitian localization phenomena; or in chemistry, when describing experiments with mixtures. An n ...

Crossing of the Branch Cut: The Topological Origin of a Universal 2 pi-Phase Retardation in Non-Hermitian Metasurfaces

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri

Full wavefront control by photonic components requires that the spatial phase modulation on an incoming optical beam ranges from 0 to 2 pi. Because of their radiative coupling to the environment, all optical components are intrinsically non-Hermitian syste ...

Einstein's quantum elevator: Hermitization of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians via a generalized vielbein formalism

Fabrizio Minganti

The formalism for non-Hermitian quantum systems sometimes blurs the underlying physics. We present a systematic study of the vielbeinlike formalism which transforms the Hilbert space bundles of non-Hermitian systems into the conventional ones, rendering th ...

Fourier Collocation and Reduced Basis Methods for Fast Modeling of Compressible Flows

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Deep Ray

A projection-based reduced order model (ROM) based on the Fourier collocation method is proposed for compressible flows. The incorporation of localized artificial viscosity model and filtering is pursued to enhance the robustness and accuracy of the ROM fo ...

Exceptional points at bound states in the continuum in photonic integrated circuits

Haoye Qin

We propose the realization of exceptional points (EP) at bound states in the continuum (BIC), with two coupled strips, made of an electron-beam resist and patterned on the thin film photonic integrated platform, which makes possible etchless photonics inte ...

turboMagnon - A code for the simulation of spin-wave spectra using the Liouville-Lanczos approach to time-dependent density-functional perturbation theory

Iurii Timrov

We introduce turboMagnon, an implementation of the Liouville-Lanczos approach to linearized time-dependent density-functional theory, designed to simulate spin-wave spectra in solid-state materials. The code is based on the noncollinear spin-polarized fram ...

Copper, my precious!

Raffaella Buonsanti

To produce chemicals and fuels from CO2 and water while storing excess energy from renewable resources will play a big role in sustainability. Three decades ago, we learned that copper possesses the unique ability to break the stable CO2 bonds and to form ...

Einstein-Cartan gravity, matter, and scale-invariant generalization

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Inar Timiryasov, Andrey Shkerin, Sebastian Zell

We study gravity coupled to scalar and fermion fields in the Einstein-Cartan framework. We discuss the most general form of the action that contains terms of mass dimension not bigger than four, leaving out only contributions quadratic in curvature. By res ...

35 years of photovoltaics: Analysis of the TISO-10-kW solar plant, lessons learnt in safety and performance-Part 1

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Eleonora Annigoni

The TISO-10-kW solar plant, connected to the grid in 1982, is the oldest installation of this kind in Europe. Its history is well documented, and the full set of modules has been tested indoors at regular intervals over the years. After 35 years of operati ...

We present a theoretical analysis of the CORSING (COmpRessed SolvING) method for the numerical approximation of partial differential equations based on compressed sensing. In particular, we show that the best s-term approximation of the weak solution of a ...

R-current three-point functions in 4d N=1 superconformal theories

Alessandro Vichi, Andrea Manenti

In 4d N = 1 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) the R-symmetry current, the stress-energy tensor, and the supersymmetry currents are grouped into a single object, the Ferrara-Zumino multiplet. In this work we study the most general form of three-point fu ...

Vibrational modes of Q-balls

We study linear perturbations of classically stable Q-balls in theories admitting analytic solutions. Although the corresponding boundary value problem is non-Hermitian, the analysis of perturbations can also be performed analytically in certain regimes. W ...

Bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums and applications

We prove nontrivial bounds for general bilinear forms in hyper-Kloosterman sums when the sizes of both variables may be below the range controlled by Fourier-analytic methods (Polya-Vinogradov range). We then derive applications to the second moment of cus ...
