Anomalous‐Chern Steering of Topological Nonreciprocal Guided Waves

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Haoye Qin, Zhechen Zhang, Qiaolu Chen

Nonreciprocal topological edge states based on external magnetic bias have been regarded as the last resort for genuine unidirectional wave transport, showing superior robustness over topological states with preserved time-reversal symmetry. However, fast ...

Thermodynamic bounds on time-reversal asymmetry

Shiling Liang

Quantifying irreversibility of a system using finite information constitutes a major challenge in stochastic thermodynamics. We introduce an observable that measures the time-reversal asymmetry between two states after a given time lag. Our central result ...

Demonstration of a Plasmonic Nonlinear Pseudodiode

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev, Sergejs Boroviks

We demonstrate a nonlinear plasmonic metasurface that exhibits strongly asymmetric second-harmonic generation: nonlinear scattering is efficient upon excitation in one direction, and it is substantially suppressed when the excitation direction is reversed, ...

The arrow-of-time in neuroimaging time series identifies causal triggers of brain function

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Maria Giulia Preti, Enrico Amico, Raphaël Pierre Liégeois

Moving from association to causal analysis of neuroimaging data is crucial to advance our understanding of brain function. The arrow-of-time (AoT), that is, the known asymmetric nature of the passage of time, is the bedrock of causal structures shaping phy ...

Two-dimensional Hubbard model at finite temperature: Weak, strong, and long correlation regimes

Riccardo Rossi

We investigate the momentum-resolved spin and charge susceptibilities, as well as the chemical potential and double occupancy in the two-dimensional Hubbard model as functions of doping, temperature, and interaction strength. Through these quantities, we i ...

Time-reversed Impulse Response Haptic Demonstrator

The EPFL - LAI is investigating novel haptic technologies for rendering rich vibrotactile feedback in digital musical interfaces. The main objective is to develop an interactive surface that can render multitouch vibrotactile stimuli. As part of this resea ...

Finite-temperature materials modeling from the quantum nuclei to the hot electron regime

Michele Ceriotti, Chiheb Ben Mahmoud, Nataliya Lopanitsyna

Atomistic simulations provide insights into structure-property relations on an atomic size and length scale, that are complementary to the macroscopic observables that can be obtained from experiments. Quantitative predictions, however, are usually hindere ...

Bell Diagonal and Werner State Generation: Entanglement, Non-Locality, Steering and Discord on the IBM Quantum Computer

Nicolas Macris, Su Yeon Chang, Marc-André Dupertuis, Chun Lam Chan, Samuel Bosch, Nicolas Schwaller, Frédéric Gessler

We propose the first correct special-purpose quantum circuits for preparation of Bell diagonal states (BDS), and implement them on the IBM Quantum computer, characterizing and testing complex aspects of their quantum correlations in the full parameter spa ...

Arbitrarily high time bandwidth performance in a nonreciprocal optical resonator with broken time invariance

Camille Sophie Brès, Hatice Altug, Davide Grassani, Ivan Cardea, Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Simon Julien Fabbri

Most present-day resonant systems, throughout physics and engineering, are characterized by a strict time-reversal symmetry between the rates of energy coupled in and out of the system, which leads to a trade-off between how long a wave can be stored in th ...
