AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers investigate how light can be localized in space and time at the boundary between two different periodic structures known as photonic lattices.
  • They introduce a new type of light wave called continuous-discrete spatiotemporal solitons that can move along this boundary.
  • These solitons include unique configurations known as hybrid staggered-unstaggered light bullets, which have trailing structures derived from various spectral gaps.

Article Abstract

We analyze spatiotemporal light localization at the interface separating two different periodic photonic lattices. We demonstrate the existence of a novel class of continuous-discrete spatiotemporal solitons propagating along the interface, including hybrid staggered-unstaggered discrete light bullets with tails belonging to spectral gaps of different types.

Analysis of the dynamic evolution of green technology innovation decision-making in the supply chain.

School of Business Administration, Chongqing Vocational College of Light Industry, Chongqing, 400065, China. Electronic address:

Green technology innovation (GTI) breaks the vicious cycle of "economic development-environmental pollution," mitigating the supply chain carbon emissions. Previous research focused on exploring supply chain GTI decision-making in the discrete strategy space and ignored the effect of stochastic factors. This paper, grounded in the classical evolutionary game theory, explores the interaction mechanism of supply chain GTI decision-making between suppliers and manufacturers under stochastic interferences and in the continuous strategy space.

Tunable Generation of Spatial Entanglement in Nonlinear Waveguide Arrays.

Phys Rev Lett

December 2024

Université Paris Cité, CNRS, Laboratoire Matériaux et Phénomènes Quantiques, 75013 Paris, France.

Harnessing high-dimensional entangled states of light presents a frontier for advancing quantum information technologies, from fundamental tests of quantum mechanics to enhanced computation and communication protocols. In this context, the spatial degree of freedom stands out as particularly suited for on-chip integration. But while traditional demonstrations produce and manipulate path-entangled states sequentially with discrete optical elements, continuously coupled nonlinear waveguide systems offer a promising alternative where photons can be generated and interfere along the entire propagation length, unveiling novel capabilities within a reduced footprint.

Landau Rainbow Induced by Artificial Gauge Fields.

Phys Rev Lett

December 2024

New Cornerstone Science Laboratory, Department of Physics, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China.

The ability to generate Landau levels using a pseudomagnetic field (PMF), also called an artificial gauge field, opens up new pathways for exploring fundamental physics and developing novel applications based on topological protection. In this Letter, we simultaneously realize a PMF and a pseudoelectric field (PEF) on a photonic crystal platform and observe a rainbow effect of the Landau zeroth modes. While a PMF induces a series of discretized Landau levels of photons in a similar way as the quantum Hall effect for electrons, a PEF breaks the degeneracy of the flat band of Landau levels over a broad range.

Two types of neuron models are constructed in this paper, namely the single discrete memristive synaptic neuron model and the dual discrete memristive synaptic neuron model. Firstly, it is proved that both models have only one unstable equilibrium point. Then, the influence of the coupling strength parameters and neural membrane amplification coefficient of the corresponding system of the two models on the rich dynamical behavior of the systems is analyzed.
