Abstract

Semiconductor nanoparticles and nanostructures in the strong coupling regime exhibit an intriguing energy scale in the optical frequencies, which is specified by the Rabi splitting between the upper and lower exciton-polariton states. Technically, exciton-polaritons are part-light, part-matter quasiparticles that arise from the strong interaction of excitonic substances and photonic platforms. In this work, using full-wave numerical and theoretical studies, we showed the emergence of strong light-matter coupling between the nonradiating anapole states from an individual semiconductor nanodisk coupled to a J-aggregate fluorescent dye molecule resonating in the visible spectrum. By demonstrating the physical mechanism behind the observed energy splitting for various Lorentzian linewidth of excitonic material, we theoretically confirmed the obtained spectral responses by conducting photoluminescence spectroscopy analysis. The coupling of anapole resonances in semiconductor nanoparticles with excitonic levels can propose interesting possibilities for the control of directional light scattering in the strong coupling limit, and the dynamic tuning of deep-subwavelength light-matter coupled states by external stimuli.

Nonlinear Magneto-Optical Probing of Time-Reversal Symmetry Breaking

Solid-state harmonic generation provides a nonlinear probe of symmetries encoded in electronic wave functions. In the subgap and weak-injection regime, time reversal pairs the harmonic responses driven by fields of opposite ellipticity, strongly suppressing elliptical dichroism in time-reversal-symmetric crystals. We show that, in a magnetic crystal, spin-orbit coupling transfers time-reversal-symmetry breaking from the spin sector to the orbital wave functions and lifts this pairing through the geometric phases of the electric-dipole current. Semiconductor-Bloch-equation calculations for centrosymmetric bilayer Cr2Ge2Te6 predict pronounced third-harmonic elliptical dichroism that reverses with the magnetization. Under linearly polarized driving, SOC-induced geometric-phase accumulation generates a nonlinear transverse current and strongly enhances the harmonic rotation and ellipticity. These results identify the geometric phase as a key microscopic contribution to the nonlinear magneto-optical response. This work establishes helicity-resolved harmonic emission and nonlinear polarimetry as complementary probes of spin-orbit-coupled magnetic order.

Spatiotemporal topological phase transitions in photonic spacetime crystals

Topological phase transitions have played a central role in topological physics. However, such transitions have so far been restricted to spatial or temporal crystals. Here, we transcend this conventional framework and report, for the first time, spatiotemporal topological phase transitions in photonic spacetime crystals - structures that are periodically modulated in both space and time. In a genuine photonic spacetime crystal composed of a dynamically modulated transmission-line metamaterial, we theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate complete spatiotemporal topological phase transitions, characterized by the closing and reopening of both energy and momentum band gaps, along with changes in spatiotemporal topological invariants and topological phases. Furthermore, we directly observe a spatiotemporal, topologically localized state that exhibits causality-governed excitation and robustness to spatiotemporal disorders. Our findings reveal the interplay among space, time, and topology, establishing a unified framework that provides a comprehensive picture of the emerging topological spacetime physics and opening new avenues for robust spatiotemporal topological wave manipulations.

High-Resolution Sensing via Quantum States Discrimination

High-resolution sensing plays a significant role in scientific research and industrial production, but the practical implementation is constrained by the physical mechanisms of the sensors. To address the critical limitation, we propose a high-resolution sensing approach based on quantum state discrimination. Distinct from conventional strategies, the proposed approach constructs measurement operators in the orthogonal complement space rather than eigenspace of the eigenstate, thereby notably improving the discriminability among quantum states. Moreover, the experimental results via an optical microcavity demonstrate a potential sensing resolution of 4 $\times$ 10\textsuperscript{-6} \degree C and 18 p$ε$ respectively for temperature and strain, and further verify the feasibility of simultaneous sensing of the two parameters. This work establishs a universal approach for high-resolution sensing, and may be extended to different sensing platforms across various application scenarios.
