BEYOND THE MAIN THREAD

From anomalies in driven systems to quantum measurement and mathematical questions, this page brings together interests and early explorations beyond our main research themes. Asking questions is part of research.

Floquet engineering & momentum gaps

• Floquet engineering in optics and condensed matters: Floquet engineering is a paradigm of tailoring and manipulating a system by a periodic drive [Nature Communications (2022); Laser & Photon. Rev. (2022); Laser & Photon. Rev. (2015)].

Floquet engineering: tune the drive and watch the band and the spreading of light change

• Momentum gaps (k-gaps) and energy-momentum gaps(ωk-gaps) [PRL 130, 233801 (2023)]

“Mind the gap!” — gap types at a glance. Light → dark: less is known; dashed: forbidden.

Between anomalies, measurement and mathematics

These questions and figures are retained from our research notes. The suggested connection between the Riemann hypothesis and quantum mechanics is an exploratory question, not a proven equivalence.

• Floquet gauge anomalies in periodically driven systems: Anomalies are not dangerous, and they are ubiquitous associated with quantum vacuum and topology. We are focusing on exploring anomalies in driven systems [Physical Review Letters 130, 223403 (2023); ].

• Weak measurement and its realizations. Weak measurement can demonstrate the transition from quantum to classical [Light Science & Applications 12:267 (2023); Nature Physics, 16(12), 1206-1210 (2020).]. However, decoherence only leads to the statistics.

From weak to projective measurement: drag the sliders to change the measurement strength

AI & free electrons: early notes

• Prompt engineering for writing and free electron quantum neural networks

Three principles of prompt engineering:

Principle 1: be very specific in yourinstructions.

Principle 2: is to ask GPT-3 to break itswork into small chunks.

Principle 3: ask GPT-3 to check and improve its own output.

Free-electron quantum neural networks:

I know nothing yet... But I will.

PDENet database:
