The asymptotic form of the wave functions describing a freely expanding Lieb-Liniger gas is derived by using a Fermi-Bose transformation for time-dependent states, and the stationary phase approximation. We find that asymptotically the wave functions approach the Tonks-Girardeau (TG) structure as they vanish when any two of the particle coordinates coincide. We point out that the properties of these asymptotic states can significantly differ from the properties of a TG gas in a ground state of an external potential. The dependence of the asymptotic wave function on the initial state is discussed. The analysis encompasses a large class of initial conditions, including the ground states of a Lieb-Liniger gas in physically realistic external potentials. It is also demonstrated that the interaction energy asymptotically decays as a universal power law with time, E-int proportional to t(-3).

Nonlinear tuning of PT symmetry and non-Hermitian topological states

Shiqi Xia, Dimitrios Kaltsas, Daohong Song, Ioannis Komis, Jingjun Xu, Alexander Szameit, Hrvoje Buljan, Konstantinos G. Makris, Zhigang Chen

Summary: The study established a nonlinear non-Hermitian topological platform for active tuning of PT symmetry and topological states, revealing the interaction between sensitivity close to exceptional points and the robustness of non-Hermitian topological states. The research provides opportunities for unconventional light manipulation and device applications through single-channel control of global PT symmetry and topology via local nonlinearity.

Wavepacket Self-Rotation and Helical Zitterbewegung in Symmetry-Broken Honeycomb Lattices

Xiuying Liu, Frane Lunic, Daohong Song, Zhixuan Dai, Shiqi Xia, Liqin Tang, Jingjun Xu, Zhigang Chen, Hrvoje Buljan

Summary: Pseudospins arising from valley degrees of freedom in photonic structures have become a powerful tool for manipulating the flow of light, allowing for wavepacket self-rotation induced by Berry phase and resulting in Zitterbewegung oscillations. The frequency of Zitterbewegung is proportional to the gap size, while the helicity of self-rotation is valley-dependent, correlated with the Berry curvature. These findings provide new insights into the Zitterbewegung phenomenon from a topological perspective and have potential applications in other platforms such as 2D Dirac materials and ultracold atoms.

Nonlinear control of photonic higher-order topological bound states in the continuum

Zhichan Hu, Domenico Bongiovanni, Dario Jukic, Ema Jajtic, Shiqi Xia, Daohong Song, Jingjun Xu, Roberto Morandotti, Hrvoje Buljan, Zhigang Chen

Summary: This study uncovered the interplay of nonlinearity, higher-order topology, and BICs in a photonic platform, where topological corner states that are also BICs were observed. The authors further demonstrated the nonlinear coupling of these states with edge modes under the action of self-focusing and defocusing nonlinearities. Theoretical calculations showed that a topological BIC can be actively tuned by nonlinearity in such a photonic HOTI, with potential applications in emerging topology-driven devices.

Dynamically Emerging Topological Phase Transitions in Nonlinear Interacting Soliton Lattices

Domenico Bongiovanni, Dario Jukic, Zhichan Hu, Frane Lunic, Yi Hu, Daohong Song, Roberto Morandotti, Zhigang Chen, Hrvoje Buljan

Summary: In the evolving Su-Schrieffer-Heeger lattices made of interacting soliton arrays, dynamical topological phase transitions occur entirely driven by nonlinearity. The transitions involve a periodic shift from topologically trivial-to-nontrivial phases, with crossovers from topologically nontrivial-to-trivial regimes. The signature of the phase transition is the closing and reopening of the gap, where extended states become localized topological edge states through decoupling from the lattice bulk.

Sub-symmetry-protected topological states

Ziteng Wang, Xiangdong Wang, Zhichan Hu, Domenico Bongiovanni, Dario Jukic, Liqin Tang, Daohong Song, Roberto Morandotti, Zhigang Chen, Hrvoje Buljan

Summary: Some topological boundary states are protected by sub-symmetry, even if the full symmetry and topological invariant are destroyed. By introducing a weaker sub-symmetry requirement, researchers find that the nature of boundary state protection is more complex than previously believed. Experimental demonstrations in photonic lattices show the sub-symmetry protection of topological states and the resolution of debates on the higher-order topological nature of corner states in breathing kagome lattices. These findings have implications beyond photonics and can be applied to explore symmetry-protected topological phases in different physical contexts.

Realization of photonic p-orbital higher-order topological insulators

Yahui Zhang, Domenico Bongiovanni, Ziteng Wang, Xiangdong Wang, Shiqi Xia, Zhichan Hu, Daohong Song, Dario Jukic, Jingjun Xu, Roberto Morandotti, Hrvoje Buljan, Zhigang Chen

Summary: The orbital degrees of freedom play a pivotal role in understanding fundamental phenomena in solid-state materials as well as exotic quantum states of matter. High orbitals in higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) have not been realized, but p-orbital corner states have been demonstrated in a photonic HOTI, unveiling their underlying topological invariant and symmetry protection.

Robustness versus sensitivity in non-Hermitian topological lattices probed by pseudospectra

Ioannis Komis, Dimitrios Kaltsas, Shiqi Xia, Hrvoje Buljan, Zhigang Chen, Konstantinos G. Makris

Summary: This article studies the properties of non-Hermitian topological systems under different perturbations. By studying the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger lattice, it is found that the topological modes around the underlying third-order exceptional point are robust against chiral perturbations but sensitive to diagonal perturbations.

Exactly solvable model for anyons with non-Abelian flux

Bruno Klajn, Silvije Domazet, Dario Jukic, Hrvoje Buljan

Summary: An exactly solvable model for synthetic anyons carrying non-Abelian flux is proposed in this study. The system, which corresponds to a two-dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field with specific spin interaction, displays twofold degeneracy in the ground state subspace. Perturbing the system with identical solenoids carrying a non-Abelian gauge potential reveals the dynamics of ground state behaving as anyons with non-Abelian flux. This system serves as a middle ground between ordinary Abelian anyons and fully non-Abelian anyons.

Modulation instability in the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a synthetic magnetic field: Gauge matters

Karlo Lelas, Ozana Celan, David Prelogovic, Hrvoje Buljan, Dario Jukic

Summary: In this study, we investigated the modulation instability of systems obeying the nonlinear Schrödinger equation under the influence of an external homogeneous synthetic magnetic field. The choice of gauge used to describe the magnetic field affects the stability regions in momentum space and the time evolution in real space. Despite appearances, the gauge invariance is not actually broken, as evolving the system from identical initial conditions in different gauges is equivalent to suddenly turning on the synthetic magnetic field at t = 0, resulting in different effects on the wave packet.
