Abstract
Modern photonic and quantum technologies demand reciprocity breaking, e.g., isolators, full-duplex systems, noise isolation in quantum computers, motivating searching for practical approaches beyond magnet-based devices. This work overviews the up-and-coming advances in optical nonreciprocity, including new materials (Weyl semimetals, topological insulators, metasurfaces), active structures, time-modulation, PT-symmetry breaking, nonlinearity, quantum nonlinearity, unidirectional gain and loss, chiral quantum states, and valley polarization.
