We establish non-Hermitian topological mechanics in one dimensional (1D) and two dimensional (2D) lattices consisting of mass points connected by meta-beams that lead to odd elasticity. Extended from the "non-Hermitian skin effect" in 1D…

Lattice gauge theories describe fundamental phenomena in nature, but calculating their real-time dynamics on classical computers is notoriously difficult. In a recent publication [Nature 534, 516 (2016)], we proposed and experimentally…

In this article, we put forward a practical but generic approach towards constructing a large family of $(3+1)$ dimension lattice models which can naturally lead to a single Weyl cone in the infrared (IR) limit. Our proposal relies on…
We construct a two-dimensional tight-binding model of an optical lattice, where the low energy excitations should be described by the spin-1 Maxwell equations in the Hamiltonian form, and such linear dispersion excitations with pesudospin-1…
A spin 1/2 system on a honeycomb lattice is studied. The interactions between nearest neighbors are of XX, YY or ZZ type, depending on the direction of the link; different types of interactions may differ in strength. The model is solved…
We discuss interacting fermion models in two dimensions, and, in particular, such that can be solved exactly by bosonization. One solvable model of this kind was proposed by Mattis as an effective description of fermions on a square…
It has been demonstrated numerically, mainly by considering ground state properties, that fractional quantum Hall physics can appear in lattice systems, but it is very difficult to study the anyons directly. Here, I propose to solve this…
The three-dimensional complexified exteriour bundle $C \otimes \Lambda(R^3)$ is proposed as a geometric interpretation of electroweak doublets of Dirac fermions. The Dirac equation on this bundle allows a staggered discretization on a…
