We introduce topological phases in Photonic Time-Crystals. Photonic Time-Crystals are materials in which the refractive index varies periodically and abruptly in time. When the refractive index changes abruptly, the light propagating in the…
A sudden change in material properties creates a temporal interface and forces a propagating wave to change its frequency while preserving its wavenumber. In contrast to monoatomic lattices with a single frequency-wavenumber pair,…
We study a quasi-one-dimensional non-reciprocal Hermitian hourglass photonic lattice that can accomplish multiple functions. Under the effect of non-reciprocal coupling, this lattice can produce an energy isolation effect, two kinds of flat…

The transmission of photons through a pair of coupled single-mode waveguides is studied in detail. It is assumed that one of the waveguides is coupled to a non-Markovian reservoir, described by a Lorentzian spectrum distribution. We…
Time reversal of quantum dynamics can be achieved by a global change of the Hamiltonian sign (a hasty Loschmidt daemon), as in the Loschmidt Echo experiments in NMR, or by a local but persistent procedure (a stubborn daemon) as in the Time…
The optical Faraday effect describes the rotation of linear polarization upon propagation through a medium in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field. The effect arises from a different phase delay between the right and left handed…

A change in the sign of the frequency of a wave between two inertial reference frames corresponds to a reversal of the phase velocity. Yet from the point of view of the relation $E=\hbar\omega$, a positive quantum of energy apparently…
