We show that single-mode nonclassicality of the output of an optomechanical cavity and the noncausal linear optical response of this cavity emerge at the same critical cavity-mechanical coupling. In other words, single-mode nonclassicality…
In gauge theory, it is commonly stated that time-reversal symmetry only exists at $\theta=0$ or $\pi$ for a $2\pi$-periodic $\theta$-angle. In this paper, we point out that in both the free Maxwell theory and massive QED, there is a…
We consider a nonlinear microcavity separating a waveguide channel into two parts so as the coupling between them is possible only due to the resonant properties of the microcavity. We provide a rigorous derivation of the equations used in…
Temporal interfaces introduced by abrupt switching of the constitutive parameters of unbounded media enable unusual wave phenomena. So far, their explorations have been mostly limited to lossless media. Yet, non-Hermitian phenomena…

Nonreciprocal wave propagation allows for directional energy transport. In this work, we systematically investigate wave dynamics in an elastic lattice that combines nonreciprocal stiffness with viscous damping. After establishing how…
In dynamics and vibrations, the concept of bandwidth for linear time-invariant systems is widely recognized as a measure of the dispersion of frequency content around resonance. Similarly, the time constant is associated with the rate of…
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…
Time dependent systems do not in general conserve energy invalidating much of the theory developed for static systems and turning our intuition on its head. This is particularly acute in luminal space time crystals where the structure moves…
This is a survey paper about reciprocal processes. The bridges of a Markov process are also Markov. But an arbitrary mixture of these bridges fails to be Markov in general. However, it still enjoys the interesting properties of a reciprocal…

Control of the electromagnetic waves in nano-scale structured materials is central to the development of next generation photonic circuits and devices. In this context, hyperbolic metamaterials, where elliptical isofrequency surfaces are…
We analyze the possible interaction-induced superconducting instabilities in noncentrosymmetric systems based on symmetries of the normal state. It is proven that pure electron-phonon coupling will always lead to a fully gapped…
In this paper, it is shown that non-reciprocity can be observed in time-varying media without employing spatio-temporal modulated permittivities. We show that by using only two one dimensional Fabry-Perot slabs with time-periodic…
The aim of this manuscript is to obtain rigidity and non-existence results for parabolic spacelike submanifolds with causal mean curvature vector field in orthogonally splitted spacetimes, and in particular, in globally hyperbolic…
We address the issue of whether amplification, like absorption, suppresses wave transmission at large gain, as has been claimed in previous studies of wave propagation in active random media. A closer examination reveals that the…
We propose an alternative scheme for nonreciprocal light propagation in two coupled cavities system, in which a two-level quantum emitter is coupled to one of the optical microcavities. For the case of parity-time (\textrm{PT}) system…
