Exceptional points are degeneracies in non-Hermitian systems. A two-state system with parity-time (PT) symmetry usually has only one exceptional point beyond which the eigenmodes are PT-symmetry broken. The so-called symmetry recovery,…

Because phononic topological insulators have primarily been studied in discrete, graphene-like structures with C$_{6}$ or C$_{3}$ hexagonal symmetry, an open question is how to systematically achieve double Dirac cones and topologically…
Graphene is famous for being a host of 2D Dirac fermions. However, spin-orbit coupling introduces a small gap, so that graphene is formally a quantum spin hall insulator. Here we present symmetry-protected 2D Dirac semimetals, which feature…

We reveal the continuous phase transition in anyonic-PT symmetric systems, contrasting with the discontinuous phase transition corresponding to the discrete (anti-) PT symmetry. The continuous phase transition originates from the continuity…
We examine one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) models of linearly coupled lattices of the discrete-nonlinear-Schr{\"{o}}dinger type. Analyzing ground states of the systems with equal powers in the two components, we find a…
We discuss an attempt to understand confinement and dynamical symmetry breaking in a 4-dimensional non-supersymmetric gauge theory using S-duality in type IIB string theory. The electric theory is a USp(2n) gauge theory and its magnetic…
In quantum mechanics, accidental degeneracy refers to energy degeneracy that occurs coincidentally, without any protection by symmetry. Here, we prove a theorem stating that any two-fold degeneracy (accidental or not) in a quantum system is…
Efficient control of phonons is crucial to energy-information technology, but limited by the lacking of tunable degrees of freedom like charge or spin. Here we suggest to utilize crystalline symmetry-protected pseudospins as new quantum…
