The importance of the quantum metric in flat-band systems has been noticed recently in many contexts such as the superfluid stiffness, the dc electrical conductivity, and ideal Chern insulators. Both the quantum metric of degenerate and…
A classical particle in a constant magnetic field undergoes cyclotron motion on a circular orbit. At the quantum level, the fact that all classical orbits are closed gives rise to degeneracies in the spectrum. It is well-known that the…
Three-dimensional topological insulators are characterized by the presence of a bandgap in their bulk and gapless Dirac fermions at their surfaces. New physical phenomena originating from the presence of the Dirac fermions are predicted to…
We proposed a model of Quantum Cable in analogy to the recently synthesized coaxial nanocable structure [Suenaga et al. Science, 278, 653 (1997); Zhang et al. ibid, 281, 973 (1998)], and studied its single-electron subband structure. Our…

The presence of degeneracies can considerably worsen the measure of the neutrino oscillation parameters $\theta_{13}$ and $\delta$. We study the physics reach of a specific ``CERN'' setup, using a standard $\beta$-Beam and Super-Beam…

We consider the role of degeneracy in Parity-Time (PT) symmetry breaking for non-hermitian wave equations beyond one dimension. We show that if the spectrum is degenerate in the absence of T-breaking, and T is broken in a generic manner…
An anomalous flat-band dispersion provided by a degenerate band edge (DBE) of longitudinal optical modes in a double-grating waveguide is used to enhance second-harmonic generation (SHG). The DBE is a fourth-order exceptional point…
