Non-Hermitian systems can have peculiar degeneracies of eigenstates called exceptional points (EPs). An EP of $n$ degenerate states is said to have order $n$, and higher-order EPs (HEPs) with $n \ge 3$ exhibit intrinsic order-scaling…

We consider a category-level perception problem, where one is given 2D or 3D sensor data picturing an object of a given category (e.g., a car), and has to reconstruct the 3D pose and shape of the object despite intra-class variability…

Celestial holography expresses $\mathcal{S}$-matrix elements as correlators in a CFT living on the night sky. Poincar\'e invariance imposes additional selection rules on the allowed positions of operators. As a consequence, $n$-point…

We introduce higher-order topological Dirac superconductor (HOTDSC) as a new gapless topological phase of matter in three dimensions, which extends the notion of Dirac phase to a higher-order topological version. Topologically distinct from…
