In a closed system, it is well known that the time-reversal symmetry can lead to Kramers degeneracy and protect nontrivial topological states such as quantum spin Hall insulator. In this letter we address the issue whether these effects are…
Time-reversal symmetry is important to optics. In linear optics, a time-reversed process to laser emission enables total absorption of coherent light fields into an optical cavity of loss by time-reversing the original gain medium. In…
Dynamic and steady state aspects of wave propagation are deeply connected in lossless open systems in which the scattering matrix is unitary. There is then an equivalence among the energy excited within the medium, the Wigner time delay,…
