Pair interaction potentials between atoms in a crystal are in general non-monotonic in distance, with a local minimum whose position gives the lattice constant of the crystal. A temporal analogue of this idea of crystal formation is still…

Moving media break time-reversal symmetry and exhibit intriguing optical nonreciprocity. This nonreciprocity is usually weak due to the much lower moving speed of media relative to the speed of light. We demonstrate that strong optical…
