We propose a mechanism for insulator-to-metal (IM) transitions driven by the mismatch of quantized formal polarization (QFP), a symmetry-protected bulk invariant. For a material with a low-symmetry insulating phase and a high-symmetry phase…

Monolayer In$_2$Se$3$ exhibits unexpected in-plane polarization, despite having $C_{3v}$ symmetry, a feature that was traditionally considered forbidden by symmetry. To explain this remarkable behavior, Ji et al. proposed the concept of…

Ferroelectricity, a hallmark of spontaneous inversion-symmetry breaking, has been a central concept in condensed matter physics and functional materials research, yet recent discoveries are revealing that switchable polarization can emerge…

We generalize the modern theory of electric polarization to the case of one-dimensional non-Hermitian systems with line-gapped spectrum. In these systems, the electronic position operator is non-Hermitian even when projected into the…

We define and study the notion of quantum polarity, which is a kind of geometric Fourier transform between sets of positions and sets of momenta. Extending previous work of ours, we show that the orthogonal projections of the covariance…

The optical responses of metals are often dominated by plasmonic resonances - the collective oscillations of interacting electron liquids. Here we unveil a new class of plasmons - quantum metric plasmons (QMPs) - that arise in a wide range…

We calculate the zero temperature electrostatic properties of charged one and two dimensional arrays of rings, in the classical and quantum limits. Each ring is assumed to be an ideal ring of negligible width, with exactly one electron on…

Partial polarization is the manifestation of the correlation between two mutually orthogonal transverse field components associated with a light beam. We show both theoretically and experimentally that the origin of this correlation can be…

Within the new description of the polarization structure of quantum light (given in Part I) some types of generalized coherent states related to the polarization SU(2) group are examined. With their help we give a quasiclassical description…

The quantum-mechanical expression for the polarization of a crystalline solid does not bear any resemblance to the (trivial) expression for the dipole of a bounded crystallite; and in fact it has been proved via a conceptually different…

Recent theoretical and experimental advances in quantum ferroelectrics suggest that ferroelectricity can also emerge in non-polar space group, highlighting the limitations of conventional polar space group criteria in identifying…
