Integrable boundary states can be built up from pair annihilation amplitudes called $K$-matrices. These amplitudes are related to mirror reflections and they both satisfy Yang Baxter equations, which can be twisted or untwisted. We relate…
Phase and amplitude modes are emergent phenomena that manifest across diverse physical systems, from condensed matter and particle physics to quantum optics. Also called polariton modes, we study their behavior in an anisotropic Dicke model…
