Chiral edge states that propagate oppositely at two parallel strip edges are a hallmark feature of Chern insulators which were first proposed in the celebrated two-dimensional (2D) Haldane model. Subsequently, counterintuitive antichiral same direction discovered 2D modified Recently, chiral surface states, extension one-dimensional (1D) have also been observed photonic analogue 3D However, despite many recent advances and 1D never realized any physical system.

For the classification of topological phases matter, an important consideration is whether a system spinless or spinful, as these two classes have distinct symmetry algebra that gives rise to fundamentally different phases. However, only recently has it been realized theoretically in presence gauge symmetry, algebraic structure symmetries can be projectively represented, which possibly enables switch between and spinful Here, we report experimental demonstration this idea by realizing...

Dirac cones (DCs) play a pivotal role in various unique phenomena ranging from massless electrons graphene to robust surface states topological insulators (TIs). Recent studies have theoretically revealed full hierarchy comprising an eightfold bulk DC, fourfold and twofold hinge associated with of phases including first-order third-order three-dimensional (3D) insulators, using the same 3D base lattice. Here, we report first experimental observation acoustic TIs. Using measurements,...

We report the experimental realization of a new type topology-controlled photonic cavities in valley crystals by adopting judiciously oriented mirrors to localize valley-polarized edge states along their propagation path. By using microwave frequency- and time-domain measurements, we directly observe strong confinement electromagnetic energy at mirror surface due extended time delay required for index flipping. Moreover, experimentally demonstrate that both degree localization quality...

The valley topological phases and transport phenomena for classical waves have attracted a great deal of attention. We realize spin Chern insulators in bilayer phononic crystals square lattice, whose invariants are described by the numbers with layer pseudospin. Four types nontrivial can be realized tuning heights cavities, which result layer-mixed, layer-polarized, layer-locked acoustic kink states. Interestingly, we experimentally demonstrate anomalous layer-dependent partition transports...

The AdS/CFT correspondence, also known as the gravity/gauge duality, posits a dual relationship between theory of gravity in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space and conformal field (CFT) defined on its lower-dimensional boundary. This correspondence provides means mapping problems from one to other, offering insights into quantum theory. Despite importance contemporary physics, remains conjecture, further experimental investigation is highly sought after. Here, we experimentally explore both...

The Bloch band theory and Brillouin zone (BZ) that characterize wave behaviors in periodic mediums are two cornerstones of contemporary physics ranging from condensed matter to topological physics. Recent theoretical breakthrough revealed that, under the projective symmetry algebra enforced by artificial gauge fields, usual two-dimensional (2D) BZ (orientable two-torus) can be fundamentally modified a non-orientable Klein bottle with radically distinct topology novel phases. However,...
