Thanks to @NSF and @northropgrumman for supporting this research.

[Avik Dutt @DuttAvik]

Here we show how synthetic dimensions can be extended to non-square lattice geometries, including hexagonal and Haldane-like lattices, which have been a cornerstone for hosting exotic phases of light and matter, e.g. anomalous quantum Hall effects.

[Avik Dutt @DuttAvik]

This scheme should be realizable in current state-of-the-art nanophotonic platforms, as established by our theory and numerical simulations.

Our recent paper by @smrthsrrm and Sashank @twomodesqueezed was highlighted as an Editor's Pick by Optical Materials Express -- a part of the special issue on "Floquet engineered materials and systems"!

In short, we see ~100X improvement in accuracy for nm-scale perturbations in multimode silicon nanophotonics!

@AlbanSauret @UofMaryland @umdme @ClarkSchool Welcome to UMD, Alban! Excited to have you as a colleague in the department, and looking forward to your continued excellent work.

[Avik Dutt @DuttAvik]

Reposting as the best consideration date (Nov 1) approaches: our group at @UofMaryland has an opening for a postdoctoral fellow at the intersection of #Math and #Quantum Information Science. Please help spread the word!

New work, cool stuff https://t.co/fhzbrOse1F

[Martin Bauer @martinmbauer]

Feynman is right. The goal of physics isn't to find theories that are philosophically or psychologically pleasing to humans. The goal is to find theories that describe nature as accurately as possible

[Avik Dutt @DuttAvik]

Our FloQuET lab has been awarded the @NSF CAREER. Stay tuned for exciting results on #nanophotonic synthetic dimensions for #quantum simulation & sensing by students supported on this grant! Popular summary: https://t.co/b5POkFba5n

@AnilZenginoglu @VergaraLautaro @the_happyproton I agree. I'm in disagreement with the usual definition of quantum being things on the microscopic scale. The size of a *single* photon can be macroscopic, e.g. a photon in a collimated cm-wide Gaussian beam. Pauli's exclusion pushes it to neutron-star scales like you mentioned.

[Avik Dutt @DuttAvik]

@suhas_prameela @UUtah Congratulations Suhas! Wish you the best, and excited to see the cool work that will come out of your new group!

[Avik Dutt @DuttAvik]

"We discuss [...approaches towards...] realizing the major goals of integrated nonlinear photonics such as broadband frequency conversion, frequency-comb generation, quantum light sources and nonlinear optical quantum logic gates."

[Avik Dutt @DuttAvik]

Our review on Nonlinear and Quantum Photonics based on high-confinement platforms is out in @NatRevMater, with @mohanty_aseema @gaetalab @Michallipson. Hope this is useful both to early-career scientists and experienced researchers! Thanks @Giulia_Pacc

Congratulations, Antoine, on the publication of the final paper from your PhD!

[Antoine Henry, Ph.D. @QuantumAntoine]

Thanks to the broadband emission bandwidth, we perform a proof of concept of a trusted-node-free, fully connected network between 5 users. Here is the link to the paper:
