Of the geometry of light

A German-Japanese research team applies quantum geometry to non-Hermitian photonic systems, introducing a new degree of complexity. They develop a method to measure the quantum metric directly, enabling the creation of programmable artificial potentials for light and new design possibilities for photonic systems.

Six years in 120 pages: Researchers shed light on Ricci flows

The study resolves the Hamilton-Tian conjecture, which posits that most space is perfect, while singularities can be restricted to low-dimensional spaces. This breakthrough has far-reaching implications for studies of Ricci flows, thermal expansion, and contraction.
