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.

Modern mathematical proofs changing due to collaborations, computers

Key findings suggest that modern mathematical proofs are becoming increasingly difficult to verify, as they often rely on preprint servers and lack peer review. This shift may lead to a new generation of mathematicians following a paradigm that prioritizes dissemination over validation.
