Dissipation Alters Modes of Information Encoding in Small Quantum Reservoirs near Criticality by Krai Cheamsawat, Thiparat Chotibut

“…Here, we investigate a minimal model of a driven-dissipative quantum reservoir described by two coupled Kerr-nonlinear oscillators, an experimentally realizable platform that features controllable coupling, intrinsic nonlinearity, and tunable photon loss. Using Partial Information Decomposition (PID), we examine how different dynamical regimes encode input drive signals in terms of <i>redundancy</i> (information shared by each oscillator) and <i>synergy</i> (information accessible only through their joint observation). …”

Dynamical control of topological unidirectional guided resonances via external magnetic field by Bao Jie Zheng, Wei Jie Shi, Hui Yuan Dong, Yong Tao Li, Jia Qi Li, Zheng-Gao Dong, Jin Wang

“…Asymmetric radiation in upward and downward directions supported by leaky modes can be generally exhibited in the reciprocal but geometrical up-down mirror-symmetry-breaking structures, i.e., photonic crystal slabs. Here, we theoretically propose and numerically demonstrate a scheme to break the reciprocity, and to generate and manipulate the unidirectional guided resonances (UGRs) in a one-dimensional magneto-optical (MO) grating, which radiate solely toward one side with no emission in the opposite direction. …”
