Fractal Photonic AFTIs: A New Platform for High-Capacity Quantum Information Transmission

Anomalous Floquet topological insulator (AFTI) is a periodically driven topological insulator (TI), which has nonzero winding numbers to support topological edge modes, though its standard topological invariants like Chern numbers are zero.

Quadratic Twist: The Secret Weapon Against Quantum Attacks on Digital Signatures

A lone ranger riding off into the sunset might say something sage and vague, such as “a man is only as good as his word.” But these gritty prophets never said anything about verifying a man’s — or anyone else’s — word in the wild frontiers of the digital or quantum era.
