报告题目：Topological and nonreciprocal dynamics in optomechanics

报告摘要：Non-Hermitian systems exhibit rich physical phenomena that open the door to qualitatively new forms of control. Here I will introduce our recent works on topological and nonreciprocal dynamics in non-Hermitian optomechanical systems [Nature 537, 80 (2016); Nature 568, 65 (2019)]. Specifically, we realized topological energy transfer by adiabatically encircling an exceptional point (a singularity of the complex spectrum). We also demonstrated that this energy transfer is non-reciprocal: a certain topological operation can only transfer energy in one direction. Furthermore, we realized stable nonreciprocal coupling between phonon modes with optomechanical interference. We achieved phonon isolation which can be tuned continuously over a wide range from -30dB to 30dB. We showed the nonreciprocal phonon transfer as a new way to control the thermal fluctuation of phonon modes by controlling laser phases.
