Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a frontier of fundamental physics. Yet in laboratories around the world, carefully ...

Schrödinger dynamics inspired novel wave physics explorations, including symmetry design, Floquet topology, adiabatic pumping, non-Hermitian dynamics, non-Abelian physics and nonlinear phenomena. In a ...

UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering postdoctoral researcher Hong Qiao is the first author of a new paper demonstrating deterministic phase control of the mechanical vibrations known as ...
