Topological Phases of Sound and Light

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: In everyday life, if sound propagates from one location to another, it can propagate backwards just as easily. However, theorists show that it is possible to harness the radiation pressure interaction between light and matter to produce unidirectional sound propagation.
