Previous methods for determining photonic quasicrystal (PQC) spectra have relied on the use of large supercells to compute the eigenfrequencies and/or local density of states (LDOS). In this manuscript, we present a method by which the energy spectrum and the eigenstates of a PQC can be obtained by solving Maxwells equations in higher dimensions for any PQC defined by the standard cut-and-project construction, to which a generalization of Blochs theorem applies. In addition, we demonstrate how one can compute band structures with defect states in the higher-dimensional superspace with no additional computational cost. As a proof of concept, these general ideas are demonstrated for the simple case of one-dimensional quasicrystals, which can also be solved by simple transfer-matrix techniques.

In conventional Hermitian systems with the open boundary condition, Blochs theorem is perturbatively broken down, which means although the crystal momentum is not a good quantum number, the eigenstates are the superposition of several extended Bloch
waves. In this paper, we show that Blochs theorem can be non-perturbatively broken down in some Hermitian Bosonic systems. The quasiparticles of the system are the superposition of localized non-Bloch waves, which are characterized by the complex momentum whose imaginary part determines the localization properties. Our work is a Hermitian generalization of the non-Hermitian skin effect, although they share the same mechanism.
We present a generalization of Blochs theorem to finite-range lattice systems of independent fermions, in which translation symmetry is broken only by arbitrary boundary conditions, by providing exact, analytic expressions for all energy eigenvalues
and eigenstates. By transforming the single-particle Hamiltonian into a corner-modified banded block-Toeplitz matrix, a key step is a bipartition of the lattice, which splits the eigenvalue problem into a system of bulk and boundary equations. The eigensystem inherits most of its solutions from an auxiliary, infinite translation-invariant Hamiltonian that allows for non-unitary representations of translation symmetry. A reformulation of the boundary equation in terms of a boundary matrix ensures compatibility with the boundary conditions, and determines the allowed energy eigenstates. We show how the boundary matrix captures the interplay between bulk and boundary properties, leading to efficient indicators of bulk-boundary correspondence. Remarkable consequences of our generalized Bloch theorem are the engineering of Hamiltonians that host perfectly localized, robust zero-energy edge modes, and the predicted emergence, e.g. in Kitaevs chain, of localized excitations whose amplitudes decay exponentially with a power-law prefactor. We further show how the theorem yields diagonalization algorithms for the class of Hamiltonians under consideration, and use the proposed bulk-boundary indicator to characterize the topological response of a multi-band time-reversal invariant s-wave superconductor under twisted boundary conditions, showing how a fractional Josephson effect can occur without a fermionic parity switch. Finally, we establish connections to the transfer matrix method and demonstrate, using the paradigmatic Kitaevs chain example, that a non-diagonalizable transfer matrix signals the presence of solutions with a power-law prefactor.
Metasurface, a kind of two-dimensional structured medium, represents a novel platform to manipulate the propagation of light at subwavelength scale. In linear optical regime, many interesting topics such as planar metalens, metasurface optical hologr
aphy and so on have been widely investigated. Recently, metasurfaces go into nonlinear optical regime. While it is recognized that the local symmetry of the meta-atoms plays vital roles, its relationship with global symmetry of the nonlinear metasurfaces remains elusive. According to the Penrose tiling and the newly proposed hexagonal quasicrystalline tiling, here we designed and fabricated the nonlinear optical quasicrystal metasurfaces based on the geometric phase controlled plasmonic meta-atoms with local rotational symmetry. The second harmonic waves will be determined by both the tiling schemes of quasicrystal metasurfaces and the local symmetry of meta-atoms they consist of. The proposed concept opens new routes for designing nonlinear metasurface crystals with desired optical functionalities.
We describe a method for exactly diagonalizing clean $D$-dimensional lattice systems of independent fermions subject to arbitrary boundary conditions in one direction, as well as systems composed of two bulks meeting at a planar interface. Our method
builds on the generalized Bloch theorem [A. Alase et al., Phys. Rev. B 96, 195133 (2017)] and the fact that the bulk-boundary separation of the Schrodinger equation is compatible with a partial Fourier transform operation. Bulk equations may display unusual features because they are relative eigenvalue problems for non-Hermitian, bulk-projected Hamiltonians. Nonetheless, they admit a rich symmetry analysis that can simplify considerably the structure of energy eigenstates, often allowing a solution in fully analytical form. We illustrate our extension of the generalized Bloch theorem to multicomponent systems by determining the exact Andreev bound states for a simple SNS junction. We then analyze the Creutz ladder model, by way of a conceptual bridge from one to higher dimensions. Upon introducing a new Gaussian duality transformation that maps the Creutz ladder to a system of two Majorana chains, we show how the model provides a first example of a short-range chiral topological insulator hosting topological zero modes with a power-law profile. Additional applications include the complete analytical diagonalization of graphene ribbons with both zigzag-bearded and armchair boundary conditions, and the analytical determination of the edge modes in a chiral $p+ip$ two-dimensional topological superconductor. Lastly, we revisit the phenomenon of Majorana flat bands and anomalous bulk-boundary correspondence in a two-band gapless $s$-wave topological superconductor. We analyze the equilibrium Josephson response of the system, showing how the presence of Majorana flat bands implies a substantial enhancement in the $4pi$-periodic supercurrent.
The loop-current state discovered in under-doped cuprates is characterized by a vector ${bf Omega}$ which has four possible orientations which correspond to different domains of order in a perfect sample. Since translational symmetry remains unchange
d in the pure limit, no gap occurs at the chemical potential. On the other hand Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has revealed that the magnitude of the pseudo-gap in under-doped cuprates varies spatially and is correlated with disorder. For disorder coupling also to the direction of ${bf Omega}$, there can only be a finite temperature dependent static correlation length for the loop-current state below the ordering temperature of the pure problem. It is shown that, in this situation, singular forward scattering of fermions for large correlation lengths induces an angle dependent pseudo-gap in the single-particle spectral function near the chemical potential. The peaks in the spectral function at the fermi-vectors are away from the chemical potential proportionally to the square of the average loop order parameter measurable by polarized neutron scattering. This result is tested. Due to the finite correlation length there always exist low frequency excitations at long wavelength at all temperatures in the ordered phase. Such fluctuations motionally average over the shifts in frequencies of local probes such as NMR and muon resonance expected for a truly static order.
